What is a good online nursing program for LPN to RN?

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.

not really quick but an LPN is 1 year course and you can get associate degree later if you like your work

There are a few ways to become a nurse in the US.  You can become an LPN or an RN.  LPNs are pretty limited in what they can do, and usually graduate from a one year program.  To become an RN, you can either go to a two year program and earn an associate's degree or a four year program and earn a bachelor's degree.  In the hospital supposedly RNs with associate degrees and bachelors degrees do the same things, but some hospitals are starting to require the bachelor degree, and the bachelor degree programs offer more leadership classes.  In addition, if you want to become an advanced practice nurse (such as a nurse practictioner) you will need to have the bachelor's degree.

well you'll need a nursing degree.  here's req. for that:  http://www.jewell.edu/william_jewell/gen/william_and_jewell_generated_pages/Nursing_Requirements_p283.html\n\nyou can't just walk in off the streets as it were.  LPN is the quickest way in. RN is better.  by the way i do know what i'm talking about, i put an old love through college and nursing program.  ER is hell and doesn't pay enough, btw.

Certified Nursing Assistant is not hard, but, you may need to be sure where to do this. You may need to take you classes and/or certification test in Texas. This about all I know, but, it does not take long, maybe 6-12 months of training. I know people who do this, but, not real up on it. Check around the Corpus Cristie area on the Inet and see if you can find Info for schools. I will search a little too, no promises. Maybe someone give you more info than myself.\nWell, I am back. Not real good finding you something. But try these; \nhttp://www.top-colleges.com/v/medical.html?source=ov-tc-can\nhttp://universityofphoenix-info.com/index.html\nIt look like it may require a 2 year degree (A.A.S. Associate of Applied Science (I guess)).\nBut, if you can contact a College you may at least feel them out for more Information on this. Sorry I not know more. :-( Most Technical Schools or Colleges can do a LPN in 2 years, and it better pay. ;-p

Not going to be able to answer that.  But I did look at North Dakota State.  They have an excellent nursing program and I would have loved to have been able to go there.  I can only tell you to research as many schools as  you can.  And try to visit as many as you can.  You have to remember most schools have a very strict curriculum based on the states requirements.  And all schools in that state are either right on the line or above.  Most try to be above the bar because they want their students to be prepared to pass the state exam.  Check out the schools in your area first.  Chances are you will find one that has the same requirements as the more expensive schools.

I'm not sure about Melbourne but James Cook University has an external pre-RN course.  This is funny because my best friend has just moved to NZ to do her RN's over there. I have put a link in the source section.  Good luck with it all welcome to nursing.  I am a registered nurse.

Check out Indiana Wesleyan University. They have campuses located throughout the state and offer various ways to earn an RN degree for those who can attend school full time and those who are working.

Hi!! let me help you somehow; If you get into the LPN program, there are programs that may help you accelerate into the RN program since you have the groundwork; Pharmacy Tech is usually a certificate program; that is a growing field; Medical Billing is very good; however, check out what each entails; where I live, the local college in my town bought most of the tech colleges and combined it into one and the LPN program merged with the RN program and they started a mobility track where if you have your LPN you can only take like seven classes and finish; but hey check out each and I wish you the best; also most of these fields, there is a need for them; Nursing is critical right now; Pharmacy Techs as well.

any college that is NLN accredited is good enough. Remember, these colleges are preparing you to take the licensure exam. However, the number one nursing school in the country is the University of Washington and number two is UCLA.\n\nAlso, when you are out there working as a nurse, no one cares what college you want to for nursing school. Really.

I am almost sure you cannot do that anymore.It used to be called "grandfathering"  But all is not lost.You clinical skills should help you in a nursing program.Why not go for R.N. LPNs are not as well trained as R.N.'s and they are supposed to function under the direction of an R.N. but believe me they don't.They aren't as respected in the medical community either.
