Hints of the Online Schools

Specializes in ICU, tele.

Hello everyone. I will be starting an online RN to BSN program in May and since I did the traditional route for my Associates, I am new to the online school world. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice for me. A friend from here told me about half.com for textbooks which helped me save a crapload on books! Any info, no matter how little would help. Thank you in advance and HELP A SISTER OUT!:lol2:

I am enrolled at UWYO online and the classes that I have taken are sectioned in units. We have several things listed in each unit to do such as: read lecture, discussion, journal, writing, etc. I have found that the best practice is when a unit opens to try and complete as much as I can as quickly as I can. A lot of the time I can complete most of the unit in 1-2 days unless it's writing a paper. It's just so much easier to get most of the work out of the way as soon as possible and not have it hanging over your head.

I did both my BSN and MSN online and the one hint I can give is to stay on top of the assignments. If you get behind, fess up right away.

I agree, just as in ADN school, don't get behind!

I did both my BSN and MSN online with University of Phoenix and was very happy with the education I got. I did the BSN in 15 months, the MSN in one year and I'm now doing a traditional post-MSN clinical nurse specialist.
