Online BSN

Published

Hi, I already have a B.S. and graduate degree, but am looking to make a career change to nursing. My husband travels a lot as an FNP, so I really need an online-based program, and ideally one that I can do clinicals anywhere, not just in a specific state. Please no comments about the cons of online learning, I am familiar with the method, and at this point cannot commit to staying at a traditional brick-and-mortar school for 2.5 years.

Western Governors won't work for me, as I have to commit to a certain cohort in a specific state (none of which we are moving to! :( )

Thanks in advance for any help. It's appreciated.

What you are asking does not exist. State BONs set requirements that must be included in programs in their state. The individual schools determine how to fit those requirements into their programs. This means that nursing core credits are not transferable to other schools. You can take your prerequisites online at different schools, but not nursing classes. In addition, practically all schools have a minimum number of credits that you must take at their school (around 30 credits) in order to be granted a degree from there.

Agreed. Your program does not exist.
