Try SUNY at Stonybrook (NY). They have an online MSN program, and I am pretty sure they will consider a non-nursing BS (I know they did a few years ago). Last I knew, their online MSN programs were limited to NP programs only, but that may have changed.
But wait, I think you need to be an RN (just saw the LPN written in your post). Not sure if they would take you.
On that note, I know there are direct-entry masters programs, who take people with other degrees. I know Columbia University has that (but it is NOT online). I really don't think it matters that you have your LPN. If you can't get inot one like that, I would seruiously consider getting your ADN or your BSN, b/c I don't think the LPN would give you any advance standing.
BTW, Stonybrook has a BSN online as well, if that helps you at all.
Would you like to comment?
