Greetings,
I have several degrees including 2 engineering degrees.
Now I'm looking for an ADN in Nursing online if possible.
I'll be taking my A&P I and II, Micro Biology, and Development classes at a local CC in Florida
starting this fall.
However, it's gotten real competitive since this Summer,
and I don't know if I'll make the cutoffs. I WANT TO START PREPARING FOR RN TEST!
Therefore I would like to search my options. Is there anyway to go online
for the 2 year nursing classes in FL, and do my residency classes locally?
In fact, a 4 year may be got in the same time from what I understand, except
the cost may be triple per hour.
Please help me locate someone who could direct my efforts.

I did find this which didn't have an ADN online exactly, but if you look up on a search per classes, they had most all of the ADN classes on line from different schools. Maybe my local CC will sponser some multischool FL agreement - ?

Its not rocket science. Everything is there to do it including the classes, and about 2,000 medical facilities within 10 miles from my home. It would just take a minimum of oversight to make it happen. I'll keep my options open.
I'll be dang if I'm going to pay these ripoff commercial online school prices. They are full of it, pardon my language. But the commercial online schools are woefully overpriced and undervalued from a value engineering perspective. No offense to students and grads. Im just offended I spent time investigating the commercial online schools pipe dream.

The programs on the website you linked are all for BSN completion programs (for those who are already licensed as RNs via an ADN or diploma).
Be careful -- in order to be eligible to write the NCLEX, you have to have completed a program of nursing education approved by your state BON. You can't just cobble together your own custom nursing program from random courses on the 'net. Before you spend any $$$, time, or effort on any sort of "irregular" approach to nursing education, be sure that your plan will result in you being eligible for licensure.
