Is there an RN-BSN online school that doesn't require current RN license

[okiedokie123]

I'm about to go through the application process to sit for the NCLEX-RN, but I was wondering during the meantime, is there a school out there that will allow me to sign up without a current RN license yet? Just as a Graduate Nurse? There was one school I looked into which allowed you enroll but you must take the NCLEX within 6 months and if you were to fail, they would dis-enroll you. I'm not willing to shell out money and take my chances in case I do fail.

Any schools that anyone knows about that will allow this?

I know that Northwestern in Louisiana will let you, I think you need to have your license before the end of your first semester though ( I don't quite remember the timeline). It's an excellent program and I'm about to start there for my RN to BSN, but I do have my license.

You can get in to Ohio University's RN-BSN program without having a RN license, you just can't take any nursing courses without a RN license.

I doubt it. I started in an RN to BSN program a week after graduating from an ASN program, but they give 6 months to pass NCLEX otherwise you're put on hold in the program. This was a new rule for this program, in previous years you also needed a year work experience to get accepted, but they were trying to promote students to continue their education and took that rule away. Now I will need to be able to show the years work experience the semester before graduation, it is a 2 year part time program, so I basically have about 6 months to get a job as well. I've passed NCLEX now I need the job.

if you went to a college with an ADN and a BSN program then you can. My school is allowing me to do the ADN program and take the BSN classes as well so i can get my ADN and BSN at the same time. However, i already hold one Bachelors, so i only need the core classes.
