Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

hello everyone my name is kandi and im a mother of 3 boys 2,6and 8. Im a cna and work in a nursing home and have for the past 5 years. I am now attending a online university to get my degree to be a RN. I don't no to much about collages and what I have to do, but when I enrolled I told them that I wanted to to be a RN and they set everything up but I just found out that my papers doesn't say degree in nursing it says degree in Health

Administration can anyone tell me is this right, can I get my Rn or even into nursing school with this. Im really confused and just need some advice.:mad:

Hi Kandi,

I am not a nurse (yet) but I know that w/o a doubt that it is impossible for a cna to obtain a RN degree online. The school's that offer RN degrees online are usually only open to LPNs trying to get an RN degree Or RNs with an associate who are going for a bachelors. I have heard of some that are open to Paramedics but that is about it. I think that school just wants you money and they told you what you want to hear.
