Help with online RN-BSN, RN-MSN programs

Published

I am a 43 yof and have been a RN for 17 years. I injured my back a year ago and it appears that I will not be able to do the lifting and other physical activities required for hands-on patient care. I am very willing to go back through an advanced online bridge program. I would like to get information from graduates of multiple online programs; including cost (real figures), presentation, ease of courses, benefit of courses, problems (or lack of) with acceptance of degree for employment or further education. I have researched the web extensively on multiple programs, but I want to hear the REAL side of what the program is like. Would you choose it again? What would you do differently?

Thanks................BamaRN1990

Hey, sorry about your injury! I went to Drexel University online. The school is based out of Philadelphia, but since the degree is online you can do it anywhere. They have a RN-BSN-MSN program you might be interested in...you could get your masters in teaching, then the lifting and such would not be bothersome to you.

the thing I liked about Drexel is that its a "real" school and employers dont know it was an online degree. I hope that helps, good luck!
