Looking for online LPN to RN program

Published

I am looking for a on line college to get my LPN to RN complete. I live in Arkansas and I am close to Texas and Lousiana. I would like to stay in a compact state. I have most of my prerequisites but they are over 10 years old. I really don't want to redo them. I have places to do my clinical, I am just looking for an accredited college to complete LPN to RN.

The only online LPN to BSN 'completely online' program is Excelsior. It is expensive and requires you to travel to a high stakes, final clinical practicum site for a weekend of intensive demonstration of clinical skills..

Every other RN program in the country requires you to complete clinicals at a place and time of THEIR choosing. Online content may be part of the program, but there is ALWAYS a clinical component.

The program you are looking for (100% online and clinicals arranged by the student) does not- and should not exist.

Thank you, I am not looking for a 100% on line LPN to RN. I am looking for a school that I can do my studies on line. I understand and expect clinical in a real setting! I would expect no less and would want no less. I just moved by Texarkana and am having a hard time working and finding an online LPN to RN around here.

Your statement "I have places to do my clinicals" indicated that perhaps you thought student-directed clinical were possible. Thus my comment.
