distance learning programs

[SC-Tele-RN]

Hello all,

I am considering enrolling in a distance learning course for an RN to BSN degree. I have researched two prominent programs, Excelsior (formerly Regent's) and Jacksonvilled State University.

Does anyone have any personal insight into these programs? Any specific frustrations, commendations, or otherwise that might help me make a decision?

Has anyone researched any other distance program that is accredited that I did not list above? I would appreciate hearing from any and all. Please list links when you can.

Thanks in advance for all your help...

Washington University in St. Louis will do tuition for this I have checked, and think I will do it. As I said in a previous post Jefferson College is the one I contacted, but they called me AGAIN today at work really doing the "SALES PITCH". I really was turned off by this, as I told her I wouldn't be ready until the March classes. She pushed to get me into the January classes, until I told her not to call me back til then. It might be a very good school, but I hate PRESSURE SALES!

There are several decent schools out there who are now offering full online BSN. I am attending University of Phoenix. Like all schools it has it's good and bad points but it is a very convenient school for working folks with families like me! I will be done in May (18 months from when I started) and my GPA is up to 3.97. My hospital (University of NM) pays reimbursement at UNM's rates not U of Phoenix's, so I am being reimbursed for half my tuition (still not bad). I think I might even continue on and finish my MSN or my MBA next year. Use http://www.google.com and search for online BSN programs and you will be amazed at how many you'll find. Good Luck!:)
