online BSN, do the units transfer?

[weavers]

Do the online BSN degree transfer to other schools? like a masters a brick and motar school or another online program.

I am 25 and in an ASN program, and I have one more year to go. I am planning to do a BSN shortly after getting my NCLEX. I need to statistics and chem for a 4 year program. Ideally I would like to avoid taking chem or math. I am not considering a masters, I also want to keep my options open just in case. I wasn't planning on getting a BSN, but I feel in order to be competitive and have job options I would be better off with a BSN.

This is a question that is best answered by inquiring at a specific school whether or not they will accept courses from a specific program.

I was looking at Ohio university for there online BSN. I understand they also have an online masters as well. I feel like I would learn better with a brick and mortar school, but that will cost an extra 5 grand, stress fill clinicals, and I doubt I could work as an RN. If I do online I could work as an RN and get school done. It would also be nice to have some income.

I understand that some online programs don't require clinicals. I want to look further into this. I want decide on a BSN school in the next month or two so I can complete the pre reqs now.

In short, online BSN classes from a state university will most likely transfer anywhere, online BSN classes from for-profit schools such as Phoenix, Chamberlain, Kaplan, Grand Canyon, etc. will likely not.

I am looking more and more at Ohio University for their RN-BSN program.

would the units there transfer to masters at another school or online program? I realize Ohio university offer bsn-masters online.

You need to ask X school you are considering if they will accept credits from Y college. Every school is different and sets their own policies. Most of the for-profit schools credits will not transfer INTO a state college/university. You need to contact Ohio University and ask them NOW if they accepts credits and honor the degree that you will be getting from whatever school you are currently attending. Ask every school that you are even thinking about attending for that BSN that same question. You want to know that ahead of time who will take your credits and who won't. Some schools might only accept a few incoming credits, to complicate things.

Some of the for profit schools do accept INCOMING credits from state universities for whatever that is worth. Again, each school is different. It has a lot to do with what accrediting agency the schools are accredited with. If any school just says "we're accredited" that doesn't mean a thing.

I don't know how you are going to get any BSN without at least one math class. The for-profit school I attend requires statistics for their online BSN program, as well as one general college level math class prior to statistics.
