Online BSN

Tweety, BSN, RN · Mar 13, 2007

Are you talking about people who already have their RN via an Associate Degree or Diploma? If so there is a good thread here: https://allnurses.com/forums/f125/rn-bsn-online-105380.html

I'm finishing up this may after taking one course at a time, accellerated to 7.5 weeks per course, so two classes a semester. It will take me 2.5 years. I had some co-req courses to take like Chemistry, Statistics, Western Civ., and two religious courses, thus it's taken me longer than the average person.

It's been such a positive experience, I'm sticking with the online format to get a Masters....I think.

Total price was about 12,000. I borrowed 7,000 and used the rest out of pocket and tuition reimbursement where I work.

Good luck in whatever you do.

I did RN to BSN online through the University of Wyoming. It took me 4 semesters (Spring-Summer-Fall-Spring). Total cost was probably around $5000. They have changed their requirements since I graduated, though, and tuition has increased some, so it might be a bit more than that now.

I researched the wyoming school and I think they require you to have a lot of prereqs like pathophysiology did you do those prereqs before or during the wyoming program Nursing

University of Wyoming seems to be a good choice. Indeed, I've already talked to their nursing coordinator and currenly taking some prep classes here at CC. Once I'm done with my RN, I sure will go to them. Even though the price has changed since you graduated, still it's cheaper than anywhere else.

I took pathophysiology and pharmacology during the program and I took the required US/WY Constitutions course. I also took one upper-division elective so I would have enough credits through the school to meet the 30 upper-division hours residency requirement for graduation -- they did not have the "senior residency" course requirement for RN-to-BSN students at that time - the addition of that requirement gives enough upper division hours through the major (including Patho and Pharm) to meet the 30-hour requirement. Those were the only non-nursing courses I took.

I have applied to UofWyom. for BSN very recently-I see that they are CCNE approved, does anyone know if this is a regional accreditation, or equal to a NLN accreditation? atMy goal is MSN/FNP-I guess I want to know what is the best accreditation.
