Looking for RN to BSN Program w/certain criteria

[rnfostermom]

Hello,

I am looking for an RN to BSN program that meets the following criteria:

1. Completely on line

2. ***Does NOT require College Algebra

3. Does have a clinical

4. Cheap.

These are ranked in order of importance (to me).

***Seems like many of the programs require college algebra. I HATE math with a flaming passion and don't want to do any more math coursework once I finish my statistics class (that I'm currently enrolled in).

Can anyone make any suggestions?

Thanks to all who respond.

I can't speak for all programs, but Algebra is required for any BS degree in our state universities - no exceptions. Even the BS in Fashion & textiles at TWU requires it. Aside from that, one of the factors that differentiates a BSN from ADN is the ability to understand, participate in and apply research (AKA evidence-based practice). This requires a basic understanding of statistical analysis, which requires Algebra.

You did finish reading her post to the end? You know, the part where it says she's enrolled in a statistics class?

In all honesty, college algebra is overrated. I took it back in high school as a sophomore. I thought most ADN programs require it but apparently they don't. Ours now requires statistics and college algebra is a requirement.

You do realize that a lot of associate degree schools are incorporating research into their programs? I think it is one of the requirements for NLNAC (I forget their new name) accreditation.

The true difference between an ADN and a BSN where I live? The BSN paid about 30,000-70,000 more for a bachelors degree instead of going the ADN route and then doing an RN to BSN program.

I am personally for streamlining college to help reduce costs.

I don't know of any ADN or BSN that does not require college algebra. I have to take it before my program starts in August. I looked believe me because I am not really a math person. I have to do it online this summer and am not real excited about it. I'm in intermediate algebra now and talked to my advisor about statistics but she said pretty much all BSN programs are requiring college algebra now.
