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.

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 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!!
