good online RN to BSN program

I just got my ASN from Excelsior College--their program was exceptional, and they have an RN to BSN as well as MSN programs available.

(Plus, they have a campus and "real" students with "real" classrooms, in addition to their online program--not all the online/nontraditional programs do....)

A little in advance, welcome to the United States!

Chris,

thank you for your responce.

I am exporing their web site right now.

Because I do not have any transferable credits I have to earn them by exams.

I think Excesior exams are offered only in the US and Canada.

I will be able to earn some credits through CLEP exams which are offered in London,UK.

I couldn't find RN to BSN curriculum in Excelsior college web site. What are their general credit requirements?

Sorry to ask so many stupid questions but US education system is new to me.

Thanks

I have just started my fourth class with University of Phoenix online. There are some non-nursing classes that I will need which also can be taken with them. So far I have really enjoyed it. It is not easy but I have learned a lot. Each class is five weeks long with usually a week break in between. The only down side is the cost but they do financial aid. They are accredited and will review your transcripts. They award 30 credits for your nursing school plus any other classes you may have. I'm sure they would be happy to talk to you.

Heavens, don't apologize!!! I've been an American all my life and I learn something new (and usually the hard way) all the time!!! I'm not sure what to tell you about the Excelsior College RN to BSN program, but I do know that exams are given outside the US and Canada because when I spoke with my advisor about coming to graduation (not feasible for me this time), she said they have graduates who come from all over the world. So, it makes sense to me that they must be able to take exams, right....?

They do have a toll free number. If you cannot access it from Britain, you can feel free to email me, I will call them and relay questions and answers, if you like. (If you have yahoo messenger, perhaps we can do it in real time....)

Let me know if I can be helpful. I have time right now (meaning in the next couple of weeks)--I'm avoiding studying for my boards!! LOL

I went through SUNY Delhi. I thought it was great and it is a state school so the cost is cheap. I would check it out. There are clinical hours, bit the rest is online.
