Advice on Online ADN to BSN program --inexpensive and good?

I completed by Associate's degree in nursing and am currently an RN in New York State. I very much want to complete my BSN at a reasonable pace (probably more than one year) from an online school that is organized, good and preferably a good deal also.:confused:

I've checked out Jacksonville, Liberty and Drexel and feel that they all seem quite expensive to me? Any recommendations?

I'd prefer, also, a place that doesn't require a clinical component, or someplace that has a clinical component that is not community nursing. I'm interested in acute care nursing, not vaccinations, parent teaching and school nursing and have done enough community nursing for the rest of my life!

I'd love some advice, please! If you have experience and recommendations, please post or email me.

Thanks!:typing:nurse:

Have you checked local colleges and universities? I found an online RN-BSN program at a state university, I didn't find it on any search so it took actually going to several college websites to find it.

Good luck. I'm doing mine completely online.

Have you looked into Excelsior for your BSN? Depending on any other credits you have, it can turn out to be pretty inexpensive because of their super generous transfer policy. A few of the BSN credits can be tested out of with EC tests quite inexpensively; the online classes are pretty reasonable in cost for a 4-year school.

I will today! Thanks for the suggestion.

Also look at SUNY Stonybrook. Excellent online program, well-respected and clinically deep, and the one I would take were I planning to remain on the floor or become a practitioner. You would get NYS resident rates, too, which makes it a steal.

I realize that I didn't specify -- I live in Canada and commute to Buffalo, NY for work.

So I believe I would be paying out of state fees which are pricey. However, I will check it out. Thank you.

I'm looking at the classes involved and am impressed. These are precisely the classes I want to take and am interested in - the pathology, and pharmacology. Thanks!

You're welcome.

Even out-of-state SUNY's affordable.

Good luck!

University of Wyoming is great and very affordable. I'm graduating from their RB-BSN program in a week. I've had a great time there and highly recommend it.

Okay, I'm looking into this also! Thanks!
