Question:
Dear Donna,
I am having difficulty deciding whether to do an RN-to-BSN program online or in a classroom setting. Does it matter in regard to finding employment? Is there any advantage to a classroom program?

Dear Donna replies:
Dear Needs to Decide,
Online education has become very popular and is perfectly legitimate. Employers recognize both. What matters is that you get the degree.
Online versus classroom is a matter of personal preference — there are pros and cons to both. This article helps to outline the differences: www.CE.Nurse.com/ce171-60/Earning-degrees-by-distance-education/coursepage.
