Choosing an RN to BSN program...

I have narrowed it down for about 4-5 schools. Primarily based on cost, accreditation, number of credits, and length of program.

I have no idea how to choose one. They all seem fine.

What am I missing? What haven't I thought of? What else should I be thinking about with this deision? Am I making too much out of it?

Should I throw a dart? ;-)

any suggestions would be helpful.

    Flexibility? I chose a program with 12 start dates per year and no discussion postings or group projects. I DETEST group projects and they would be a deal breaker for me (unless the program was free...)

    I would give consideration to quality and reputation. If I am going to invest in education, I want it to be good and highly respected.

    I would also recommend choosing a school where you know someone who either graduated recently or is going there now. It can be helpful to have a friend who "knows the system" and can help you navigate that system.

    I also recommend that you choose a school that is either located within driving distance or that is located in an area where you have family/friends. This is less important if you plan to have no face-to-face contact with anyone at the school. However sometimes, problems arise (even in online programs) that can best be fixed with a visit to campus. Choosing a school you could visit if you really wanted to is a good idea (but may less necessary than my other recommendations above.)

    Good luck.
