Which RN to BSN online course?

I was wondering which online RN to BSN course in the USA to choose. There
is so many offers and it is hard to decide.
I also don't know which courses have proper acreditations, so it's not a
waste of time to obtain a BSN and have it not count. I am based in New
York.

Thank you for any answers from people who have already taken the path from
being an RN to BSN.

You can look into university of Phoenix Online, but be prepared for 1)
steep costs and 2)high pressure sales pitch.

I'm almost finished now, and I feel that the level of education is not
always there, but if you want the BSN, its not that tough to go through.

Good luck.

Thank you, that is for sure one of the most advertised courses and I have
already experienced the high sales pitch from them, but was still
wondering...

I definitely want to have my BSN

If you'd like, I'll find out if I can get a student in the program to e-mail
you.

I know that there are many programs out there, but there's also
Excelsior college (www.excelsior.edu), which has an RN-to-BSN program.
I don't know how it compares in terms of cost, hassles, etc., but it
may be worth checking out.
