Online BSC Nursing Degree without RN degree

Published

Hi, are there any online BSC Nursing Degrees other than the bridging programs for RN? I want to get my nursing degree while working full time, so I am looking at a program that will help me do a lot of coursework online and then attend classes for the practical training parts.

I do not have any nursing degree or diploma but have a health related degree from outside North America.

I have tried searching without any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

No. All entry to practice degrees require in person skills lab and clinical rotations. You may find a hybrid program that lets you do the theory and non-lab pre-requisite courses online. But you will never find a reputable, board of nursing approved, accredited entry to practice BSN or ASN that is fully online with no face-to-face clinical & lab.

Many county colleges offer hybrid (sometimes called "on-site/online") associates degree in nursing programs. Try looking for hybrid entry to practice nursing programs instead of online nursing programs. The only online BSN are RN to BSN degree completion programs as you have found.

Are you looking for Canadian nursing programs? My response is referring to U.S. based schools since U.S. has diploma, associates, BSN or DEMSN as entry to practice. Canada is BScN only

You will not find online BSN programs in Canada. You have to attend classes and work hundreds of hours in clinicals. There are no RN-BSN bridges in Canada because BSN is the entry level for RNs.
