That sounds a little harsh. I know I cannot do the whole thing on a computer and I have actually done online schooling before for a different subject and it is much more challenging than being there in person. You do not understand the island living here and how hard it is to do things; it is like a different world. Also the nurses here have done nursing online as its an only option when your 30 miles out to sea and it costs $300.00 just to get off island. So relocating is not really an option specially since my brother is going through a tough battle of Leukemia and I am home taking care of him any time I'm not working. I know I will be doing clinicals and its not on my schedule that is something nurses do here and they help you out with it. I was just asking if you knew of any good schools however I am going to find another source it seems. THanks..

I am confused when looking for online schools. I have no pre requisites and no nursing knowledge....I am starting out fresh and new. I am wanting to get a BSN and just trying to figure out where to start. I have to do online schooling because I live on an island and do clinicals when I travel off. Just trying to find the correct school and program! DID NOT THINK IT WOULD BE THIS DIFFICULT TO FIND! Overwhelmed already!

Thanks! Is there any schools that you would recommend for online?

Thank you! I will try to find my post there. My hospital HR Coordinator told me that hospitals are going to change to only hiring BSN's and any RN's who don't have it are going to do courses to become BSN certified.

Thank you so much for you response! There are definitely so many options for nursing school! My hospital also told me that everyone is looking to higher a (BSN) and if they already work there and the hospital will keep them; then they will pay for the schooling for a BSN. But now they are only hiring BSN's. My problem I feel is that I did go to school after high school but graduated with a diploma and it was specified towards a specific career (Residential Planning - designing small businesses and houses). I do not think I took any of the prerequisites most are requiring so I feel I'm starting from scratch. I wouldn't mind at all doing year round schooling to complete bachelors in 3 years but I cannot find the school that has that option. I only see RN to BSN options for a year and a half but I have no nursing experience yet. This is where I am getting super confused now :-/ I also live on Nantucket Island so there are definitely no schools near me. The island is 30 miles out to sea off of hyannis, cape cod. Thats why I have to look into online schools.

HEllo! This is my first time using this site and I thought it would be the perfect place to help get information! I am just starting and definitely wanting to start a career in nursing. I graduated high school in 2009 and went to an online school for residential planning. I graduated with a diploma but after that my brother got diagnosed with Leukemia. We have had many of my family members have cancer and pass from it but when my brother got diagnosed I felt a whole different feeling! Anyway; thats what gave me the sudden realization of wanting to further my way of helping people and get into the medical career. I currently work at a hospital in Environmental Services department and love to see the patients and make them smile. I know that in 2020 they are going to only start highering nurses with a bachelors degree and living on an island I have to do schooling online and continue to work fulltime. Heres my problem....i dontk now where to start! There are so many different types of nursing. I want to become a BSN (I think thats a bachelors in nursing?) But then found out I need to get an RN before becoming a BSN I believe. I am so lost but looking to begin ASAP and have a quick way through it to start my nursing career. I like the excitement so want to either be in the ER, OR or in LDRP. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHERE TO BEGIN! THANKS SOOO MUCH!
