RN to BSN Online - schools?

Published

I'm thinking ahead and wondering where is a list of accredited of RN to BSN online (or distance if that is what they call it) programs can be found? I do a Google search and come up with pages of advertisements instead. Thanks!

yes you have to go for a one day orientation then you do not have to return unless you want to walk across the stage for graduation.

no there was gn's at orientation now their admission was conditioned on passing the nclex but still. i did not have a year experience as a rn when i applied however, i did when i started the program.

Hey Txs, did you take Excelsior's A&P and did they accept it ? And is there a time limit on pre-req's ? Thanks.

i had a previous bachelors and associates when i went to ec and texas tech. my sciences had the lab portion to it so i cannot tell you if the science will will transfer or not. however, i am sure since ec is accredited it will transfer. i know this when i was admitted to the program they made a mistake on my chemistry and thought it was from ec and did not contain a lab component. they called me and ask me to fill out a 1 hour lab component waiver to be able to continue in the program. i had to correct the problem cause my chem was a 4 hour class. so i got the impression that they would accept sciences from ec. i'm not sure about the time limits on the sciences i can tell you that mine are about 6-7 years old. i really don't think so but i could be wrong on that. i think this information is listed in the faq's on the website. it was a fairly easy admission process not anything like first getting admitted to a rn program...whoo what a mess....

Not a college -- just a publishing company.
