With not a lot of nursing schools in my area, I want to be able to have options. Has anyone gotten their nursing degree online, if so is it or a good idea or should I just wait?

Most of us are pre-clinical or pre-nursing students so we do not have our degrees yet. I have taken classes online but I will not be earning my Nursing Degree online.

Here is the Forum you want to check out to ask this question assuming this thread is not moved to it via a mod. Many of the people on the forum below are working on ADNs and BSNs online. By the way, it is wise to read many of the threads through search just in case this topic has been asked and answered. Good luck.

From what I've found so far, most of the online programs are usually RN-BSN, which means that you already need to have your RN licensure in order to obtain your bachelor's online.

I personally have never run across an online Rn program. Honestly I would be petrified if I was being treated by a person that got their RN degree online. You have to learn the fundamentals of the career with hands on experience. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the subject matter. There are many online options for the RN->BSN and such as the last poster stated.

the only online ADN program that I am aware of is at Deaconess in St. Louis. You would have to check with your state BON to see if DCN is recognized by them.

Here's a web link to Deaconess... www.deaconess.edu

Excelsior College is another option...but again...check with your state BON to see if they accept EC grads.

Good luck!!

We have an on-line program in AZ; it's just the Book work thats "on-line"; not your clinicals or labs and stuff like that... The program is the same as the in school, all day long programs- same curriculum..etc..
