Ind State Univ. online RN to BSN

Published

I am considered starting Indiana State University's online RN to BSN program. Has anyone attended this college and done the online program? I live in CA and am wondering if I can do all of my clinicals/public health hours at my hospital of employ? Also, do you know how often classes are cancelled? Thanks for your help!!!

I don't know much about the program but I can tell you to stay away from College Network. It's a publishing company that sells study guides and if you go to Indiana State University you can probably get everything you need and more without the thousand you can spend with college network.

As far as clinicals, I'd ask the school directly as well as the clinical educator at your hospital.

I've been taking my grad classes through University of Illinois at Chicago - I believe their RN-BSN program is similar to ISU. With UIC, classes don't ever get cancelled - they're all online. You have to submit a letter from whomever you'll be getting your clinical hours through - this can be your place of work, but you can't be paid for them (they have to be hours in addition to what you work). They give you specific assignments that have to be completed each week, plus discussions you have to participate in.
