I am a working RN in a local hospital for now!
But I am making a decision if I should keep my job and go for an online B.S.N Program....
Anyone knows which on-line B.S.N. Program is good?
I just don't know which one is good and which one is no good!!!

I am in the online RN to BSN at Grand Canyon University. I just started , but it seems okay.
I am just worried that any of the on-line schools might be a scam or non of them is accredited....I just don't want to find out it is a scam. Is it quicker to finish school than the traditional in-class program?

I was told this by an RN who was what I call.............a CAREER HEAD. She was concerned with, first and foremost, advanceing her career. If it didnt advance her career in some way shape or form, she DID NOT do it.
She said: "You can go anywhere you please for your ADN. Where you get your BSN and MSN matters though. The more prestegious the school, the more likely you are to advance".
I have no idea if it is true or not, I have ADN and am a couple years from being able to go back for my BSN. But, well, if anyone would know, it'd be her.
I have seen LPN to RN online program and RN to BSN on-line program!
I just don't want to finish the program and find out the program is not acceptable!
Anyone knows the answer!!!
GCU is fully acredited, I know many people who have done the RN-BSN and also who have done their NP and are now working as NP's. GCU also hasa regular in person program for getting a 4 year RN or RN-BSN.

You should contact your BON and find out if on line education is accepted in your area, and maybe even which on line programs they accept (if they do).

There is no "answer."
Find a school you like, post about it, and we'll answer questions.
