Let's have a role call. All online RN to BSN students and former students (or those about to start) let us know where you're going, where you are in the program, and how you like it.
I'm in Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences. I just started in January and am in my fourth course "Methods of Nursing Research". I've found the support and the grading to be quite generous. But a lot of hard work!
i have been looking into the which school ques a lot lately, uw is around 124/credit, but for me they have a lot of extra classes i would have to take. slippery rock is 186, only 2 extra classes for me, and fort hays is 130 with 3 extra classes to take. i know that it is all individual, and we all have different backgrounds so that makes it very different as to what we have to take extra. the things i like about uw is that there are no power point presentations, and no group projects, got this info from another person who went there on this site.
good luck with your decision and if u find any other great info please drop a line!
I'm not sure if I will have to take any extra classes or not at this point, but that woud make a difference. I have a bachelors of science in chemistry, so I'm sorta banking on not having any extra classes to take. Although I do have to admit, for the excelsior ADN program, I do have to take Information Literacy as well as Human Growth and Development. Go figure.
i have been going to each website to look at what their req are to figure out what i need to have other than nursing classes. i just finished ec and didn't have to take anything extra for them from what i already had-like u said, go figure!
I'm hoping to begin at Indiana Wesleyan University next month (Aug. '05). Having some trouble getting transcripts from a former university I attended for my BS in occupational education, so I'm not certain yet what will happen!
I really liked this program because the tuition, books, fees are all combined in one price (no hidden costs!), and no chemistry or statistics is required (woo hoo! )! Also, the program has 14 classes designed to be completed in 20 months. Not too bad... :)
From what I can tell, I'll have one additional class to take as well as the nursing classes since this is a Christian school and I haven't previously had a Biblical literature class.
Best of luck to all as they begin/continue/complete their courses!
I did the University of Phoenix online ADN to BSN (finished May 04), then did the online MSN program (finished June 05) and am now doing a traditional clinical nurse specialist. Personally, I found that the online program required more discipline because it was very easy to let things slide. I ended up getting up two hours early each day and doing homework then and that worked well for me. Good luck...its doable.

I am a diploma nurse and I am thinking of using phoenix to get my bsn them masters because I would like to teach later on. I haven't checked so I don't know if I can afford it right new. Did you have clinicals at the hospital you work at? Not sure how it works.

I started at IWU in February and I love it for all of the reasons that you stated. Also, no tests only essays, presentations and papers!

I think I have posted this before, but does anyone knw if it is possible to transfer out of UoP once you have begun? $1243 a class plus $70 resource plus books per class is just a little to pricey for me. I will call around, but know from experience I get my best info here on these boards!

Patrick who posts here occasionally wanted to switch from UoP to Florida Hospital and they didn't take all of his credits from UoP. I'm not sure what the problem is, if it were the courses themselves or of they have a problem with UoP.
i am prob going to start my rn-bsn thru u of p in aug. have also been in the study mode for so long, so i figured that i might as well keep it up! just finished assoc thru excelsior, waiting to take nclex-then i can enroll. hope school is going well for u.
Did you start your UOP classes? If so, how's it going?
