More than a YEAR!!

My BSN took 14 months through Chamberlain. All online and no clinical component.

You can complete the RN-BSN Academic Outreach program at Ohio University in a year IF: 1) You have all of the non-nursing pre-reqs (chem, bio, math, stats, social science, etc) and; 2) Are willing to double up on courses for a semester or two.

I started the program in the summer session last year and now have only two classes left that I will complete in the Fall semester. I should note that I was only willing to do one course at a time (courses are 5 weeks long and you can take 3 each semeseter) and you would need to double up, i. e., take 4 during the semester, to finish in a year. Quite a few of my classmates have done this. The plusses are that OU program is completely on-line, tuition is among the lowest out there and OU is fully accredited (CCNE and Middle States - important if you think you may go on for your MSN or DNP). The biggest minus is that the evaluation and admissions processes take longer than they should.

I applied to OU and it literally took 6 weeks to hear anything. And, that was with calling to check on receipt or transcripts, and following up. I start October 1, so I hope the classes are not as bad as their admissions
