Accepted into online RN to BSN program

Congrats on being accepted into the BSN program at Empire. I originally was accepted there but did not go and chose Ohio University instead. I did not like the clinical component they required as I work almost 5 days a week and they could not give me a straight answer about what transferred and what didn't. In the end, I chose Ohio as I could finish faster and they accepted most of my prior credits and the tuition was great! Good luck to you!

Thank you woodsyny for the input. I like the fact that it's suny tuition. As far as clinicals, I work pt so it may work for me. I was lucky enough to be hired before they required RNs to have their BSN and I'm not in a rush to complete my degree.

Good luck to you at Ohio. And again, thanks for your input.

I am paying less at Ohio, and I live in New York and will finish sooner! The clinical did not interest me at all. I wanted to make it as painless as possible:yes:! You are welcome!

Hi woodsyny,

I checked out their website and it it looks good. I like how there is a support on this site as well as another social site. I guess I'm more afraid of the 15 weeks crammed into 5. I have been out of school for awhile now, work part time but I have a 2 year old toddler at home so life in my house is busy, to say the least. How has it been for you?

I was out of school for 31 years. The support of this site, plus a FB page for Ohio BSN students has helped me tremendously. The 5 weeks go very fast. I am in a 15 week elective class and just goes on and on! Many students at OU work and have families. I think every BSN program has their pros/cons. This was the best fit for me and so far am doing well.
