Totally off topic. You managed to find this forum on the internet, I suggest Google become your best friend.

Excelsior College offers a reputable distance based LPN-to-ASN program, and Indiana State University offers a reputable online LPN-to-BSN degree program.

Not to try and convince you not to go that route, but you should look at the Nclex pass rate for these LPN to RN online programs. I've known a few people who opted to do that mainly because of its convenience and later regretted it. Based on my understanding you will be going to NY to do a weekend clinical after you have passed all the theory classes online. I'm also told that the "testers" are quick to fail you if you make the slightest mistake. Also, keep in mind that even if you were one of the lucky few who passed, most "brick and mortar" institutions wont accept any of those credit courses if you do decide to go for your BSN (at least that is how it is in MA).

FYI- I'm told that if you fail the clinical component 3 times, there is no taking it again. You will have to take the entire course all over again. I know it may seem cheaper and convenient, but try to get as much information as possible before you make your choice.
