Seriously, contact some advisors at the major universities closest to you. They should be able to help you and probably even guide you to a major that all your credits would apply to.

Good luck.

U of Phoenix' MBA is particularly worthless. No AACSB accreditation, no acceptance standards, comic book classes, no professors (only "facilitators"). The entire program is a laughing stock, attractive only to people who get their college information from afternoon television and bulletin boards in trailer parks.

That said, there are some very good online programs for people who are already RN (or even LPN) from diploma and associates programs who want to progress to the bachelor's level. There are also some very good master's level programs.

These require that you already have some level of certification and that you have a place to practice your skills (ie: you work in a patient care setting).

If you pick a regionally accredited school (and in nursing you'll also need professional accreditation) then you'll find that online coursework is actually harder than the in-the-class counterpart. The online class only changes the venue and not the material covered – nursing is one of those things that is best learned (most often) in the practical lab environment.

Make sure the school you're looking at is accredited (regionally and professional) and that your state will accept a degree from that school as eligibility to take the nursing exams before you spend any time or money.

Online learning, particularly Excelsior College via Rue Education, seems to be much easier than going locally for a few reasons:

1) You are able to get through the program at a full time pace even though you are only doing the work part time
2) You don't have to take out student loans because Rue has no interest payments and no credit check, and with today's economy, student loans are looking uglier and uglier, so this is a good option.
3) Excelsior gives you credit for being an LPN to the extent that you only need to do a one weekend clinical

So depending on the circumstances you are under, you may want to really research both options… a simple phone call or email wouldn't hurt.

The quality of education these programs offer is minimal – there is simply no substitute for the kind of dynamic interactions and discussions that commonly occur in face-to-face college courses. Also, the quality of educator is significantly less at online universities – the best faculty choose to teach at real colleges and universities. Both the pay and work environments are far superior to online universities. So, for great classes from great instructors, go to a real college or university.

Also, because of the minimal training they offer, employers and graduate institutions place little value in degrees earned from online programs. Many of these programs lack even basic accreditation for the degree programs they offer.

Bottom line – you will receive little if any personal or professional benefit from online universities relative to what you could have received from a real college or university.
