BSU RN to BSN

[nursedan1]

Hey all,

First time poster. I recently was accepted into Boise State University's RN to BSN online completion track. I've found very limited information regarding reviews on the program on the site thus far. I was hoping to find out from any current RN-BSN students or Alumni what they thought of the program?

The program seems to fit me perfectly but still would love some additional input from anyone else. Thanks!

Hi Dan,

i just got accepted to the boise state Rn to bsn online program. I have to take stats. Did you have to take stats? And if you did, was it doable? Did you take it alone or did you take it along with your other classes? Also, how was the course load, was it mostly papers? Thank you.

Yes, I've completed the program. I'm happy to say that in graduated with my BSN from Boise State in July 2017. It was an amazing experience. I had researched many other RN-BSN online programs and am truly happy that I chose Boise State. I hadn't had any previous experience with distance or online learning.

I worked full time throughout the program and had a small child at home. I took 2 classes per semester except for the first semester only taking one.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Nursedan1,

How were the practicums? I saw that at least two of the classes required a lot of practical hours. Were these classes reasonable? Thank you.

Thank you so much for replying to my thread post. I have been looking at a lot of other online programs as well and really like what Boise State has to offer. I like the flexibility of the program as well.

Specific questions:

How long to completion?

Did you ever take an of the accelerated format classes (7 weeks) during a spring/fall semester?

For the 2 classes requiring "lab" did you experience any difficulties getting these projects completed?

Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone! I am really interested in the RN to BSN online program at BSU. I have read comments and I was also thinking about joining the school, but I am a horrible test tacker, so I was inquiring if anyone knew if there are tests during the program? Not the end all be all if there is but just curious thank you

@janetmmm7 how are your classes going at BSU and specifically how was your stat class and which one did you take? I have applied to BSU, I can't apply to the RN-BSN program yet as I still have to take those first few classes first. I'm in contact with Candice over at BSU and I absolutely love her.

Hello, im interested in the BSU RN-BSN, Im waiting to sit for my NCLEX, is it possible to have my transcripts evaluated before I take my nclex?

How does anyone who recently completed the program liked it ?

I’ve just started at BSU fall semester 2019! I’m super excited! But intensely nervous! I’ll be in Nurse 350 and I want to say 240. So far it’s been ok but there seems to be a lot of busy work on the black board platform. I’ve never used Canvas, but am beginning to wonder if it’s easier to use. Also, it’s very confusing it’s like you need to read every little word to find out where everything is. I think for me that’s been the most frustrating part. I guess once I’m used to it I’ll think differently, but for now I’m feeling just a wee bit overwhelmed! Oh well that’s life:) If anyone has any good advice I’m willing to hear it. Thank you!

Hi,

 

I have a question. I received an Acceptance Decision Letter from BSU and I am a bit confused because my major says "Pre RN-BS program" instead of "RN to BSN comp". Although their letter did not say anything regarding being accepted to the nursing program, could it be that? Or could it be because I technically still have to complete their required Statistics class? Thank you, hoping you will see this.
