Nursing Students Online Learning

These are the classes that the UOP online programs shows as their cirriculum.

Surely there are more classes required to go from ASN to BSN? Does anyone know? I understand their classes are 5 weeks each? Thanks

Depending on how many of your credits transfer - yep that's it. The biggies are the electives - so if you have courses other than nursing, you should be fine. I had another associates degree in general studies when I did this program so had all the electives I needed. The BSN completion took me 18 months but I doubled classes (they run for five weeks), skipped almost all the breaks between classes and really crammed stuff together. Its not impossible, just very time-consuming.

That's 13. When I look at my program and take out the co-req courses that's about right.

You have to also consider if they have any coreq courses that you might need like a 2nd English (some ADN programs only require one English course), statistics, humanities, etc.

This is what slowed me up and made my program about 2.5 years.

Yes, the University is accredited by several agencies.UOP Online is Accredited by the North Central Association of the Higher Learning Commission same as all accreditted colleges and national accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). You are eligible for the same Stafford ( Federal Loans) any school has.

The school has an active and large Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau also. I was pleased with my experiences.

I did both my BSN and MSN from UofP. I did max my student loans but it was well worth it. Totally accredited and I have found it to be accepted w/o question. The only thing folks are looking for is that degree. Good luck.

Can you get your LPN -> ASN through UofP as well?
