Question for Nurse Managers/Hiring Managers

[RNikkiF]

I currently have an ADN and am considering going on to BSN (possibly MSN). My question for the nurse managers/hiring managers is this. Are 100% online bridge programs considered "legitimate" by managers? There is a program I am considering that is entirely online with no clinical requirement, which works very well for my schedule with work, kids,etc. Are there programs out there that you as a manager consider better than others? All feedback is appreciated! FYI... I'm in the Milwaukee area if that matters.

Hello, MrChicagoRN,

What do you mean by " a school with an extremely good, or extremely bad reputation" ? Where one can get the information about the reputation of the school?

Thank you

A lot of this is subjective. One way to sort out the bad ones is to check with your state board of nursing and see if they have sanctioned or disciplined any nursing schools in your area. A lack of accreditation is another red flag.
