Hard time finding LPN-RN online programs...

Published

I've checked out this site and tried google, but so far haven't found too many options.

I've looked at Rue, but they don't list any costs on the website and I've heard Excelsoir is very expensive.

The other programs I've come across are: Chamberlain, Monroe County College, and Rio Grande. Are there more out there?

Excelsior wasn't that expensive, in my experience. But I'd avoid third-party publishers like Rue and TCN -- they just add unnecessary costs to the bottom line.

agree with lunah! steer clear of college network, and rue, all they do is give you modules and books to study from, you aren't actually getting a degree throught hem!

Indiana State University has a distance learning program for LPN to BSN. This might be one step more than you were wanting but it might be worth it to have the extra education.

i paid excelsior about $4k for my lpn-rn and my job reimbursed it. stay away from tcn & rue. you will still have to go thru and pay excelsior plus their fees.

I think Excelsior is the only accredited online LPN-ADN/RN program out there and in my experience so far, it's awesome, I am a little more than half way done :-) I find it to be very affordable, 3 credits for $250 out of state is not a bad deal! Just make sure that an ADN degree from Excelsior is acceptable in your state of practice. :-)
