Does your school offer traditional degrees (i.e. classroom)?? If so, then your degree will usually not indicate that you took it online. There can be some "hesitation" to online degrees especially those that come from colleges that might not be accredited.

I'm attending an online RN to BSN program that is accredited by the NLN. When I apply for jobs I'll put on the application that I have my BSN from this school. No need to mention I got it 100% online.

If I choose, I can walk the aisle in a cap and gown with the traditional students at graduation. My degree with be recognized the same as theirs.

I would only attend an RN to BSN program that was accredited by the NLN. Those degrees, online or not, are readily accepted by Masters programs. I'm not sure many employers are going to check the creditials of the school.
