2 Dear Registered Nurse, Congratulations! You have taken a big step toward educational progression by opening this directory! We compiled the contained in these pages to provide nurses in the Commonwealth with a quick reference guide to RN-BSN programs. This is not a comprehensive directory with the proliferation of on-line RN-BSN programs nationwide, nurses in VA have opportunities to attend schools almost anywhere in the country or even the world. The programs included here are either located in Virginia or have had a strong student presence in Virginia. As the directory is updated and revised, new programs will certainly be added. The presence of a program in this directory does not indicate endorsement of the program by any organization or individual. The purpose of the directory is to provide a brief summary of of interest to potential RN - BSN students, employers, educators, and academic advisors. It is important to remember that nursing programs make frequent revisions, so the contained in this directory does not supersede any received from a college or university. FOR THE MOST CURRENT AND DETAILED INFORMATION, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTACT THE SCHOOL DIRECTLY. The individual websites for each program are included on the pages. A brief explanation of terms: means that the school or program has been evaluated by an outside accreditation agency and has been found to meet the standards outlined by that agency in order to be recognized and accredited. Please refer to the website of each organization for details about accreditation standards. NLNAC National League for Accrediting Commission - CCNE Commission on Collegiate - SACS Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - NCACS North Central Association of Colleges and Schools - MSACS Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools - NAACLS National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences - ACICS Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools - Cost is a rough estimate of cost per credit hour for the program. Be aware that many factors may impact this estimate including: fees, # credits accepted in transfer, # credits required to complete the program, administrative costs, books, etc. Many schools have tuition waivers and various discounts for Registered Nurses, so discuss the actual cost based on your individual circumstances with the appropriate advisor at each school.
