In preparation for getting a BSN, I am trying to gather information regarding online BSN programs. if you have links to what you feel is an affordable, online, no residency requirement program, please post 'em here.
One program that I came across was at Thomas Edison State College. does anyone have any information regarding their program? I was hoping to find someone that has first hand (or second hand ? ) experience with the TESC RN to BSN program as it seems to be an affordable option, which, of course, is always a bonus. from reading the catalog on their site it appears that you can use some of the EC exams to satisfy the upper-level nursing courses.
The TESC program looks pretty decent but I am looking for some feedback to any online rn to BSN program. if anyone has links to what they feel is an affordable online rn/bsn program please post the link here.
This is a program for RN to BSN or MSN in Australia, University of South Queensland. I researched over twenty online programs in the USA and other countries including England. This is by far the best program. They have the fewest requirements, are fully accredited and they are the cheapest. I just enrolled today. They seem very easy to work with. I know an RN who got her BSN and MSN thru them and she was thrilled with them.
Florida Hospital College of Health Science? Has anyone done there online program? I would love to hear the good/bad info. I am currently looking into several different options and this one seems somewhat affordable. Thanks in advance!

I am currently in their program. There's lots of papers, little tests, and some projects. There are some easy classes like "Concepts", Aging, Health & Wellnes, Statistic (yes, very easy) and some killer classes like Community Health, Research, Patho., Pharm. I noticed after Community Health several students burned out, took a break and are now back. The work full-time/school grind can be tough, but it's doable.
The classes are generally 7.5 weeks long. Not much of a break between classes unless you finish early. But the Xmas break is very nice and long.
So far I've taken 10 classes and am carrying a 4.0. I'm a fairly independent learner and go with the flow. There have been some whiners who aren't happy and complain about every little thing. My experience has been very positive and I recommend it. Feel free to ask specific questions.
Does anybody have experience with Texas Tech RN-BSN program? I'm looking into that program and Wyoming but my problem with Wyoming right now is that they want me to re-take too many classes and with Texas Tech all I'll have to take is two US History classes and the nursing classes. I would appreciate any imput.
I might had that Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences is a Christian college and as such incorporates that a little bit in their philosphy. Not a big deal as the classes are NLN approved. Also there are some co-req classes required that I didn't have like "Lessons in Living" which is study of the Old and New Testiment (almost all Christian schools have this requirement), "World Religions", Western Civilization", "Health and Wellness" and a sociology class "Aging in Society", "Chemistry", "Statistics" so it might be a little longer is one does not have similar courses already that can transfer. But they teach them online as part of their program and the are not "pre-reqs" but "co-reqs" you take along side the nursing courses and the Chemistry does not have lab.

I am enrolled in their RN to BSN program, too. I really enjoy it. It was the only program that had the co-requisite courses online right at their school, and is affordable. I was very impressed with the advisors from the school. Univ. of Phoenix is a good school, too. I just thought their prices were high.
Thank you Tweety and Nicole for your information. I think I have pretty much decided on this program. I especially like it that it is Christian based! I am waiting a return call from them, was told that the FAFSA deadline was July 3rd so am not sure if I will have to wait until the spring semester or not, hope not. About how many times and how long each day are you required to be online? Thanks again, Teri

Hey LTNurse,
I think I remember hearing that Texas Tech has a good solid program. I wish you luck in whatever program you choose and I am sure you will do well wherever you go!

You get to pick a chat time for each class. There are usually different times (5 or so to choose from ), a mix of days, evenings and nights. Then, you log on at that specific one hour period once a week and have "chat" with the instructor and classmates. You get a grade on your participation. You have to check the "student lounge" a couple times a week and submit your papers/assignments a couple times a week. There is a known deadline and you submit them whenever you want by the deadline. The quiz/test has to be taken by a deadline too, all online.
I'm glad you are interested. Don't let the financial aid process tick you off. It's tedious and time consuming. Submit everything ASAP. You only have to submit the info by the deadline, not have your financial aid package done by then.
online, no residency requirement program, please post 'em here.
