Registered Nursing Degree, Nursing degree via correspondence?
My wife has a 2 year nursing Diploma and is working as a registered nurse. The
hospital she is working at is willing to train her in the ICU and she would like
to upgrade herself to a BSN.
Is it possible to do this via a correspondence course (primarily) though she
knows there will be some time spent classroom and practical classes? She
doesn't really want to have to stop work and go back to University for 2 or 3
years and start out again.
I've looked out on the Net and haven't been able to find any information on this
though I may be using the wrong keywords. Has anyone got experience/comments in
doing this and has some leads for me?
I'll bet you work with computers....your wife is going to "upgrade" herself, eh?
Sounds like something my husband would say. I do wish there were some way to
download the college courses offered online directly into my mainbrain file.
You may want to do a search for "Regents College" in New York. Also, do a search
under the topic "distance learning". I know the University of Southern Colorado
offers affordable, online, accredited courses. USC is only one of many that offer
this, however.
How do you define correspondence??? Go look into the NY Regents
program, it's not "correspondence" it's assessment and it might work
for you wife. http/.www.regents.edu
