Uta 100% online bsn academic partnership

[marcopolo]

Hi guys!I am considering doing the online bsn program offered through UTA. Im debating on whether or not I should apply for this program or go ahead and try UTMB, UTHSCH, and TWU. The cost of this program is half the price of what I would pay at others. The only problems is I am not sure how much outside help I would get because I wouldn't actually be in class.

Another thing is do you think it would be harder to find a job because it is a "online degree" I think that some employers would look down upon that??

What are your thought about this? Should I go for it? Would it be easier to get in?

My science GPA is a 3.6 and overall 3.5

From research I have done...I think it is the same as a regular degree. My first degree is online--BS in Psychology. I also think it is just the academic part online. The clinicals are done in a hospital. Texas Tech offers a very similar program. It is one year with classes on line. The hands on stuff is done at the local hospitals. If I don't get into UTHSCSA or Texas State SON--I'm going to apply at both of those.

I am 95% sure your degree won't say online BSN. I got my masters 49% online and it just says my degree name without "online." Plus its through UTA = good reputation.

I am also concerned with having 100% online courses. I've done online classes before, but never like this program. It's the one thing that makes me hesitant to go for it. For anyone who's gone through the AP program, what did you think?

I am in the AP BSN program pre-nursing...at least for the pre-nursing part, you do not get as much help as you would on campus. You have to be a good self learner for sure. I don't know about the actual nursing school part and how much help you get there.
