Any suggestions on a good(and reasonably priced) online RN-BSN program/school?
Also.. Has anyone gone to a "tech" school and had problems with getting into a bridge program ? I was told by the instructors that I wouldn't since I will still be receiving an ADN, but I'm just wondering if anyone ran into any problems.

I think it depends on how your local RN-BSN programs award credit. In my area, no on cares about credit transferability. The programs give you credit just for having your license, and everyone takes the same upper level 30ish hours.
My ADN program is integrated, so I don't have credits for maternity, peds, psych, etc. But in order to sit for the NCLEX, the BON had to approve my program - meaning I got my hours in all the required coursework/clinical areas. So I automatically get credit for those classes at my BSNs school.

I don't have personal experience but have heard that it's hit or miss with whether a BSN program will accept a tech school. It's all about accreditation. Is yours fully accredited?
