Some states (like CA....) WILL NOT recognize a ADN or BSN from online schools. Be sure you know that you won't be moving to one of those states in the future. I was going to go this route, but then I found out some states wouldn't accept my degree and axed the idea. I would hate for ANY OF US to work so hard to get our degrees then not be able to use it-you'd have to get your ADN/BSN all OVER again in that state. ALso, some states require ADDITIONAL clinical hours too-for example, CO requires 400 ADDITIONAL clinical HOURS!!!! OMG!!!!! Anyway-do your homework. I don't know which way states are going with this. I have heard more are going to accept online degrees and I have heard the opposite that more are going to DECLINE/not accept these degrees.
GOOD LUCK to you either way you go though-keep in mind too that many community colleges have accelerated programs for LPNS and usually have advanced placement. MEaning, you'd get the seat before a NON-LPN ( I am sure some things could interfere with that.)
