I am about to graduate with my ADN and am considering going into school for my BSN in the fall '12 or spring '13. I have looked at several different schools and online programs and am having problems deciding what is the best way to go. Does anybody have any feedback on online programs? Which ones are good and which ones to stay away from?

I am a nursing student that is about to graduate and curious how other nurses feel about the quality of care that is given over a 12 hour shift. I know the shifts are nice because you are essentially working 3 days a week (without picked up shifts) and then you have time to yourself but what happens to the quality of care when you work 3 straight or pick up some shifts throughout the week? I am dog tired after 2 consecutive days and know nurses that do 5-6 days in a seven day stretch so they can have 6-7 days off. By the end of a 5-6 day stretch I think there is a greater chance for error and is that really in our patient's best interest?
