Slippery Rock RN to BSN online program

I looked into the SRU program but in the end, decided to apply to other schools that were a bit less expensive -though Slippery Rock's tuition is actually pretty attractive and much less than most places. I phoned them for info and was reasonably impressed by the responses I got. I eventually narrowed my selection down to UT-Arlington and Ohio, and applied to both. I decided on Ohio because they accepted far more of my previous classwork in transfer than did UT-A, which will allow me to complete the program in just over a year. If I recall correctly, the SRU program would take 2+ years on a part-time basis.

The Slippery Rock program looks good however and unlike many other schools, they are both regionally (Middle States) and nationally (NLNAC) accredited.

Hopefully you'll get a response from someone in the program. Best of luck to you.

I am currently in SRU - I'm only taking one class a semester because my BSN is a long term personal goal - and I want plenty of time for family, work and fun too! Anyway - so far, so good. I have taken 3 classes so far, ready to start 4th. Easy to work with, I have had no problems with the blackboard/distance learning technology. Classes are regular semesters - SRU is a brick and mortar school and they follow that schedule - keep that in mind that in between semesters, it is difficult to get answers because there is no school! Professors so far have been helpful, and available when they said they would be and offered quick feedback. Tuition is pretty good. They only require 13 classes - and the 2 that aren't nursing are still "medically minded" - biomedical ethics and professional/medical statistics. Hope that helps.
