SRMC to Richard Bland Associate online

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

I am going to take all prereqs for the SRMC program at my local community college and finish with the nursing and clinicals through SRMC online. Apparently Richard Bland college has a partnership with SRMC and will offer an associate degree at their college with the completion of the SRMC online program plus an addtional math history and philosophy class.

I am worried that I will go through this college and have the same issues as nurses have found with excelser and not being able to work in certain states because of it being online. Am i worried over nothing? Slight confused over here. If I finish and get my license can it be taken away years down the road if PA stops allowing SRMC to graduate its nurses? Thank you for you help!

Vie the concerns of PSNA's Cabinet on Practice and Professional Development :

I read the concerns a while ago, and decided to wait because I didn't want to take a risk then. A few years later the program is still around and at this point I'm ready to apply. I like that they have teamed up with richard bland college for the AS. Richard Bland is accredited and is affiliated with William&Mary college in virginia so I feel secure in that. I feel like I need this stepping stone to get to where I'm trying to go. What happens after I'm done with the program, I could care less. Right now I could really use a little flexibility in a program. Ultimately, I am going to have to prove myself and I am also considering Univ of Wisconsin Oshkosh BSN program which is also a distance program. I know its going to be difficult either way but I'm not looking for easy anyway. Keep me updated on what you decide to do and good luck.
