One of the biggest questions we get is whether our nursing program is an accredited nursing program. There are several accredited online nursing schools available throughout the country, and we understand the need for accreditation. For one, the appropriate accreditation many times gives those who wish to move on to a further level of education the ability to do so.
First and foremost though, accreditation provides assurance that the program in which you
are enrolled or are considering enrolling is engaged in continuous review and
improvement of its quality, that it meets nationally endorsed standards in the
profession, and that it is accountable for achieving what it sets out to do.
Because we feel that nursing education should be given the highest accreditation possible, our program has regional accreditation by the National League of Nursing; regional accreditation is considered the "gold" standard for accreditation, and it is why we feel that we can offer one of the best online nursing schools that create quality BSN Nurses.
If you are interested in pursing nursing programs in San Diego, CA, then we may be just what you are looking for. California nursing schools are certainly some of the best out there, and with the University of Oklahoma being directly available in our site there, we feel that the nurse education online we offer can give you a jump start to your nurse career and also boost the healthcare population to give quality nurses in San Diego.
If you have further questions about our program, please visit our website at http://ounursing.com/ or call us at 1-888-696-8276. We'd be happy to answer any questions you have about our nursing program and hope to hear from you soon to get you started on earning a bachelor of science nursing degree!

Absolutely!
We have a specially designed "Career Ladder" program designed specifically for those who have already had their RN training and are looking to get their RN Bachelors degree in nursing. This program is different than our second degree program, which is designed for those who have little to no nursing experience looking to jump start their nursing education online.
More details about the RN to BSN San Diego program are located on our website at http://ounursing.com, but to give you some quick information, this is a program that is designed to get your bachelor of science nursing degree in as little as nine months. The coursework and bookwork just the same as our second degree program in that it is online, but the clinical portion is not as heavy, and therefore it allows a quicker time frame to be a BSN nurse.
Why is it important to get your bachelor of science nursing degree if you are already an RN? In today's healthcare, many healthcare facilities are looking for those who have achieved their BSN in their nurse career, much in due part to the expanded possibilities BSN nurses offer to those facilities, including the ability to move into management and administrative positions, as well as there being several studies done to show the effectiveness of those who have achieved their bachelor of science nursing degree (including patient mortality rates and other key statistics). Basically, it makes those who are already have had nursing education make themselves more marketable and also is favored by healthcare providers.
The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program normally has 2 starts for our Online RN program San Diego cohort, which is generally Spring and Fall. If you are an RN and are looking to further your nursing education as well as additional nurse training, we may have just what you are looking for! Please contact us at 1-888-696-8276 or visit our website for more details.

The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program's Accelerated Nursing Program takes 14 months to complete for second degree seekers. For this type of speedy nurse training, we have two components of the program: online education for nurses, and the clinical aspect of the nurse education. These are completed concurrently so you can get your bachelor of science nursing degree as fast as possible!
In terms of time spent for the San Diego BSN program, you will spend approximately 600 hours with the online theory portion and about 870 hours of the clinical aspect. We understand that you want to get a jump start on your nurse career--and so as you can see, that's a lot of time within 14 months spent in our online nursing school. So, we get the question "Can I still work while in your nursing program?" quite a bit.
There is no definite answer to this, however, as this very much depends on the individual. With the time listed above, you can count on at least 2-3 days a week, averaging approximately 12-16 hours a week in the clinical portion, and we give you at least one semester in advance notice of when and where you'll be doing your live nurse training. As the clinicals are done in live Sharp Healthcare environments with other nurses in San Diego, it's important to remember that these clinicals can be scheduled during the day or night, any day of the week. Along with the reading and online theory work you will complete towards your online nursing bachelors degree, this is a very intensive, aggressive program, so it is important that while you may be able to continue to work, this nursing program does demand more of a full-time commitment.
Our RN to BSN San Diego program is a bit different than the 14 month ABSN, so if you are currently an RN looking to get your BSN and would like to know how this is different, please give us a call at 1-888-696-8276 or visit us online at http://ounursing.com for more information on obtaining your RN Bachelors degree.

This is a phrase we often hear about our accelerated BSN program in San Diego. While nursing education online is generally faster than the traditional nurse training, some times the thought of being in an online nursing school from start to finish in just 14 months for our second degree accelerated nursing program can seem daunting.
And yes--it is fast! RN programs in San Diego as well as even the best online nursing schools across the country have made it so that individuals who want to have the nurse training done quickly CAN--and the fact that we offer a program that gives individuals a chance to be BSN Nurses in a little over the year--sometimes this raises question of quality or accreditation. We understand concerns about this.
First off, we are an accredited nursing program; our accreditation includes the California Board of Nursing as well as the Oklahoma Board of Nursing; we also hold a regional accreditation through the National League of Nursing. So while it may be hard to believe that the online education for nurses can be done with our program in 14 months--and for that are seeking online RN to BSN schools--we can offer this to licensed RNs in as little as 9 months!
But what about quality? You want it, you got it! The University of Oklahoma has long been regarded as one of the cutting-edge nursing programs in the country, and our average first board NCLEX pass rates for those that have gone through the program is a little over 91%--compare that to the national average of 88%!
If getting a Bachelor of Science Nursing degree from a quality, accredited nursing program is what you are seeking, we'd like for you to consider the University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program. Please visit our website at http://ounursing.com today or give us a call at 888-696-8276. We'll be happy to help you on your path for nursing education!
