Does Ga. honor online schools?

Hey everyone. Sorry for the vague thread title, but I'm meeting with an advisor tommorow and wanted to know where I could find out which online/distance learning programs are honored in Ga. I already know about Excelsior being a no-go...that sucks. Anyhoo, thanks for any help. :-)

Depends what type of program.

If you are already a RN getting a BSN or MSN should not be an issue. If it is for initial licsense I think you know their stand.

I'm a new LPN looking to get my RN ASAP for a commission in the military, more specifically, my ADN. I was really planning on doing this online as much as possible. From the looks of it I may have to spent a considerable amount of time in a brick and mortar school. What is up with Ga. not honoring Excelsior? I know some experienced LPN's that were planning to go this route. >:-(

I spoke to a rep from Indiana state university today and their distance program through the college network looks good and is honored in Ga.

Be careful with the online nursing in GA. Call the state of GA before starting any online nursing courses. I am one of those excelsiors students that spent a lot of money and time( cant get endorse). Now, I am trying to get into a regular nursing program.

Thanks for the advice studytime, I'm sorry you are one of the victims of this decision which will only serve to worsen the shortage in Ga. Goodluck to you.
