I am not aware of the U of Phoenix program. The U of Illinois Chicago has an all online post baccalaureate school nurse certificate program. The 3 courses are at the 500 graduate level. It is 10 credits total, $635 per credit, in state or out of state. The cut off date for Fall admission is July 15th.

The website says you have to be on campus for the first and last day, but that is only required if you are needing the State of Illinois ISBE School Service personnel certificate.
A BSN is not needed, but a public health nursing class and a health assessment class are preequisites. For ADNs, there is an all online RN - BSN program - it takes 1 year full time, 2 years part time: http://www.uic.edu/nursing/programs/bsn-about.shtml
There was supposed to be another all online school nurse certificate program in NJ, but I did not hear if it started yet. The U of NM has a program, but no classes are being offered for Fall 2007, and they were not sure when they would be offered again. For more information email Dr. Jackie Ryberg, [email protected]

Does anyone have any information regarding The University of Phoenix's School Nurse Certificate Program? Is this a post BSN program? Costs? Thanks in advance for any information!
