    I know most of you guys don't like UOP, but they do have an online LPN to BSN and an MSN program, which are accredited by the NLNAC.

    Licensed Practical Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing
    Version 001

    Program Description

    The University of Phoenix, College of Health Sciences and Nursing is committed to the advancement of nurses. Program objectives focus on evidenced based professional practice, critical thinking, communication, information utilization and collaboration. The acquisition of these objectives is essential to the practice of nursing.

    The LPN/LVN track provides an opportunity for Practical/Vocational nurses to transition into the BSN program. This track is designed to develop professional knowledge and skills to support the transition of LVN/LPN to the role of registered nurse (RN). Successful completion of the program allows students to sit for the NCLEX exam for registered nurses.

    The curriculum, as with the RN to BSN, is built upon a foundation of biological, physical, and social sciences, which contribute to the science of nursing. The liberal arts components enhance the development of the intellectual, social, and cultural aspects of the professional nurse.

    The program supports the foundation of the biological, physical and social sciences through an instructional program with behavioral objectives that concentrate on the development of the nurse's role. The LPN/LVN to BSN program is comprised of two components. Students enter a nursing Introductory Course Sequence (ICS) which focuses on role transition; knowledge and skills related to care of medical/surgical, pediatric geriatric, maternal child, and mental health clients, as well as additional health and general educational related support courses.

    Upon completion of these courses, the student will transition into the 36 credit upper division nursing component, which will focus on expanding their nursing experience to include families, communities, research, and leadership. They will continue to develop their role transition from LPN/LVN to BSN focusing on the nurse's role as caregiver, teacher, and manger of care.


    I am just providing information, and since I know nothing about nursing, cannot comment on quality aside from the fact they have regional and NLNAC accreditation in this case.
