Advice needed LPN-RN

So I am currently enrolled in an LPN program and will be finishing up in March, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good online schools where I would be able to transition from an LPN to an RN??:uhoh21::uhoh21:

A friend of mine did the Regents program about 8 yrs ago and loved it.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS THROUGH COLLEGE NETWORK OR RUE.

I'm taking the prerequisites for the LPN to BSN online program through Indiana State University. I started out enrolled in Excelsior's LPN to ASN program then switched to this one.

I think it's great that you're already thinking of RN. However, if you are doing it online please keep in mind that some states do not recognize online RN degrees. :o California for example. They want you to have the clinical hours and will not accept your RN license from any state if you did it online. So, depending on what state you are looking to work in, you should do your research before you shell out the money. Just FYI.

I have looked into the Indiana State LPN-RN program as well...would you refer someone else to go that route? you're taking your classes online correct?

I am looking at on-line programs also. I am curious about your statement "do not need to do this through College Network or Rue."

Why do you say this?
