   For those of you that have or are taking on-line courses, are there any of them that allow you to get your ADN? Most of the ones I have seen are to get a BSN after you already have your Associate's.

   melessia replied to agent's topic in Male Students

   Thanks for the reply! The problem we're having is that there are no ADN programs in the KC area that offer night classes or even part-time days. They are all-day programs, 8:00-5:00 everyday with full 12-16 hour class loads. He does currently work m...
