Is there anyone currently enrolled in the RN-BSN program at Kennesaw State? How is the program? Are there a lot of papers to write? Can Pathophysiology, Pharmacology and Health Assessment, Chem 1151, and Chem 1152 be completed online? I know that I would have to come to campus for the lab components.

I went to KSU for my first degree and I don't think you can take Chem 1151 and 1152 online because of the labs. I'm not sure about the other classes though. Hopefully someone on here will have been through the program. I'd like to know more about it myself. Good luck!

I am graduating next week from the traditional BSN program, but there are some classes that the traditional and RN-BSN students are combined together. You can take Pharm online, but I don't think any of the others you asked about are offered online (at least according to the course catalog that is currently online). Even if they are offered online, most people say that the online courses are an insane amount of work! Lots and lots of writing.....
For Patho and Health Assessment, two of my favorite professors of all time teach those classes---****for HA and ***** for Patho. I loved going to their lectures--never missed one for either class!
Some of the classes that are offered online for the bridge program are Perspectives, Research, and Leadership. Once again, more work, in my opinion, from what I hear....
As far as papers, there is usually a paper required for each class except Leadership. The Community paper is the worst!! 15-20 pages of a "family assessment". Excrutiating! There is also a project in that class that is pretty labor intensive, so I would suggest not overloading yourself too much during that semester.
Well, that is about all I can think of. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.

I just graduated from the the KSU program :grad:. It was a very long process! Regarding your questions, the only class you mentioned that can be taken online is pharmacology, and that's if you're an accelerated student. I do believe you could take all of them except for Health Assessment at another school before starting though, and that would be REALLY helpful, especially if another school offered it online.
