I am interested in furthering my education and have been told that they now offer online RN-BSN degrees? I believe UMASS has such a program. Does anyone have any info about this program?

I am currently in the third semester of this program. They are very flexible. For a full time working mom, it is stressful and a lot to have on my plate, but I'm sure no matter where you go it will be additional stress if you're working. As a mom, I could never do a traditional program. It's almost 100% online, the first two semesters I only had to come to the campus once and they made exceptions for people out of state. I do work online at all hours, usually at night after the babies go to bed. It is very doable for most people. The community portion does have 80 hours of community service built into it, so it is probably a lot more work - I haven't done that portion yet. :( I would strongly recommend going to one of their information sessions. A lot of the nurses I work with have found out about this program; I know at least three personally who are currently enrolled.
