1. Online Accelerated BSN - options

   futura4 replied to futura4's topic in Online Learning

   That's helpful, thanks. There ARE programs that are 100% online. But I haven't found any that work with California.

   There's a program at University of Wisconsin OshKosh, too that's 100% online. There's a list of acceptable states on their website.

3. Online Accelerated BSN - options

   I'm looking for an a-BSN program that is 100% online but require clinical in your hometown. So far I've only found one program that's truly 100% online (University of Wisconsin at Oshgosh) and they don't have an agreement with the state that I live i...

4. Having trouble figuring out a path to RN

   futura4 replied to futura4's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for the detailed reply, @marykated. Fullerton is probably my best shot although it looks pretty competitive. I need to start knocking out the prerequisites this fall if I decide to go through with it. CSULA is very expensive compared to Fuller...

7. ABSN or MSN CNL to be an Nurse Practitioner??

   futura4 replied to charisma00's topic in NP Students

   My understanding from weeks of research on this same topic is that they WANT the DNP to become the standard but because of the nursing shortage, they aren't yet about to enforce it. Your best bet would probably be A-BSN and then work for a year or tw...

   I am in my mid-30s and am thinking about going back to school (gulp) to become a family NP. I have an UG degree in photography/art and a masters in graphic design so now matter which route I choose I'm gonna need at least 25 units of science prerequi...
