Slippery Rock charges $612 for a 3-credit class, plus fees. They require NO time on campus. My favorite part is that if you have at least 63 credits to transfer in, they don't require any liberal arts courses. Nope, no art, history, etc. Statistics and medical ethics are the only non-nursing courses they require. Accredited by NLN. I don't attend yet but am applying for fall.

Here is another online program. This college has reasonable tuition rates which is always a bonus. I admit that I did not look to deeply into their site but here is the link if anyone wants to check it out.

Hey Cheri,
Can you link the page that shows that you can begin after your first year?
Thank you!

The program can be completed in 2 semesters if all prereqs are done and you attend fulltime.

I am thinking UOW has made it to the top of my list for now.

The University of Maryland has an online RN-BSN program. I'm in the RN-MS program and I live in MD, but I've been taking online classes so far, and have had several classmates from out of state. The website is nursing.umaryland.edu.

Part-time fees starting Fall 2005 are $301 per credit for instate residents, and $461 per credit out of state. In addition, both have a $10 per credit fee, and a $234.50 flat fee per semester. Compared to some of the programs already mentioned, I'm not sure how affordable this program is

In preparation for getting a BSN I am trying to gather information regarding online BSN programs. If you have links to what you feel is an affordable , online, no residency requirement program, please post 'em here.

One program that I came across was with Thomas Edison State College. Does anyone have any information regarding their program? I was hoping to find someone that has first hand (or second hand ) experience with the TESC RN to BSN program as it seems to be an affordable option, which, of course, is always a bonus. From reading the catalog on their site it appears that you can use some of the EC exams to satisfy the upper level nursing courses.

The TESC program looks pretty decent but I am looking for some feedback to any online RN to BSN program. If anyone has links to what they feel is an affordable online RN/BSN program please post the link here.

The following is quoted from the above link:

"New Admission Policy
Admitted to UW with completed transcript evaluation
Application to School of Nursing
Licensed as a Registered Nurse (RN) or completed first year of RN program"

I am waiting to hear back from someone from UOW about what this means exactly...

**** It is a whole lot more expensive that about 220/hr

It's NLN approved.

Mona,

I forgot all about this program...Texas A&M is a great school from what I have heard.

Under the FAQ section from your link, it states that tuition is the same as the oncampus program.

The TAMUCC website states the non-resident tuition is $368 per credit hour. Here is the link.
