Hello,
I currently have a Bachelor's degree in Biology and am trying to find an online program in which I can obtain a BSN without already being an RN. I have yet to find an online program that allows you to do clinicals in a local area (I am located in Arkansas). If anyone knows of such a program/school please let me know!

Yes well....you will not be able to find any "online" program for RN entry online. There are required clinical hours that must be fulfilled. You cannot learn to care for patients ...online.

Excelsior is the only one I can think of.

for Excelsior, you have to be an LPN or RN first.
The OP did say s/he wanted a program that allows one to do their clinicals locally, so I think the OP knows you cannot do any program 100% online.
