Oh, there are plenty. Just hunt around. There is going to be a clinical portion. You might have to fly home to complete it.

You may want to check excelsior college. Unless they have changed their requirements, you could progress through the program without any experience.

No matter what route you take, you will have to complete the requirements for the degree you choose. Depending on the school, the requirements might be able to be met by tests (CLEP, DANTES, or Excelsior tests).

Others might require some/all of the classes to be in-person. Double check with the school. Also make sure the school is NLN (National League of Nursing) approved. Don't waste time with a school that is not accredited either.

What DragonRider said. Nursing is NOT one of those jobs you can get without some clinical experience ... unless you want to waste a few patients along the way. Patients - that IS what it's about, right?

Short cuts serve NO one in any of the medical professions.
