Can you try a LVN to RN (associates degree) program. Then you can go on to get your BSN.

Lamar University, University of Louisiana Lafayette- - there are several. University of Louisiana at Lafayette| RN to BSN Online Degree Lamar University Online | Degree Programs | Bachelor, Master, Certificate Preparation

Congratulations! !

A few students I know used the $20 ati app for their phones. They passed.

Just because ISU says that they are recognized does not make this a fact. ISU is not listed on Texas BON website as an approved school for LVN-BSNs. ISU has a track record of not being truthful with students (just ask the ISU California student) there are several threads about this on site. I would suggest any LVN looking into the program contact the BON first.

My husband just finished Lamar. They are having issues with NCLEX scores so they may not be taking any new students. Lamar has a lot of problems. I have had to listen to my husband complain about this program for the past 15 months. They are changing the format and extending many of the classes. Therefore, you won't finish in 15 months anymore. If you can I would suggest looking for another program. Regarding, Allegeny College are they an approved BON school? I googled the name and nothing comes up.

Kindred Hospital hires LVNs, which is a LTAC hospital. Typically you need one of experience for them.

Most RN-BSN programs are paper/assignment driven. No tests.

Have you checked other Cal States for online programs? I think Chico has an online RN to BSN program.

OP this is off topic, but just in case things don't work out with UTA. Texas Tech has an accelerated 2nd BSN program, too.

No you don't have to be in TX for Lamar, but there are some exceptions. The following is from their website. Lamar University has approval or has confirmed that Lamar University has been granted an exemption to offer online degree programs with the exception of the following states: Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. http://dept.lamar.edu/nursing/rntobsn.html

Here's a thread on NLNAC accreditation that may give you some insight. I think NLNAC is fine, I don't think you need regional accreditation.

I don't know if it requires math but Indiana State University has an LPN to BSN program.

If ISU is an approved program, then why isn't listed on the BON under approved programs?

I've never seen a RN-BSN program that didn't require Micro. In Texas there are several schools that don't require chemistry. You might want to try UT Arlington. I think they require Micro but they offer it online.
