LPN to RN

I've noticed a lot of people on here talking about being an LPN and going for their RN online. How hard is that? Do many hospitals/doctors/facilities accept people who earn their degree online as opposed to physically going to school? What are the differences, advantages, disadvantages of doing your degree online as opposed to enrolling in school? (aside from the waiting list lol)

Thanks for everyone's help!! :p

I think it's more of a cost matter. I'm a LPN for one year now and I've been looking into going back to school since I graduated. Seems like online is more expensive and you have to be super disaplined to make it through. You wouldn't wanna slack and waste your time and money. But, on the other hand, when you are in nursing school you pretty much have no life anyways so it would probably be hard to work full time and study anyways.

I know Rue Education has some good online options for the LPN to RN. You can take one class at a time and you can take and finish them at your own pace. When you finish the book and the workbook that goes along with it, you go to person vue (same place as where you take your boards) and test outta the class. Passing is in the 70's. Not a bad idea if you have the cash. All that really matters is if you pass the NCLEX. If you know how to study. U should be fine online. That's how I see it anyways.
