Online RN degree?

If you are not at least an LPN, you are going to have to attend a program away from the home, at least for the clinical portion of it.

There is however plenty of pre-req and co-req classes like Anatomy, etc. that you can take online. Contact your local nursing school and see if they have an online component.

Schools should free publish their accreditation.

Most of us who got our BSN online were already RNs with Associate Degrees. There's many programs out there for online "RN to BSN " as we call them. Also there are a few online/distance learning LPN to RN programs, but even those aren't accepted everywhere.

Perhaps someone can lead you to an online degree, but investigate carefully the accrediations and whether or not your state accepts the degree for licensure.

Good luck!

I am just starting my online RN to BSN program, and I still have clinicals I have to do and arrange on my own. I took many of my liberal arts co-requsites for my ASN online, like Human Development, Cultural Anthropology, Western Civ.

If what you're looking for is a totally online RN program with no nursing license yet , I highly doubt there is such a thing, and if there is I would be very careful with it. Nursing school has a lot of clinical and lab time and you would need to have a clinical instructor with you at any time in clinical. But many schools offer or are starting to offer more online courses and "hybrid" courses with less on campus time and an online component.

As for accreditation, there is regional accreditation and many other types. See: http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.asp

There is one in Texas but you have to live in Texas and do clinicals here.

Yes it is frustrating, but you will find somthing that will work for you. A lot of people have big choices to make when they decide to become nurses because sometimes it means a large sacrifice in other areas of your life. Good luck, and don't give up.

Michlete....what state do you live in? I'm in MN. I did an online RN program. It was actually the FIRST completely online RN program... through University of South Dakota. You have to be an employee of the Good Samaritan Society (long term care) to participate. GSS and USD got together to find a way to get moms who work through school. Through the program some generals are through a satellite program and the rest are online. They do their best to arrange clinicals within 60 miles of everyone. I had a great experience..and a great education. USD is a gold standard NLN accredited school.
