diploma RN to BSN

Published

I am a diploma RN and am interested in obtaining a BSN. I started looking online and found some interesting programs. I was wondering if anyone else has used this method. Working full time and with a family, online would be great. The one particular program Deaconess College of Nursing mentions awarding the diploma nurse credits toward the BSN. Another program through Rochville University awards degrees based on life experiences including job history, educational acheivements, earned CEU's, etc. Please let me know of any program I might be interested in and how long could I expect it to take.

Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey www.tesc.edu offers an online BSN program that is NLN accredited. I don't know what state you're from, but the program is open to New Jersey RNs or out-of-state RNs who are working in New Jersey.

Hope this helps,

The nice thing about this program is that they do not require chemistry or statistics. However, you must complete, or test out of, at least one college level math course. I am giving this program serious thought. No stats and no chemsitry, its like a dream come true
