Online LPN to RN Program Recommendations

Was looking into an online LPN to RN program. I thought about Excelsior but they require hands on nursing that is recent and because I do Utilization Review I am not currently doing hands on nursing. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    Thanks! I know I have found some for BSN but gearing more toward ASN at this time. I will check those out though as it's something to think about! :)

    The two big players in online nursing education for LPN-to-RN transition programs are Indiana State Univ (LPN to BSN) and Excelsior College (LPN to ASN).

    Both programs require a face to face clinical practicum component.

    Don't all online programs have a clinical component at some point?

    Yes. (Pre-licensure)
    All pre-licensure online nursing programs entail a clinical component.

    Meanwhile, many post-licensure online programs (e.g., RN-to-BSN, BSN-to-MSN, MSN-to-PhD) do not have any clinical component whatsoever.

    You would have to check applicability and acceptance in your state.

    LPN to RN Online Bridge | Hutchinson Community College - this one requires a background check for Pharmacy tech but not nursing. Hmmmmm.
