lpn to RN online, whats the material format like? looking up questions all day?

Published

I may have to get lpn to Rn online,, but what is the study material and method like? do they just send you notes to study or do you have to look up tons of questions scattered in random order in a book? What is the method of study actually like? Not really asking if the material is hard itself, just wondering how you go about doing the program and how long you study a day..

Specializes in Neuro, Telemetry.

How do you get an LPN to RN without clinicals? Or does this online program provide clinical rotations and just the lecture portion is online. Every state BON has regulations on how many clinical hours are required to qualify for RN licensure. As for course material, I havent taken any nursing course online, but have taken quite a few online courses. Usually the instructor posts weekly "lectures" which most of the time or written. They also assign weekly reading and online assignements to be completed and submitted online. You will not be sent on a wild goose chase for info and homework. It should be very structured. If its not structured then drop out and run for the hills.

I would suggest asking this same question under the Distance Learning section under the Colleges tab for better response :)

At Excelsior, you go to either Atlanta, NY, and I forgot the other state, and you do clinical for the weekend.
