RN to BSN program

Hello everyone! My name is Anna, I have two kids (one who just turned 3) and I'm currently an active RN in WA state. I graduated in 2016 with my ADN and hoping to get my BSN this upcoming year. I am looking for 100% fully online school, accredited and cost effective. I will have to work at the same time, because bills ya know ?, so schoolwork has to be doable or manageable for this mama. No exams or less is better as I won't have a lot of time to study. Any recommendations anyone? Thank y'all in advance!

    Is WGU (western governors university) an option in WA? Reputable, accredited, affordable and manageable

    Definitely capella university! It’s strictly all papers, some PowerPoints, and a couple presentations. No discussion boards tests or exams. They accepted all my coursework I only needed 8 classes. The flex path allows you to finish in 12 weeks!

    Hi Anna, I’m in WA too and looking for a school to complete RN-BSN program. So far, I have applied to St. Martin’s University but that is not fully online. I’m wondering if you’ve decided in which school to go with?

    How generous are they on previous credit earned?

    @shaneybaby, I'm so sorry for the late response. I've finally decided to apply at NMHU just a month ago. They requested for all my transcripts to be transferred. That's taking a little bit of time, but the admission counselor I have been speaking to has been very helpful. Her name is Erica. NMHU is fully online and from what I've heard low costs compare to other schools, accredited and workload is manageable. $325 per credit and only have to take 11 classes I believe. It equals to around 10k for the BSN program to finish, which is soo much cheaper compare to other schools.

    I thought about applying at UWT, but too expensive for me and you still have to attend once a week. GCU is fully online as well, but there's bunch of elective classes you have to take.

    I'm in Tacoma, btw. Where are you located?

    Just curious how your search has been going and if you have made a decision. I am currently attending Capella and I am struggling with the large amount of papers. I never thought I would say this after nursing school but I would rather take a test. Hope all is well.

    I ended up choosing Capella. I start Monday. The ability to complete the program at a fast pace was the selling point. I should be able to complete it for around $6K
