Actually, there are! You have to type in Nursing schools:on-line!!! There are many that will on offer an LPN to go to an RN, but there are many that will take you from being a novice to being able to get your RN degree on-line! You will still have to do your clinicals in hospitals, nursing homes, surgery centers, etc. It can be very exp. but there are many on-line grants also. The counselor will help you from whatever school you enroll in!

Yes, there are some very good online colleges.  I am in the military and stationed overseas.  A lot of military members are completing their educations this way.\n\nYour degree will be recognized and you can use financial aid!\n\nI received my Bachelors Degree in 2004 this way.\n\nHere are a few Colleges I would recommend that offer online courses:\n\nUniversity of Maryland University College / Bowie State University\n\nUniversity of Oklahoma\n\nUniversity of Phoenix\n\nBest of luck on your pursuit of higher education!

Don't give up, college is there to educate you and they will do whatever they can to help you succeed.  There will be tutoring, and they even offer it free.  All nursing schools are competitive, but even if you can't get in right away, you can take classes that will go towards your degree while you are waiting to get in.  Another idea is to go the LPN route which is a bit easier, and after you have your LPN, you can always go back for your RN.  Best of luck to you and whatever you do, do NOT give up!!!

go to any local college that offers a CNA or LTC course and they should have books you can buy along with any other material you might need.

Do you want to become an LPN? There are no online degree programs in the US that will let you become an LPN "from scratch" online. There's too much hands-on information you have to have. You can do most, if not all of your Gen Ed portion online or by testing out with CLEP or DSST exams.  If you are already licensed as an LPN, Excelsior College has the only LPN to RN program available online. You do have to go to a location for the clinical testing, but they have several locations in the US and it only takes a weekend.

You can obtain schooling through many schools. some probably in your area, however, to become licensed as an RN or NP, you still need to do clinicals. They will take time. I am not sure how many hours it is because i did my schooling the conventional way, but you can do most of the class time online. However, you say that you are unable to attend school, so I am not sure how you will attend clinicals.

The best one that I know of is Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada.  It has been offering programs by distance for over 30 years, so it is well recognized and well established.  Here is their site.

Many community colleges, trade schools and universities offer distance learning courses that can be completed at home.  Many programs take as little as four months to complete and are extremely inexpensive.  \n\nI hope this helps!

Yes, you can get a nursing degree by going to a community college. This would be an option if you feel like you will never go to graduate school in nursing and also when you become a nurse you don't mind other R.Ns getting ahead who have bachelor's degrees.\n\nYou can also get a nursing degree through a 4 year university like I have. But please note that just because you went to 4-year university that you'll automatically be an RN and thats it. Its not that simple. No mater where you go, please make sure that school is nationally accredited by the national league nursing. Also, this is very usefull, but I didn't find out until after I graduated, go to the website of the board of nursing of the state your in,and see what the statistics are of any school whether 2 or 4 year on their nursing license passing rates(NCLEX exam). This will tell you whether a school is a good school vs. a great school.\n\nVolunteering services to my knowledge are not necessary, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if you did do some voluteering.\n\nThe prequisites depend on the school, but most nursing schools \nwant you to take and also do well in:\n\n1. Anatomy and Physiology\n2. Microbiology and micro lab.\n3. Some type of college level math.\n4. Statistics\n5. Psychology, preferably developmental Psych because you will\n    have to deal with people across the life span.\n6. Economics, just so that you'll be a more well rounded person\n7.Sociology of course, because you have to know and learn how\n   to communicate with others not like yourself\n8. Human Nutrition\n9.Chemistry for health professions\n10. Ethics (medical ethics if you can).\n11. Some type of class pertaining to the human organ systems,\n      don't know the name, but would be nice if you took that.\n12. Other general education requirements that the school you\n      attend should tell you about once your admitted.\n\nI can't think of anymore classes, it would take I guess at least 2 years to complete the prerequisites.\n\nI hope this helped!!

I have seen ads in my local paper for hospitals willing to pay tuition.  Nursing is a critical shortage in almost every state.  Do some research and see if you have a local hospital that is willing to pay for your education in exchange for your loyalty when you graduate.
