   Online or On campus?

   travel_murse replied to TnT's topic in LPN-RN

   It is very accelerated for sure - I had 32 credit hours transferred in so it is definitely making it doable for me. If you fail a course (which I know 2 people that have) you just stay in the same term, and take only the course you failed. Worst cas...

   Online or On campus?

   travel_murse replied to TnT's topic in LPN-RN

   I don't know how far you are from Louisville, but Galen has a great program that is hybrid - Most classes are online, even nursing theory courses. They also accepted a lot of my transfer credits, so I only need 51 credits to bridge.

   WGU has a prelicensure to BSN program online. It is accredited in all 50 states, unlike ISU and EC. The only downside is that their clinical sites are in a few select states, (Which you can travel to, to complete.) But if you are willing to travel...
