Online RN to BSN program with the most clinical time?

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

So I'd like to go overseas one day with my BSN, however many US nursing schools don't offer enough clinical time to qualify (I believe the average clinical time in a US BSN course is around 800 clinical hours).

Anyway, I just have my ADN (RN) now and would like to know if anybody knows about any RN to BSN programs which have a lot of clinical hours for their requirement (I know this is probably the opposite of the typical question).

Thanks for the help, happy holidays!

I would think your actual work time is more important than School clinical time.

I do to, in practice, however some countries list clinical requirements for foreign nursing programs to meet eligibility (for example, New Zealand requires something like 1200 clinical hours).

I have a fair bit of experience working already as an RN but not sure if that will help if my program(s) didn't meet the initial requirements.

Specializes in ER.

I don't actually know of any programs that offer an RN to BSN with clinical time. Some have a "capstone" program.

There were a few that I recall. but it wasn't much time at all. I recall one where you went to Mexico for 2 or 3 weeks, then wrote a paper on the experience, but not a whole lot of clinical hrs
