Hi,

I am a recent nursing graduate looking to start school this upcoming fall for rn to bsn. Some of the schools i am interested in are Chamberlin, thomas edison state university and Wilmington university. I was wondering if anyone can provide insight of the school mentioned or recommend a good rn to bsn program at another school.

 I want to attend a school that is online and fully accredited. One that will not affect my chances of finding a job. Or break my pockets lol.

If anyone has some information about their process experience and recommendations I greatly appreciate it

I know this post is a little old but I attend Wilmington. It is online but there is a clinical portion at then end for capstone. The price is little higher. One 4 credit class is about $1600. Over time it can add up compared to similar programs that have flat rates for 6 mos and unlimited courses.

How is the clinical portion done do they help you find a site? I also saw that there was a video presentation that needs to be done for health assessment. Do you find that the instructors are helpful. I applied and was surprised to see that no one from admissions ever reached out to me. Most universities call you non stop

Im contemplating between wilmington university or chamberlain which is way more expensive. With chamberlain i am eligible for any employee discount.

I see many posts about this topic. Are there not state university programs in most states? Programs that one would not have to do WGO or GCU or Chamberlin? I did my RN-BSN, completely online, through the University of NC system. It was very organized, accredited and well respected (they have traditional 4-year BSN program on campus). The tuition was very inexpensive as I am a NC resident. It was one calendar year and with reimbursement from my health system, cost me very little money. I rented my books. Tuition was, I believe, less than $200 per credit hour-I think closer to $125-$150.

Are there not programs with most state universities in other states?
