RN to BSN big problem or....?

from what i can see and have heard. slippery rock university has a totally online and fully accredited rn-to-bsn program and they don't require a lot of the sciences and advanced maths that many other programs do (except for statistics and it's not a math class statistics it a professional statistics course). this applies, of course if you already have an associates degree and have already taken the required sciences for it (i.e. microbiology, a&p i&ii etc....). i think they give diploma rns 30 transfer credit hours and i think all of your credits transfer from your associates degree.

here's a link to their web-page for more info! i hope this helps!

as far as which is better, i think both have their ups and downs, but to me all nurses rock, lpn, adn, bsn, msn, phd./dnp, all of them rock to me!

I am currently doing my RN-BSN through an online college, Western Govenors University

and I like it,

http://www.wgu.edu

terms are 6 months long and about $3,000 per term so they are affordable

Lovemybugs, how is the WGU program? I am considering it and just wanted an opinion. Time length, doability, and difficulty of classes.

I did University of Wyoming RN-BSN. I finished in 4 semesters (summer to summer) and cost a total of a little over $5k.

I've also heard many good things about this program!

It is very doable, they make sure you understand how the program works before you start, you have a mentor who checks in with you on a weekly basis to make sure you are staying on track and answer any questions.

I am a few classes in and it is mostly case studies where you are writting papers

As for time you go at your own pace and I could be further ahead if I would just buckle down, but I am going at a good pace, their have been other students who posted who stated they finished the program within 5-6 months

Oklahoma Wesleyan University

offers an online RN-to-BSN program that requires no chemistry, statistics, foreign language, or other irritating prerequisites.

I looked at that Oklahoma Wesleyan University and I like the sound of that! No Chemistry!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shoot, I was willing to try and struggle through statistics, which I probably still will do because I want to be either a NP or CNS one day and that requires a Masters degree, which in turn probably will require me to have had at least some exposure to statistics I'm sure. I have never been very good at chemistry, I'm worse at it than I am. Having to take 2 college Chems to get my BSN was always a fear that I didn't want to face but knew I would have to endure. That is until I found SRU (Slipper Rock University) and now your school!I usually like science though, especially biology. Haha!

I'm doing my RN to BSN through Kaplan University...it is totally online but quiet expensive,the school just opened a new nurse practitioner program and after completing my BSN I'm planning to continue with my MSN and hopefully specialize in ANP or FNP.

My husband is currently doing his BSN through Ft. Hays (link provided above by TheCommuter). He's happy with it. He's been doing it for just about a year now, and he will graduate this December. It's super affordable, and 100% online.

Blackhearted nurse, how is Kaplan program going? How many classes are you taking and how much time is it taking? To be completely honest, I am looking for the easiest accredited RN - BSN program I can find. My time is severely limited, and I expect I will only be able to take one or two classes at a time. Thanks for any input!
