RN-BSN online how long is your program?

I've been looking at some local colleges that offer them online and it looks like it takes 2 years!!! I could have sworn it was only one year but perhaps I'm wrong? How long is your program suppose to take if you do full-time?

I wanted to hop right into my MSN but if I can save some money by doing my BSN first, I'd be much happier!

My on-line RN-BSN program consists of 8 classes. If done full-time (as I'm doing), it'll take 2 semesters. The program should take me around 7 months to complete.

my program is 9 classes. It takes 3 semesters if taken full time

I completed my BSN in one year. Cheaper, no. There are many different options out there. With a little research (alot of it has been done for you on this forum) you should find a program that works for you. Good luck!

I agree. I know I would probably pay alot less if I went to a state school to get my BSN, but then I would need alot more gen ed classes (my current school doesn't require any), and it would take me around 2 years to graduate. Since I have the time now, I figure I'd rather go full-time now and pay as much out of pocket as I can. Even if I have to take out a small student loan, I've figured I can pay it off quickly after graduating (I try to avoid loans).

Can you guys name the schools you are attending.

What program are you enrolled in, if you don't mind saying...?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the help!

I know stressgal did Chamberlain's RN-BSN -- I'm doing it, too. It's going to take me a little more time because I'm not going to take out a loan, but I'm really enjoying it so far!

My program is 2 years (if I go full time, which I'm not) and I still have 5 classes to take at the CC as prereqs. It's at a university in my state, but totally online. I'm paying for it totally with tuition reimbursement.

If I decide to continue on with my NP or CNS I will attend the same school.

I attend TWU- Houston for my RN-BSN. It will take 3 semesters full time and 4 or 5 semesters if you do part time. I am currently doing part time. I hope this helps.

Thanks, Lunah and BlessedRose, for the info!

my program could be finished in 3 semesters if done full time-- this is at a public university online.

Now, I am doing it part time, so it will probably take me 2 years.
