RN to BSN Online Program Accreditation Questions

[EMEddie]

Hello everyone-

I am a California resident, currently work as a critical care RN. I have an associates degree in nursing, previously to this I obtained a Biology and Public Health B.S. I am now interested in completing an RN to BSN program because of the options it will allow me to have for graduate school. I am interested in the UC Davis FNP/PA program as well as UCSF, UCLA NP programs. CRNA school has also browsed my mind, so obtaining a BSN is something I want to have to not be limited in options when applying to graduate school.

Which online programs that you know of or have done are fully accredited and wont give me any issues when applying to graduate school programs? There are many online programs out there, but my main issue is which one is worth doing when it comes to legitimacy and accreditation.

I have looked at the University of Texas at Arlington, that one seems to be a good choice. I also would like to do a program that can give me the option to be finished in a year or less, as many of such programs are longer than a year.

I have researched a lot this website, but still cant find the exact answer to my question, so I thought that posting in this forum will help me as it deals with graduate school.

Thanks in advance,

Eddie

There is some info on this website about this same topic, I can't remember all of the different schools that people have done the online rn-bsn program and gotten in. I did univ of wyoming online, I don't think they knew it was an online program - I don't know if they would care.

Good luck.

I am ok with an online program, I am just wondering about its legitimacy.

Is it accredited? If so then what's the question? If its bothering you then contact potential schools and ask if its an issue.
