RN to BSN at UL at Layfayette

applesxoranges, BSN, RN · Jul 6, 2014

There's a handful of threads floating around which seemed mostly positive about the program although apparently there are different degree plans that range from I think a year to 18 months but you could ask them to try to condense it.

I wanted to do it but they wanted me to have my RN license before I could even apply so I went with Ohio University since I wanted to have an idea of what it would be like asap. Even though I started OU two months after I was licensed by choice.

I would also talk to them and see if you could do a math class in person at a local community college and if they would accept it.

I think they do require you to have graduated from an NLNAC or ACEN accredited associate program so I would check into that before applying. They're quick with replying to emails.

Hi cburton,

I am currently in my last class for my RN-BSN at ULL. I enjoyed attending the programs nursing classes and it was very doable with me working a full time 40hour job. I took the statistics course and it was really hard tho. At that time it was offered in only a 7week term, now it is offered in either a 7 or 14week term. Witch I feel if I would have gotten the opportunity to take the 14week course I would have done so much better than I did. I recommend ULL!! :yes:

Hi Nursecrystarn, First of all congratulations your in your last class! Thanks so much for responding to my post. I'm pretty sure at this point I want to go to ULL. I do dread the statistic. Did you do statistics with another class? Part of me just wants to try and complete it in 7 weeks but I don't know. Did you have to take any other prerequisites? And if so how we're they?

I'm getting excited to start but nervous. Thanks again. Cburton21

Yes I had to take 6 prerequisite courses altogether. All the other prereqs were ok. I had no problem with any of them. It was only the stats course I that gave m3 a run for my money. The 7 week course was very intense and it took a lot of time. I did take it with another prereq class but that class was actually the easiest prereq class I had to take and still ended up with a C in the course.

I took the statistics class through a community college since it was way cheaper. I had 3 pre reqs to finish along with the nursing classes and I have taken all the pre reqs through a community college.

I'm glad to here that you made it through stats! Did you do algebra as well? If so how was it. Did you also have to do Proctor U where they watch it. I think that is going to make me so nervous! I almost would rather go to a testing center.
