Hi Angie,
Not sure where u are with ur nsg, but I have been an LPN for 14 yrs and did community college for a few years and now i am finishing up with a program online called Excelsior to get my RN, you'll have to check it out, u can do everything online, its based out of NY and at the very end when u are done u have to only do a weekend clinical in either a ny hosp or i heard GA. Don't know where u live? Cost isn't that bad either, and im a single mom just paying as i go. Check out the site. Feel free to ask me any questions.

You may want to look into whether you state accepts the online degree from Excelsior to sit for boards. When it looked into it there are a few states that don't let you sit and one or 2 that don't accept the degree for reciprocity. I looked into it more closely because we are military and move around often.

I know as of Dec 2009, VA won't let someone sit for boards if they did the Excelsior program.

Look into your local community colleges. Some offer night, online and/or evening classes.

good luck!!!
