    A Nursing School Located In Ohio

    Yes, you'll basically be a diploma nurse going into an RN to BSN program though. So, you'll have to complete all the prereq courses just to get into the RN to BSN program. Then once you are in you'll have to complete some sort of bridge course, after which you'll be awarded x number of credit hours for past nursing education. You'll also have to complete all the required general education courses. You are almost always better off going to a community college. The courses almost always transfer from there. So you won't have to take most of the Pre-reqs or many of the Gen Ed courses.

    Most diploma programs include the prerequisite courses for an RN to BSN program. Some RN to BSN programs want statistics, which you might have to take prior to applying. After that, you'll have a liberal arts core, then your nursing classes. Your basic nursing classes and your science classes are what you'll likely receive credit for as an RN.

    To give you a better idea of what RN to BSN program structures look like:

    Jacksonville University's online RN to BSN

    Ohio University's RN to BSN

    Clarion University's Virtual Campus RN to BSN Admissions Information and Curriculum

    I hope this helps you a little. Good luck in finding a program that fits you!

    If your in ohio you may want to think about RIO Grande. There are tons of post and I am a graduate as well. Did the LPN to RN program so I could make sure I got a degree not a diploma

    SShannon, I'm thinking about doing Rio's online program too... I saw the school on the OBN website, but it didn't mention the online program. I'm guessing it's accepted and you don't have trouble getting employment etc. I'm in the Dayton area and am shooting to start in the fall of next year (2011) but am having a hard time finding folks who went there to answer questions. Was it a doable program with working and family responsibilites? If you fail a class can you repeat amount of times?

    Oh, yeah my big question... How were the transition classes? They worry me. As I understand it, you go for five weeks for the nursing sciences classes and then five weeks for psych, etc. I asked about doing classes at my local college and she said I could but I'd have to have a Micro class and two A&P classes. So I'm just concerned that doing the equivalent of a Micro and two A&P classes in only five weeks would be pretty daunting.... I'm worried about it. I'm considering buying a Micro and biology book that my local college uses and studying ahead of time.
