Online RN to BSN School????????????

Published

OK So i've read a lot of these posts (There's a lot!!!!!) I'm overwhelmed! Also not all of my questions have been answered and I'm so confused! I got my ADN in Farmington NM in May of 08. I want to get my BSN so that if I choose to, I can go back go school and get my masters in Occupational Therapy (There is a two year program here that as long as you have a BSN, you can get your masters.) I live in El Paso TX. I don't want to go to tx tech or utep because they require two history classes and two political classes that wasn't required for NM. That's four classes I don't need to take. I have taken statistics, all of the maths possible, A&P micro ect but not patho, Sociology, 3 diffrent psychologies, nutrition and everything required for nursing. I am willing to take like one or two more basics, but that's it! TX classes I will have to take 4. So, I am looking for an online program to give me my bsn. I don't want a lot of clinical. I don't want a lot of group projects, and I don't want a lot of tests. I started a new job working for the state of TX (El Paso Psych Hospital) and I don't need too much more stress but I want to graduate by May of 2012 at the latest (My atypical autistic bother graduates from high school then). South and Chamberland seem to have that but they are expensive.I've tried University of NM but their online programs had no support and the teachers were not supportive of working RNs. What do you guys suggest?

(Sorry for the typos I'm a little busy today. Oh and please type out the name of the college if you choose to help me out because I get confused with all of the abbreviations.)

Since you already have your RN license, there's no need to worry if your home state will accept the Excelsior in order to allow you to sit for NCLEX. I'm unsure if you're required to do the CPNE for the RN-BSN program. They don't have clinicals but the CPNE is closely related to it. Their program is pretty intense from what I've heard. Maybe that can be an option for you. Good Luck

Good luck finding a program... Degrees are earned, not given.

I am going back for my RN/BSN but check out Thomas Edison University. They have an online MSN. You probably have most of the classes you need and they are very affordable.

FYI..............No CPNE (or any traditional clinicals) for RN (ADN) to BSN for Excelsior College.

That's where I plan to go...and I've done so much research, I don't even wanna go to school any more..lol

Seriously though, They have the least amount of prereqs so far. You could probably be done in 2 semesters easily.

God Bless

university of phoenix, although pricey has very few tests. There are group projects and some papers for each class but rare testing. Each class is only 5 weeks so it moves fast
