To by knowledge the only nursing degrees available online are for masters and doctorate.  Simply because you have to do rotations and they have no way of monitoring that. You will have to find your own placement for rotations and most hospitals, etc want you to be with a school that they are associated with (main univ.). If it's accredited by the Dept of Education it's able to be used anywhere. However, most R NOT...I tried to get a degree online..I only had 3 classes left when I found out that my degree I was getting could only be used in Ohio..nobody else took it. So, I wasted a lot of money and time. I would check the schools accreditation and actually ask someone if you can get a job with it.  Ask your local hospitals --where they hire...if they would hire you with an online degree.

That really depends on the college you are looking for.  Different colleges will have different prerequisites, different course structures, and different requirements.  Of course they will all lead to the same eventual end but there are many paths to get there.  \n\nHonestly if you don't know what college to look at AND don't know enough about the different subjects to chose, compare them side by side.  Nursing program for nursing program and see which one explains themselves better.  Try calling the various colleges.  DO NOT tell them you are a prospective student.  They'll send you to the recruiting department and you'll get nothing out of them.  Ask to speak with a professor or a director of the program.  (Normally you can go online and find out their names and titles)\n\nI wish I could give you links but you'll need to find some colleges yourself.\n\nI went to and graduate Oklahoma City University.\nThe have a wonderful nursing program and their business school is one of the best in the country.  (Their technology programs and other healthcare leave a little to be desired.)\n\nTheir website is \n\nhttp://www.okcu.edu/\n\nor \n\nhttp://www.tgimatocu.com/\n\nHope that helps.  Good luck!

Registered nursing actually has 2 different tracks (there may still be 3).  One may become an RN by going to junior or community college for 2 years and then taking the license exam.   Another way is a 4 year BSN that will prepare you not only for patient care, but for nursing management as well.  Many of the nurses I worked with started out the an ASN (2 yr degree) and then went on to the BSN while working as an RN.  \n\nThere may still be some 3 year diploma courses, but those are going away.  Years ago that was the norm and there were many hospital based diploma courses, but of late they have become college based and ASN or BSN degrees. \n\nAnother route is to take an LPN course which takes about a year and then work as an LPN while going on to RN school.  \n\n There is a well established distance learning program leading to the RN credential at Excelsior College in New York (It was called Regents College and you still hear the term Regents degreed nurse).  \n\nCheck with the NLN - the National League for Nursing as it is the program accreditor for Nursing schools.  It will be very hard to get a job or a license if your school is not NLN accredited. \n\nAlso check your state's licensing board to see if they have any special requirements.

I don’t want to break bad news to you but she can’t physically go to get her RN degree without attend a “Bricks and mortar school” unless she holds a LPN or LVN degree. Here she can get into contact with Indiana State University. They have a bridge program that will allow her to get her RN. Otherwise, she is stuck. \n\nHowever, as a nursing professor in a program, I would recommend that she contact her local nursing school program. Here have her find out what relateds (the classes she needs to complete to get either her ADN or BSN such as English classes, math classes, etc.). From here she can take the list because any good faculty member would provide her with a list of these classes. She can then go onto an online program. Make sure that it is accredited by the six accreditation programs recognized by the US Department of Education. Also make sure that the nursing program will recognize these classes. While I think that online classes are a good thing, you have to contend with state boards of nursing. The boards will not recognize online programs except in a few cases. How hard would it be for her to attend a program where you are stationed? Even if it is in one of the US territories there are still programs there. I do wish you best of luck in this career avenue. There is such a shortage of nurses today and it won’t get any better soon. \n\nAlso, please have her talk with her immediate superior. Let her explain to him or her current career aspirations. There might be a way that she could explore training through the navy. I worked at VA system with a naval trained RN and he indicated that he got this through the navy. It can’t hurt. It might be uncomfortable for her to do this as I am not sure of the chain of command in navy. I was in army after I got my RN and I taught LVNs in the army. Many have gone onto get their RNs. Does the navy have such a program?

Spencerian College in Louisville, KY offers an online RN program. Since you already have most of your training, it should be easy for you to complete it. Their number is 502-447-1000. Ask for Nursing Admissions.

I agree with the above - U. of Phoenix but its really important that whatever one you do attend, to check its accreditation.  Go to the website of a normal respectable university find out what accreditation it holds and then call the online university and see if they hold the same one.  Your degree will be more or less useless if you dont have one that is accredited by a respectable university.

If have a good GPA you can apply to University but usually you don't get accepted straight to college of nursing.You'll apply for the Natural Science programme(pre-professional) to have your core or perequisites completed in about 2yrs before you can be admitted based on good standing to professional program (nursing college).However,you may take your core in a college other than university so that you can transfer.Make your intentions clear about transfering to a university so that it doesn't become difficult when transfering.This will save you alot of money.Those yrs will not go wasted because you'll head straight to junior year when admitted to university.\nNB* you may take an associate degree program in any college,it takes 2yrs but that will not get you into university nursing college because requirement for associate degree does not meet bachelor degree requirement.Good luck

I believe Georgetown University in Washington, DC has an excellent nursing program.

Unless you are already a nurse, either an LPN or associate degreed RN - I believe you are out of luck as far as finding a reputable school who will allow you to complete your degree online.\n\nThere are online degrees for LPN's seeking an Associate Degree or a BSN/RN degree.  Also there are RN (Associate Degree) to BSN programs available online.  If you have no nursing degree whatsoever, I know of no program such as you describe.\n\nNOTE: PLEASE read carefully the details on these online programs.  The one listed below is for a Bachelor of Science in Business...it is not an actual Bachelor's degree in Nursing.

How could one learn nursing from a web site?  Don't you have to actually do the work, in person, on patients?  I could see if some of the academic credits were available on line, but not the entire RN program.  I, for one, would not like to be tended by a nurse who had not learned "hands on," as it were.
