Online Nursing Programs
Nursing programs with online coursework, verified on each school's website. Most online nursing programs are for nurses who are already licensed (RN-to-BSN, MSN, DNP). Programs that lead to a first license always include in-person clinical training.
Before applying, check three things on each program page: who arranges clinical placements and preceptors, how many campus visits are required, and whether residents of your state can enroll. Also see hybrid programs.
