Indiana State University is unique in that it offers an LPN/LVN to BSN online program. Students may need to take additional foundational courses, such as freshman writing, general psychology and anatomy, and program completion typically takes longer than an RN to BSN program (two and one-half years versus two years). The foundation coursework is offered in conjunction with Ivy Tech Community College and may be taken either online or on-campus; all nursing classes are offered online with clinical practicums arranged in the student's community.

Jacksonville University School of Nursing's RN to BSN online program offers working nurses much flexibility with scheduling coursework; new sessions begin six times per year. As graduate Belinda Pickett says, "I was able to maintain my full-time job, and be a full-time wife and mother while completing my degree course work." RNs are also allowed to complete clinical assignments where they work, and can design their own practicums based on individual interests, such as using music to lower stress in patients or writing an orientation manual for new nurses in their departments.
