Hi ! I wanted to know if anyone on here has any experience with regionally and nationally accredited rn-bsn programs that are almost fully online or completely online that are not over a year to earn on a part-time basis.
It's getting a bit difficult in picking a bsn that I want to start in the next few weeks but I am looking at USF, UF, Univ. of Texas in Arlington and Drexel University so if anyone has any input on these programs, please drop a line here !
Would rather hear from current or past students on their thoughts on their BSN programs !

If you're already looking at UTA then check out Texas Tech. They have a pretty fast program. I know several nurses who did it in well under a year, don't know about part-time though.

Many people have completed Western Governors' online RN-to-BSN degree program in six months or less. It is asynchronous and competency-based, so students can move through the courses as fast as they wish.
WGU has institutional regional accreditation and all of their nursing programs are accredited by the CCNE.

My neighbor did hers in 9 months through Texas Tech, almost all online- I think you have to go to campus once for orientation and that's it.

If everything goes well, I will have spent 9 months at Ohio University assuming I pass everything this semester. However, I doubled up on classes and I had other fluff classes completed at my community college such as the fine arts credits. I only had the nursing classes and the writing class to complete. However, OU limits the people who can apply to 5 states.
I started March 24 and I will be done in December.
