Online Nursing programs please?????

Specializes in Cardiac Step-down Unit.

Hello everyone!!

I am trying to save someone from giving up. An online nursing program will be the best fit for her at this point of time in her life. She already has a BS degree in another field and could also do an accel. online nursing program. Any ideas??? I really don't want her to give up.

Please help!! She said she doesn't know if she can do another round of applying.

Thanks for your help!!

I don't know of any online/distance accelerated BSN options for non-nurses. Sorry.

There are no totally online schools for someone with no healthcare experience. The most popular distance program is Excelsior College, http://www.excelsior.edu, but she would have to obtain an LPN license first. If she lives in CA, she can look into WGU, http://www.wgu.edu. Once she has completed all the prerequisites through an AS or BS degree, and at least has a CNA certificate, she can enter the clinical portion of the program. This program is very doable for someone who has the college background. HTH

I have found that excelsior is better for me because of being able to study when I want and test when I want. I can work the program around my life and schedule!

It would be ideal but they are not taking nurses from that school here in GA.
