Diploma RN asking whats a good online BSN course??

iLOVEbees · Sep 30, 2013

I just finished UTA's RN-BSN online. The cost of the courses are about $10K, but that's not including prereqs. If you're missing prereqs, 3 hours ones are $504 and 4 hour ones are $672 each. Plus books. I went used for most of mine and my most expensive book was about $100. I sold my books back through amazon and recouped about 2/3rds of my book money that way.

No idea about student loans. My employer did tuition reimbursement.

Try WGU.edu - all the prereqs are included in the flat fee/6 months of $3250 or so and if you have a ton of spare time, you can take as many as you can fit in. :)

thanks for your help .....havent done this in quite some time...dont know if I would be accepted due to high credit card bills....I would try to apply for grants and gov . assistance if I do make the leap......but I think this is my only way out of a big stagnant job hole right now.

if you use fed loans (Home - FAFSA on the Web-Federal Student Aid), they don't do a credit check. if you need private loans, they will. I've not heard of schools doing credit checks, but we did need to pass a background check. Inquire at the school as to their policies

Penn State has an online program through their world campus. It's costing me approx 14k for 10 courses - your number of courses will vary depending on how many additional courses you need (I had to take public speaking and statistics). I like it so far and I know a number of nurses who graduated from there and thought it was an excellent program. Here's the site if you're interested http://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/

Good luck!
