Best online RN to BSN?

Published

What are the best and worst online RN to BSN programs?? I have my ADN and a prior bachelors in psychology. Need advice. Thank you!

Also, are there any online MSN/nurse practitioner programs that don't require clinicals?

I'm not sure about the RN-BSN part of your questions - but maybe check US News - I think they have rankings, or google it.

I'm currently applying for FNP school and want to do it online. If you're thinking of that some programs allow you to do RN-MSN, so make sure you check that out - it would save you time in the end!! But all that I have found require clinicals, even the online programs. But how can you be an NP without clinical?? I think that would be very tough and in the end unsafe for your license and your patients... the online programs have you do clinicals in your hometown - a lot make you find your preceptors and clinical sites; some have specialists who help you find them though. Good luck!! :)

It seems you are seeking the ultimate unicorn. There is not one single NP program in existence that doesn't have a clinical practicum requirement. Otherwise, how would the school produce competent NPs?

Oops my brain is mush from studying... i meant to say experience not clinicals. I know a lot of msn programs i've seen want at least 1 year work experience as an RN before you can be accepted. Wondering if theres any programs I can get into and start completing while I'm working. I'd rather go right into an MSN program if I can rather than doing the bachelors first
