Online Lpn-bsn

Published

Hi everyone! I was looking for a online nursing program for Lpn-bsn

Specializes in Adult and Pediatric Vascular Access, Paramedic.

Hi,

You won't find one because you would need to do like two years of clinical and tons of didactic! RN-BSN is online because there are generally no clinicals involved.

I clicked on the first three program links, but only one worked. It stated:

"How many times would I need to come to campus for this program?

While a majority of the program is online, there are a few times you would need to come to campus for this program. To be admitted into the program, you need to take the validation exams. These validation exams are only offered on-campus. It is one and a half days of testing. The validation exams are required for admission into this program. You will also need to come to campus during the first week of your first semester in the program for an orientation session. And finally, you will need to come to campus for clinicals near the end of your program.

Clinical requirements include: Public Health - a clinical and simulation requirement; Obstetrics - a one day labor and deliver clinical requirement; and Adult Health - 1 to 2 days a week for 5 weeks during the second summer of the program. During these times students are required to come to Fargo."

It really doesn't seem worth the trouble, although maybe it is to some people. If you happen to live very close to the area, I could see how it might be an attractive option.

The link might be broken yes, but I just googled the first one at Indiana State University and they still have their program. It offers local clinicals where you are at, and online classes.

I'm not saying that they're the best options but there are LPN-BSN options out there for those that need them.

The Indiana one is the link that worked, but it said you had to travel there 5+ weeks for clinicals. Being able to complete them in your home city would definitely be a better option. I didn't see anything about that.

LPN-BSN track - BSN | College of Health and Human Services

There are some stipulations about which states you can take the course in, however, if you notice it states no campus visits.

When you download the clinical information sheet it says you need to find BSN preceptors for each clinical module.
