Online RN-BSN programs.

No reputable school can give you a BSN in less than a year unless you already have a lot of college credit beyond your ADN because most ADN programs will leave you with 45-50 credits short of the 120 you need to have a Bachelors. 45-50 is an EXTREMELY fulltime course load to do in 1 year if you go summer semester too.

Actually, you can do it in a year with these 5 week classes. Personally, I think the classes would be OK if you are NOT working full time. The 5 week classes are very fast pased, at least 3 hours of study homework per day. I tried one class, but with working full time and being on call 2 or 3 days a week I just couldn't do it.

Good luck in whatever you decide. And NO managers don't care where you get your BSN.

You might consider relocating to gain experience. In some areas of the country and ADN is just as marketable as a BSN, and you could still do the rn to bsn. Good luck.

Go to the Distant Ed board. There are several people in this program and like it. As far as getting a job, a BSN is no guarantee. Good Luck!

Just make sure the programs are accredited. When I was looking for one, i ran into several who had the right price and right pace but didnt have accredidation.

Chamberlain is kinda expensive, but Ive heard some people say they love the program. Do some research. I was able to find a program that (i hope!) is the right fit for me. I started yesterday.

My local university is so much cheaper than these programs. I am going the RN-BSN program and its gonna cost me $2100. That super cheap.

That is what I would have done, yet I tried all the local colleges through the cal state system and I would not be able to start until Fall of 2011. I think budget problems are causing all these problems with admission. I did my associates through a community college, so I saved plenty of money there. With a online university I can begin like next month.

Thats true, however I hope to make my self stand out among all the other applicants and hope a BSN will help. I can't even get through the initial screening and into a interview.

Also, I am going to start studying to become a certified emergency nurse (CEN). Again, hopefully this will help. It tough here is southern CA.

The above may be the case in most programs, however I do not currently have any degree over an ADN. I graduated in 2007, all 92 of my ADN credits transfered to my choice of a "reputable University", (Graceland) so I only have 28 credits to go for my BSN. It's defiantly doable in a year.

It's because your ADN program was 92 semester credits leaving you with 28 to go A normal full time student does 24-36 hours in a year.

There's a lot of ADN/ASN/AAS programs out there where you end the program with 70-80 semester credits making a 1 year BSN either very hard or sketchy.

When searching for a RN-BSN program I've found that a lot of state schools actually have their programs online. It might be worth looking into.
