Cannot find no ADN programs!

Well- I appreciate the clarification, but I think 'Elvis has left the building'-lol.

She posted a flurry of threads-then doesn't appear to have returned!

Thanks for correcting me though!

Reading the post of her wanting to deliver babies and possibly doing c-sections is quite scary. Going from a medical assistant to midwife? If you're that uninformed about the nursing profession, or medical field in general, I think it is best to start with the fundamentals of the English language. NO accredited nursing school would allow her to enter with an English level presented in the OP posts. How will this individual write papers, or take an exam, if the person cannot even comprehend how one becomes a nurse let alone a NP.

OP would still have to manage to get to clinicals. It's not like s/he can do them at home ...

Well, to be fair, OP is actually looking to for an all online program including "clinical's." Perhaps, as opposed to clinicals, which have to be completed in person, clinical's can be performed from the convenience of one's home.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

I am not sure the OP really knows what he/she wants.

Good point -- I hadn't thought of that. :)

No... You can obtain a bachelors without and associates

Nursing is a professional discipline, not something you can really learn online. You don't see online medical, law, dentistry, education programs either, correct? The reason that online RN-to-BSN programs can work is that their students are already practicing RNs. They are adding theory on top of an established nursing knowledge base.

OP, you do not need an ADN to get a BSN. I entered my BSN program directly from high school. I couldn't drive when I entered nursing school- I was diagnosed with a brain tumor about 2 months after I'd been accepted and had seizures as a result of it. I went to a school in a city where the majority of the hospitals we completed clinicals at were accessible by public transportation. By the time I started clinicals, I'd had brain surgery and was seizure free and had a car on campus. Not everyone did, however. We carpooled, took cabs or took public transportation. I don't know any nursing students who can afford to spend $40/clinical day to park at the hospital's garages without splitting the cost with other students.

II am sure this has been said already, but there are no online ADN programs. The fastest you could make it to np is 5 years, and that's if you FLY. There are accelerated ADN to MSN programs, but even those are a minimum of 5 years of schooling, most of the time it will take 6-8.

Keep in mind it's 5 years once you are accepted to an ADN program, and prereqs usually run at least a year. At minimum a full semester.

I want to be a NP as well, because one saved my life, but I started with CNA, and LPN, bsn, and ADN prereqs and coreqs.

I am not even in a program yet, and I have been at it nearly a year.

I am afraid that is where you will have to start. Even a CNA course is difficult to do we lost 7 out of 18 in my class.

In my bio 1 class we had a 50% drop/ fail rate. So if you really want it you have a long hard road, but every one starts somewhere.

Thats bio1 as in the basics, anatomy, and micro are much harder.

Good luck op. Go for it if you have the time.

Dont let any one tell you, that you cannot, but be prepared to have no social life.

The prereqs are difficult, and from all accounts nursing school itself is more difficult.

You have to want it very badly just to become a LPN, and going further requires just as much determination if not more.

That is an amazing story, and a very compassionate inspirational response.

You give me hope for myself, and humanity.

Here I was having my pity party because I almost died from a lung abscess. I can't imagine the stress you must of gone through.

Good on you for overcoming I hope I can do the same.
