Hi, I am considering enrolling into Kaplan university's online program starting in April. It seems like a good fit, for my work schedule, and I should be able to complete in 18 months or less. I'm a little skeptical because I've never taken an online course before. Is anyone enrolled in this program that can give me some advice ?
I'm thinking of enrolling in Kaplan RN to bsn program. Has anyone attended there online program and has some insight for me ?
Looking for some thought on previous or current student enrolled in the RN-BSN program, and if they like or dislike the program.
Please help.
I'm thinking of enrolling for the April class, does anyone have any thought or experiences with this program?

Kaplan University does not have the most sterling reputation:

Other online RN-to-BSN programs exist that are cheaper, more reputable, and can be completed more swiftly.

If you are tempted to take an online course, take one offered by a reputable, long-established brick-and-mortar school, for example (but not limited to) Georgetown.
Some of them can be so expensive. Can you recommend any ?
Fort Hays State University online BSN - $186 per credit
UT Arlington online RN to BSN - $257 per credit
Lamar University online RN to BSN - $283 per credit
Grantham University RN to BSN - $265 per credit
Univ of Louisiana-Lafayette RN to BSN - $310 per credit
Eastern New Mexico Univ RN to BSN - $202 per credit
Thank you so much for your help

I graduated from Kaplan In January with my BSN - they are nationally and regionally accredited - Don't believe the hype!! And by the way.....they also have many brick and mortor units as well.
Congrats!!! How did you like the program ? I decided to go with Kaplan, since they are more well known as far as online university goes. I start tomorrow. Any advice ?
