LPN to RN Online?

I am a single mom and just started working as an LPN............it will be beneficial to me and my kids if I go on for my RN degree but I have to continue to work and can not take off to go to RN school. I don' t get to see my kids enough now and the guilt would eat me up if I went to school even a bit and worked. So to my question...................Who has done or doing this route online and how is it working for you? What school do you reccommend? Any info you would love to share with this single mother who wants to move forward please let me know! I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

Re: LPN to RN Online?

Hi there- although I'm not a nurse (cna and ma student) I had the same question....you may want to try THE COLLEGE NETWORK, EXCELSIOR, OR THE UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX online, I did a yahoo search and came up with those when I was checking into it. I read that the Univ of Phoenix is not entirely online, you do have to live near enough to a campus for some clinicals. I did read of one supposedly entirely online but can't remember which it was. But I also read that you have to have alot of self discipline and free time to do the LPN to RN program online and it wasn't easy. Hope this helps and good luck....

Re: LPN to RN Online?

Hi, I've been trying to do Excelsior College self-study program. I started a year ago and haven't progressed very fast. I've passed Nursing Concepts 1&2. I think it works well for those who are very self-disciplined and goal-oriented. I'm not either one, so it is taking me a long time. It isn't that I don't do well on tests. I do fine, I just have a hard time making myself study. I'll read like crazy for a few days and then I get busy with something else and the first thing you know three weeks have gone by and I haven't picked up a book. I expect that it will take me 2-3 years to finish at this rate. Unless something lights a fire under me! If you aren't in a hurry it's a great way to do it. You can study when you want at home. You don't have to have daycare or conflicts with work hours. It's great, but you really have to discipline yourself to do the work. Good luck.
