Hello I have been a CNA sine 1994. I'm really looking to become a RN.. Is it possibleto find a school that does online courses to help me achieve this. Any advice and help would be great.. Thank you for taking time to read my post..Trina from CT

I also would assume a school that is totally online for a CNA to become an RN is a scam.

Jan 23, 2012 I would check out your local large teaching hospitals...most of them have a nursing school. I think you can probably take some of your academic classes online, just depends on the curriculum of the school. I've NEVER heard of an entire RN school online. In fact, I doubt it is even possible given how much time is spent early on in the skills labs, etc. Good Luck!
rockiesgurl 7 Posts Jan 25, 2012 Roseman University offers an Accelerated Bachelor Science Nursing (ABSN) program with the didactic portion (lecture) online, but the rest is in a classroom. You can always take prereq's online though. Colorado Community Colleges offers online A&P courses, Chemistry, Microbiology, and more-- all online. Do as much as you can online but then tranfer into a ADN or BSN program and finish the last 2 years in a classroom. OR, you can finish a degree in Psychology, Nutrition or anything you want online and then use that completed degree to get into a ABSN (12 month program). Either way, at some point you will need to attend campus.Good luck!
