Online LPN to RN now possible

100% Online Nursing Degrees Now Available

Did you know that as an LPN or LVN, you can now obtain your RN degree completely online?

Or go from RN to BSN?

Quite true, but hard to find out which schools offer these programs.

Employment of registered nurses is expected to grow much faster than average for all occupations through 2014 (Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics). However, there is one significant obstacle which may well confront currently qualified LPN's who wish to go back to school to earn their RN degree.

In a direct quote from the Bureau of Labor Statistics website (www.bls.gov) -

".... many qualified applicants are being turned away because of a shortage of nursing faculty to teach classes. The need for nursing faculty will only increase as a large number of instructors nears retirement."

Indeed, enrollments in nursing programs at all levels have increased more rapidly in the past couple of years as students seek jobs with stable employment.

Such a circumstance lends a greater incentive than ever to those wishing to earn a Nursing degree online.

An Associate of Science in Nursing degree is currently available online for current LPN's, LVN's, Paramedics, Respiratory Therapists/Technicians & other pre-qualified medical personnel.

In addition, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN's) and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN's) can earn their NLNAC-accredited Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree without ever stepping foot in a classroom.

An option for current RN's, is an online RN to BSN program, unique in that it offers a well-rounded curriculum in a format that allows busy nurses to complete their upper-level core nursing courses in just 12 months. In addition, all clinical courses are mentored by local preceptors, which eliminates any travel and clinical testing.

Statistically, indicators for the future outlook for qualified Nurses are highly encouraging:

Fact: Registered nurses constitute the largest health care occupation, with 2.4 million jobs.*

Fact: Registered nurses are projected to create the second largest number of new jobs among all occupations; job opportunities in most specialties and employment settings are expected to be excellent, with some employers reporting difficulty in attracting and retaining enough RNs*

Fact: Registered nurses are projected to create the second largest number of new jobs among all occupations. Thousands of job openings also will result from the need to replace experienced nurses who leave the occupation, especially as the median age of the registered nurse population continues to rise.*
