nurse online

Hey yall! I was just wondering if anyone knows of any online schools in order to become an Rn or getting a BSN without being an LVN or RN.
Thank you for responding!

Nope, this setup does not exist. There are distance-based LPN-to-RN programs, but nobody can start from scratch to become a nurse totally online. All states have legally mandated clinical practicum hours that entail reporting to healthcare facilities and actually practicing skills on live patients.

In sum, you cannot learn to become a nurse online. You must touch people.

Attending nursing school all online makes about as much sense as attending medical, dental, law, flight school online.

But in any case, there are no all-online pre-licensure nursing schools. ("pre-licensure" meaning nursing school prior to passing the NCLEX-RN exam...so ADN or BSN programs attended by non-nurses, as opposed to RN-to-BSN programs where students are practicing ADN RNs but finishing up the BSN coursework.)
