Online RN-BSN

Thank You.......That is approx how many credits I will have to get.....Any Clinicals?

So you would definetly say it was a good experience.......

I did my BSN in 2 semesters (30 credits) from Ferris State University in Michigan. I had a previous bachelors though, so I'm not sure how that affects required credits. I liked it because my advisor was extremely flexible. I didn't really learn anything useful, but for the most part that seems to be the standard for BSN programs. Lots of papers, group work and other busy/task work like discussion boards.

Check out University of Louisiana at Lafayette Online RN to BSN. They have 7 week nursing courses and not a lot of fluff courses to take. I'm currently enrolled in that program and love it. Good luck.

I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette through the online RN-BSN program in December. I already had a BA, so the core courses were not a problem for me. I actually learned a lot from their courses and they were very good about keeping in touch with their students. You might want to take a look at that school. Best wishes!

What core courses did you have to have? How long is the program? And one last question when do they start?... Spring, Fall ?

HI! I ended up going with WGU, but considered Univ. of Louisiana too---I really liked that school a lot! Tech friendly!

Like Medic2RN, I had a previous BA so at WGU I just needed BSN courses. Did it in 6 months, including practicum, and cost $3200.

They have start dates throughout the year. Check out their website for all the information. RN to BSN Online Degree | UL Lafayette Online.

Upcoming start dates for 2016: August 22nd (must apply by July 25th), October 17th ( must apply by September 19th).

Most, if not all, of the core classes you would already have done during your Associates degree. I was only missing a few core classes. I am currently taking the core classes I need at a college in my hometown.

How long their program takes depends on how if you double up on courses or not, and how many core classes you need. I doubled up in the first, second, and third "semesters". I have three more classes to take, but I will take them separately because they are too "heavy" to take together. The capstone will be my third course and that one cannot be taken with any other course anyway.
