Getting BSN while "Encumbered"

allnurses Guide · Dec 22, 2015

I wanted to ask is there any online colleges that will accept nurses to the BSN program while their license are "encumbered" (restrictions)... I really want to complete mine and having hard time finding any colleges??
Please help!!

In my experience most colleges that offer BSN require a unencumbered license - You might try some of the shadier for profit schools.

You might try Michigan State.

If the BSN program requires clinicals, then you probably won't be able to get in with an encumbered license. The school might be okay with it, but unfortunately the clinical sites will not. If your restrictions will end before clinicals begin, it may be worth talking to the BSN program's Director to see if they would let you only take didactic courses until your license is clear.

Hello! I know this post is somewhat old but wanted to share with you guys I was able to find 2 schools for RN-BSN that will accept nurses in monitoring as long as your license is active. Chamberlain University was one of them. They are a lot more expensive than what I was hoping for. About 19k for their program. Ohio University was the other and the tuition is very affordable. I think around 7-8k for the whole program. I had a great experience talking with Ohio University so I decided to go with them. They are fully accredited and have excellent numbers for retention and graduation rates. Another possibility is University of Cincinnati. They are affordable also. She couldn't give me a definite answer but stated as long as my license is active they consider it case by case. I didn't check back in to UC very much since I decided to go with Ohio University. The only think to note is that Ohio University only accepts students from certain states. I will attaché a picture of the states you have to live in. I hope this helps someone as I have spent the last few weeks making myself sick with stress trying to find a place to go after Western Governors turned me down along with several other universities.
