Don't get me wrong I love online learning, but nursing is an entirely different matter. My strongest recommendation is to get all the gen ed requirements for a nursing program out of the way and then apply to a real nursing program. You need the practical clinical experience that a real nursing program offers. An AS from a community college in nursing could satisfy the requirements to take the nursing board. Once you have obtained your nursing license pursuing an online bachelor's degree is fine. So many states have different requirements. I obtained my license back in the middle ages in an old fashion three year hospital program (not a good option in today's society). In my little city alone we have night nursing programs, day nursing programs, private college nursng programs (RA accredited), state college programs, community college programs, etc. It would be difficult to take the boards in Tennessee from an online school in this state, if not impossible.
If nursing is what you desire, please look locally seriously, it is well worth the time it will save you in classes and frustration.
