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.

hi guys!
i wanted to post a comparison chart that one of the other helpful forum buddies had posted a while back. also- a good site to review potential schools is: http://www.allnursingschools.com/

The University of Maryland has an online RN-BSN program. I'm in the RN-MS program and I live in MD, but I've been taking online classes so far, and have had several classmates from out of state. The website is nursing.umaryland.edu.
Part-time fees starting Fall 2005 are $301 per credit for instate residents, and $461 per credit out of state. In addition, both have a $10 per credit fee, and a $234.50 flat fee per semester. Compared to some of the programs already mentioned, I'm not sure how affordable this program is :)
Just curious. Would you consider Canadian universities? The University of British Columbia, Vancouver is ranked very highly academically and has an excellent Post RN- BSN programme. Cost is approx. 140.00 CAD per credit with each course valued at 3 credits and certain electives in community health and proposed self study research earning 6 credits. The site is University of British Columbia.http://www.ubc.ca/
Exams depend on the subject and invigilators can be arranged at local university/colleges. Good luck,
First I was an LPN, then did the bridge program through a community college so now i have an ADN. I got admitted into GMU RN-BSN but i have been thinking of doing it online instead. I have narrowed down my online choices to University if Wyoming and Ft.Hays.state University mostly because of the price, however I really want something which I can finish in 12-18mos so I can go for my MSN.I have almost all general education classes except statistics I think.Are there any people out there in any of the aforementioned programs any input will be greatly appreciated. Am looking to start this fall too I know its kinda late. Thanks
hey lovenursing, i am in univ of wyo program now, almost finished. if you have all you prereqs you could prob do it in 18 months of more than full time work...i did it full time for a while and it was a lot of busy work! good luck, i also chose it as one of the factors being money, 113 credit is awesome!
online, no residency requirement program, please post 'em here.
Tuition is a bit outdated, though -- it's a year old.
