Best Online Nursing Schools- post RN

To begin, don't attack me.....:blackeye:

I'm extremely new here. This is my first time logging in and my first post. I have no clue how to navigate this site ( in the case that this question is not original), but I'm looking for some help that only nurses/post nursing students can offer.

Speaking of post RN degrees, such as RN to BSN, RN to MSN, etc. Which online schools have the best reputation?

To give some history, I have a previous BA in Administrative Leadership and am looking to start undergrad again to complete an accelerated associates program and secure RN Licensing with a plan of then continuing on with school, in possibly one of the programs listed above and furthering my career for an end goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner.

No, I'm not an RN yet but, if you can't tell I prefer to have a plan. Also I need these questions answered because I'm trying to pursue my career path with minimal debt and am considering scholarships. I also prefer online because I have 2 small children and will not be able to spend a bunch of time away from home. However, I'm not interested in just passing the test and getting the credentials to make the money. I want an online program that is going to fully prepare me, not just claim to prepare me. Any advice at all on the above topics is GREATLY appreciated. And again, I'm not stupid- just new here. :sarcastic:

There is no entirely online entry level RN program. All programs will have clinical, or hands on, hours associated with them

For example, I achieved my RN from a community college with a classroom and clinical component. Fast forward many years, and I am going for my BSN via on online program

I hope this makes sense!

Good luck to you

The OP was asking about online RN-BSN/MSN programs, not pre-licensure.

Thanks, but my question isn't about entry level online programs, it is about post rn, possibly post graduate online programs that have a reputation of being worth the time and effort. Do you have any suggestions, which online school are you attending for your bsn?
