Question about Online Education

Published

Specializes in Hospice.

I have an Associate Degree and work full time. I would like to get my BSN since it seems that I will not be able to advance at my job without one. Has anyone actually completed an online RN to BSN progam. If so, can you give me some pointers and direct me?

Thanks

Moved to the Distance Learning forum for more feedback.

While I haven't completed any online degrees, I do know that WGU (Western Governors University) offers a very affordable online BSN education.

Thanks, they are one of the ones who has contacted me. Really I guess what I am searching for is if these online degees are even worth anything. How do I know that these are worth it?

The online nursing degree at WGU is regionally accredited.

In addition, all of my coworkers who earned online degrees have been able to advance in their careers. Therefore, the online degree must be worth it if these people are having new opportunities open up to them that weren't there before.

Good luck to you!

The online degrees are absolutely worth something. Texas Tech has an online RN-BSN degree program. They are accredited by SACS. Many times, your employer will pay for your tuition. Good luck!
