Best Online Programs under $25k

[Bell13]

I have been trying to conduct research on this topic and have found it to be very difficult, especially with a budget of under $25k. What RN-BSN online program did you attend? Was the program organized? Also was the all in total under $25k? Only info for online programs please. Thank you!

For everyone that completed wgu, where did you do your required community health clinical hours at? I know we are all from different areas but did you have the option to do it at your place of employment? Or did you have to find a mentor else where?

Unless you are in California, you do not need a mentor or preceptor to complete the community health practicum hours. You can drive around, do a windshield survey, and document that as part of your practicum. Other activities (interviews, cultural assessments, etc) count as part of your practicum hours.

Also, how were you able to complete the hours and still be able to work?

Like I said, California is the only state requiring a traditional practicum with a preceptor and logged hours. I did not need to submit a log. Your mileage may vary.

Thank you for the input! I'm in the PA so I guess the logged hours would not apply to me
