struggle with online degree

Published

I have Asso Degree in Nursing from other country, but could not get a job at all.

Local schools won't accept me into their RN-to-BSN program because I already have a BS degree and Master degrees.

Some people told me that some hospitals won't even consider you if you get your nursing degree online, is that true? I know Stanford medical center won't accept any new grad from online school at all, but how about other hospitals?

So are you a RN in this country??? I am not understanding what your asking. Was your Bachelors and Masters in Nursing? If so, I can see that being a problem. Its like your stuck between a rock and a hard place. Call Excelsior College and see if they can work with your situation.

Some hospitals are being picky about education as a way to weed out a surplus of applicants. You should contact hospitals that you are interested in before you apply to find out if you qualify. That way you don't have to waste time or money.

Both my BS and my Master degrees are not in nursing. I am sure that put me in a disadvantage position even though I am a RN in the US.

I checked and checked local schools, I will have to either choose a private school with 1055.oo to 1100.oo per unit and end up with tons of debt or go to online public school. I even tried to take some biology classes to transfer to BSN degree, I was on the waiting list of # 152... The counselor said that I won't be getting in even for next semester. I will be very old when I get out of school.
