Online bachelors degree

[tamz04]

I would like to pursue by bachelors degree but want to do it online.

Do you have any recommendations about online degree programs, I see some require clinical attendance. Any advice and experience would be welcomed and any suggestions of ones that have good reputations.

thanx

Fist question would be whether or not you already have your RN and are just looking for the next step up to the four year degree.

Moving this thread to the Distance Learning Forum that we have here as well.

Thanks Suzanne4. I have read through the RN to BSN thread - very very overwhelming. Dont know where to start.

I am an RN with ADN and want to get my MSN but have to get BSN first. I want to relocate in a year so exclusively online would be my forte. I need affordable.

Some websites dont let you see their programs until you give all your information and some are hard to see if they are accredited. I dont have much time if I want to register for the fall.

tamz, where are you located? St. Petersburg College offers a full RN to BSN program online (no class room required at all). Of course, if you live in FLA, you pay resident fees which are pretty reasonable for an online program.

I myself am planning on doing that when I finish my ADN and then hopefully get into the Rush U NNP program.

*** No you don't. Some schools do not require you to have a BSN to enter grad school for an MSN. Some programs have you earn the BSN on the way to MSN and some schools skip BSN altogether.

check out UTEP (University of Texas @ El Paso) all online and they give RNs CREDIT for algebra, statistics, micro, chemistry, etc. FOR BEING an RN from accredited ADN program. You can print the courses required online and check out cost. VERY friendly and effective website. Know 2 grads and one current student there and they all love it.
