While waiting to get accepted into an RN program, I completed my BS in health Science from Cal State Fullerton. In May 2016, I completed my nursing program which was ADN-RN. I am awaiting approval to take NCLEX.
I am looking for a good, affordable ONLINE BSN program, that will take my BS degree units or most of them and begin in the BSN curriculum without repeating a lot of monotonous courses like math, hist, etc. Prefer online to ease the transition into my new RN schedule I am planning to have in the months to come.
Considering University Texas Arlington, but I am hearing I have to take a few additional non nursing courses.
This will be my second bachelors degree directly out of RN school and I hate that I must do ANOTHER bachelors, but I know it is the future of nursing. PLEASE HELP! Thank you!

The UT Arlington program has to include courses that have been state-mandated for all BS degrees. Private (not tax supported) schools do not have state mandates, but may have other requirements depending upon their own mission... e.g., religious courses at a Catholic University. This is just the way it works. academic hoops must be jumped.
Thank you for your input!
