School closed any Online options?

Published

Hello nurses and future nurses,

I am in an unfortunate and desperate situation. Over the past two years I have been in two nursing programs in Massachusetts and both have lost there approval status from the board. I have some local options I am applying to but I was wondering if anyone had advice on any fully online ADN or BSN programs. It seems that most require a previous license. I have none. Any and all suggestions would be welcomed. I am also willing to up and move to any state to finish my nursing journey. Thanks for your help.

You will not find a legitimate online only program prelicensure. The majority of online programs are for those who have completed a diploma or ADN program and are continuing their education to complete a BSN. It's simply impossible for an entry to practice program to be online- at a minimum, the clinicals will need to be done in person. There are a few hybrid programs that do have that option. However, you would be best served by utilizing the approved list of programs from MA and ensuring that you are applying only to those who are fully approved, not those who are on probation.

Yeah there are some good options here in Massachusetts. My current program was doing well its surprising they revoked its license. I think this time around it has to do with some administrative drama instead of failing scores like my last program. Still a shock. Thanks for the feedback.

So sorry to hear that you're going through this after all the time you've already spent trying to finish. I would do a cc program or go into a bsn as an advanced student if you can. If you can get credit for some of the classes you've done, you may be able to finish in no time.

Ouch. Did you go from Quincy to Roxbury?

I'm in the Bunker Hill program. It isn't terrible and they're no longer on warning.

Thanks for the suggestion that might be an option. It just means moving to Florida, Indiana, Utah, Texas or cali. I'm considering it though.
