I need help finding a online RN to BSN program?

I would like to take a RN to BSN course that is completely online with no clinicals. I would also like to be able to complete it at my own pace (which for me would mean something I could complete in a year or less).

I have heard of WGU, but their pass/fail grading system is keeping me away. From my understanding, a pass would be considered a "B" or 3.0 right? I plan on going for CRNA after BSN so I feel having a GPA of 3.0 would hurt my chances of getting accepted to any of those schools since the minimum GPA to get in is a 3.0.

If it is possible I would like to take a online course that has more tests rather than writing papers. I know I can't get away from writing papers completely, but I really feel that they don't help me learn as well as test taking. This isn't necessary, but would be nice.

I don't care if there are a few prerequisites to get in, just not a ridiculous amount of them.

I would like to keep the cost of the whole program under $15k if possible.

Thanks for any help!

    There are plenty of WGU graduates that got accepted to CRNA schools and went on to become full fledged CRNAs. Just browse around and do a little research on this topic. GPA is probably the last criteria they look at. Most CRNA schools value relevant work experience soooo so so much more. Like a thousand times more. Recommendation letters are crucial as well. They look at GRE too, but it does not matter as much as experience, as long as you're slightly above average percentile or higher, you're good. Again, experience speaks volume from what I read on allnurses. Good luck :)

    Thank you for your input. I haven't really looked into many CRNA schools yet so I guess I should look into them more. I figured since they only let in 10-30 people that it would be very hard to get in if you barely met their requirements.
