Hello I just graduated from an ADN program and I am looking for a RN to BSN online program to continue as I don't want to stop between my degrees but continue until the DNP. I am starting my residency in PCU in August but I think I can do one class at the time( even thought people are telling me to wait), that's why I am interested in Grand Canyon University because their program is 1 class at the time for 5 weeks and you can finish the program in 14months if I am not mistaking but it's too expensive. I am also looking for a school that does not require chemistry or biology( reason why I am not looking into a state university). I want to see if there are other good schools out there and I would like to hear from students who attended grand canyon. It would be nice to find a school that offers FNP and DNP programs so I won't have to look for colleges for those programs when I am ready to take them.
Thank you for your help and advice.

Congratulations Thiate! Welcome to what I believe is the best profession out there. In the interest of full disclosure, I am the program director for the RN-to-BSN program at Aspen University. However, I chose to work here for a reason, and that's because I really believe in our university and what we do. Our mission is to provide affordable, quality education to all college worthy students. Come check us out at http://www.aspen.edu. We do not currently offer an FNP program, but our MSN has 5 specialty tracks to choose from. The DNP should up online in the coming days, and of course we do have the BSN completion program. Courses are 8 weeks long, and you can overlap them if you want. Classes start every other Tuesday, so no waiting until Aug or January. The affordable part is through a monthly payment plan that is reasonable, and avoids years of paying interest on student loans. The quality part means we don't simply hand you a degree - you have to earn it. Feel free to email me if you have questions - [email protected].
Thank you Jenny for your response and recommendation. I will definitely take a look at Aspen while I am doing my research.
Thanks again
I am down to Western Governors University and Grand Canyon University. I can't decide between those two but I am very tempted with WGU. Just need to know if I will easily get accepted into an FNP program after graduating from there.
