I initially got my ADN and went back to get my BSN. I graduated from a state supported university with a BSN where I completed the majority of the courses on-line. On a degree from a university, it doesn't state you earned your degree on-line. However, degrees from Excelsior are widely known as "on-line" programs. I have no idea if certain schools or programs are looked at differently or not? When I was researching schools, I found it was less expensive to attend a university locally that offered almost all of the courses on-line as compared to going through Regents or Excelsior. I may be wrong, but a degree is pretty much a degree. There are certain standards that are required of all degrees no matter what program or school one attends. In my opinion, taking on-line courses shows a great deal of tenacity and self discipline. In fact, some of the on-line course work seemed to be much more demanding than some of the classes I took on campus. But, the best part of it was you can do the work whenever you felt like it as long as you met the deadlines and for a night shift nurse, that was a wonderful thing! Hope this helps some.
