Direct entry Online Nursing

Published

I have been a CNA for 9 years now and I have a Bachelors degree in Religious Education. Does anyone know if there is an LPN program online or any direct entry nursing school online. I have small children and I am unable to attend the traditional classroom setting. I would appreciate your input or advice. Thanks.

Since you already have a bachelors degree, you might want to look into the online Accelerated BSN at the University of Wisconsin. You can check them out at http://www.uwosh.edu/colleges/con/undergrad/accelerated.php However, their program is quite pricey.

As for LPN, I have heard that a group of Minnesota community colleges offers an online option for their LPN program, with clinicals done in person (of course). You can find more information on that at http://distance.minnesota.edu/visitors/health_science/nursing/aas/ I really don't know any more regarding that program.

That is about it if you don't already have a nursing license.

The first program was to pricey for me and the second one would be too hard since I would be traveling to Minnesota alot (I live in PA). I'm attending a local part time LPN program. If all else fails with online learning, you might want to look into a local part time program too. In my area, I could go 2-3 days a week (which is what I do) or attend an evening/weekend program.

Good luck to you,

Marci
