RN-BSN online???

Published

I have a quick question to ask you, have any of you ever done a RN-BSN online program??? I am new to this and I will begin taking my pre-reqs for the RN program at the local community college in northern virgina. My advisor has asked me if I plan on getting my BSN eventually and to be honest I plan on pursing it as soon as I graduate and get my associates degree. I had no luck with getting into a 4-year nursing program, not even to start taking pre-reqs and I have a 3.9 GPA so I thought maybe I could try a RN-BSN online program but I wasn't sure if any of them were really that good? If you know of any please please let me know. I would so appreciate your advice and any comments you may have are also appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I did VCU's RN to BSN program, graduated in 2000. It was a fairly new program back then and required going to an off-campus site (based on where you live) one weekend a month for actual classes and then email discussion group participation and online submission of classwork/projects. The program may be more "online" now. It was a good program back then...very "do-able" even working full-time. If you have'nt looked at their program, I would suggest doing so.

You may want to try Regent's College. I believe they are based in New York. I've heard they are good and reputable, but a bit expensive.

Specializes in OR, MS, Neuro, UC.

Your GPA is quite adequate for all of the programs. Check the distance learning link in forums, people are doing alot of different programs online!

I did my RN to BSN online with University of Phoenix - great experience.

Specializes in Nursing Professional Development.

Old Dominion University as an online RN-BSN program.

I was looking into this myself. I have been told to make sure the on-line program is ACCREDITED and APPROVED by the VA. BON.

Good luck!!
