RN to BSN

Published

I recently completed Diploma in Nursing from St Francis SON - Mercer County Community College. I enquired about Grand Canyon and Walden the total cost of their RN to BSN is coming to about $20000. Is anyone going to Rutgers from Mercer County Community College? How many credits are counted towards their RN-BSN? How many credits do we have to take? Is there any reasonable RN to BSN program?

Thanks

Is there any reasonable RN to BSN program?
There are multiple reasonable RN to BSN completion programs if you are willing to take the online/distance based pathway.

1. University of Louisiana at Lafayette online RN to BSN: $293/credit

2. University of Texas at Arlington online RN to BSN: $257/credit

3. Fort Hays State University online RN to BSN: $186/credit

4. Grantham University online RN to BSN program: $265/credit

5. Western Governors online RN to BSN: $3250 per 6-month term

6. Ohio University online RN to BSN: $243/credit (in 5 states only)

I am enrolled in one of the aforementioned online programs and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I would not pay $20,000 for an online BSN program when you can accomplish the same mission for half the cost elsewhere.

20,000.00 for a year or two of pure torture... ugh

I am in my RN-BSN and am paying about 700.00 for every 3 credit class, but that is because the hospital I work at gets us a 15% discount! You may want to check into something similar if you work at a hospital.
