Im sure this board has discussed this several times. I am new to the Board (returning) AND I cant surf any more looking for a board that might answer my question LOL. So I want to ask and sorry If you have all discussed this several times. For you that are in school or planning to return to school are you doing it traditionaly or Online?? Im thinking for doing my RN to BSN online but really want some input from people that have done it or are currently. Any info pros and cons are appreciated!!!

I graduated with my BSN this past December. The program I entered was a weekend BSN program. This progam consist of going to class one weekend a weekend a month. I went to school one Saturday month and the other classes were online. I had submit most assignments online. I loved it. Now I planning on going back for my MSN this January. Im planning on going to Walden only because the school I graduated from dont have an online program for MSN degree. I love online course. I save gas, money, and time. I am discipline to continue an online degree. Good luck.

If you are working full time do you have time to sit in a classroom? Most people did their classroom sitting for their initial nursing degree and want the convenience of online study for the RN to BSN in order to mesh with their jobs and other responsibilities.

BTW, back in my day, online RN to BSN programs did not exist. The RNs in my BSN program were few and far between, because few could get the money to take off from their jobs just to go to school.
