Hi all!
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any online bridge program through an actual school. I recently applied to a school in NC with now luck. Would need to be a school that is in the SC compact. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks!

I've never heard of an ADN program online. There are lots of ADN to BSN programs, though.

Clinicals will never be online.

Online ADN programs exist only for those with licensure as LPNs or paramedics. If you are not an LPN or paramedic, the best you'd be able to find is a hybrid program that blends a few online courses with face-to-face clinical practicum.
I am an LPN. That's what a bridge program is. Lpn to Rn. Aorry, didn't really make that clear.

Have you checked out the Excelsior.edu ADN program? Be sure and look carefully at any "footnotes" for your state. Some states require additional experience or training in addition to completion of the Excelsior degree + passage of the NCLEX. But if you can get thru the program and the NCLEX, last time I checked, only California did not accept applicants from this school.

I have a coworker who did the LPN to RN bridge through Excelsior, she said it was a nightmare. Although she is now an RN, so it is doable! We live in Washington State, she said there were a lot of loopholes to maneuver to register for the NCLEX and get her licence.
Try this, if you haven't already. Have you tried Walden?
