You cannot become a nurse online. Nursing school involves doing skills labs and working in clinical settings to gain practical experience. You may be able to complete some prerequisites online but the actucal nursing program must be done in person. Be careful, there are lots of unaccredited “online” programs that are just scams.
I have not done it myself but one of my close friends did her bachelors’ in nursing online from University of Phoenix and was quite satisfied with the results. You can also do it online but be sure to choose the accredited university as there are many bogus universities also prevailing in the market. For legitimate universities visit http://www.thedegreeexperts.com/sd-bachelor-of-science-in-nursing-189.aspx offering online bachelors’ in nursing.
You need to be very careful while selecting an online nursing school. You must make sure that the online nursing program is accredited and the courses are widespread and comprehensive. This would ensure that the degree is respected by potential employers. One of my cousins graduated with an online nursing administration degree from Stevens-Henager College. The college is accredited and offers a few more online nursing programs. You can check out their website for further information.
