RN to MSN online programs- please give input

[lvan0904]

Hello everyone! I'm hoping for some advice about online programs. I am interested in becoming an NP (either family or adult- leaning toward family). An online program would best suit my schedule as a FT mom and a FT RN working M-F 8-5. I have an ADN (along w/ RN license) and a BA (psych), and I've been searching for an RN to MSN bridge program that is 100% online, with clinicals offered locally. Am I asking for too much? I was hoping to cut costs and time by entering a bridge program rather than going the RN to BSN to MSN route. Many online programs seem to require the BSN or require time on campus. Any suggestions where to look? Thanks for your time and I appreciate any input!! Happy early V-tine's Day by the way:heartbeat!

There are several programs out there (most are discussed on this site and of course you can Google), but you might have some difficulty in maintaining a 9-5, M-F schedule. Most of the time that is when your clinicals will occur.
