online ADN or BSN programs without previous experience?

Is it possible to do an online program if I want a BSN or an ADN without nursing experience? I have a previous bachelors and masters in an unrelated field. Thanks so much for your help.

I do not believe there is a way to do this. If so, I would have found it. I too have an undergrad and grad degree in a non-nursing field. I decided to go the ADN route, because I could get in without waiting 2 years. When I graduate and pass NCLEX-RN, I will go for an RN-MSN program.

I don't think that is really something that you would want to do, even if you could. You really need to have the classroom time for skills, etc. It is a key part of learning. Anyone who told you different would be doing you a disservice.

yes, you can look into chamberlin. there is plenty of information on them here on this site. delmar college in texas has a distance program , do a internet search for e line delmar and it will pull up. this is for the adn option ;there is a bsn option through i think its texas a & m at corpus as well...

i believe that the distance learning are geared toward lpn, emer first responder, military medic or equilivant

i know many rns with bs, msn who went this route but i don't know of any who entered from an unrelated field

if you find anything post it i am sure there would be a lot of interested people

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh was the only one that does definitely does offer the people with BS degree in something other than nursing to obtain a BSN online. It is called second degree option. Check out the website on the above post.

I had emailed someone from University of Wisconsin and was told that it's for people in the state of Wisconsin and your clinicals must be done in Wisconsin.....

Our on-line program (ADN)at Columbus State Community College is for people with a bachelors degree in anything. You do lectures online and discussions and such,but you have to go in for clinicals and labs and testing.
