RPN to RN

Hello, I am IEN working as RPN in a hospital.

I plan to upgrade to RN but I can't seem to find a program.

I prefer to do it online/distance education.

So, many have suggested Nipissing University.

But, Nipissing will not accept someone who has not completed RPN course in Ontario.

What should I do? Any suggestions.........

TIA

    What is an RPN? Sorry I've never heard that term.

    Reg. Practical Nurse. Ontario is the only province in Canada which uses the term, the rest of us are LPNs.

    The problem basically is OP was assessed by the Ontario College as having an RN education that was only the equivalent of an Canadian PN's education.
