Online Nursing Degree?
I'm looking to possibly start doing a total online RN nursing degree if possible and if I can afford it. I already have a Bachelors in Sociology and not sure if any of my credits will transfer. Can anyone recommend a school that is legit (preferrably not University of Phoenix, etc.) but rather a larger well-known university that may have all of its classes online? I know it is a long shot, but never hurts to ask! Thanks so much, and if you can provide a website for me to look at that will help your chances at getting the 10 points. =)

Well the answer about Chamberlain might bear qualification, That program is for people who are already nurses, registered nurses with associates' degrees can get a BSN online. You have a degree in Sociology. I think the first answer I see here is right, you can't do a nursing program without practical hands on training.
I'm not an expert, but I did explore nursing programs for my son. Most of them have a set of fairly specific and common prerequisites, then like any bachelor's program a general education component that you've likely met, then professional courses specific to nursing.
Likely some of your sociology degree courses will transfer and help, but I suspect all the professional nursing courses will have to be taken in person.

I work as an Admissions Representative for a Regionally accredited Nationwide school, (not University of Phoenix) I recommend Chamberlain College of Nursing, I do not work for this school, but they have been around for over 100 years and are based out of St. Louis. Highly reputable and will help you find a Nursing position afterwards. They have a great online program.

You cannot get a nursing degree without seeing patients, learning clinical techniques like catheterization & IV infusion etc. Can't learn those online. Would you allow someone to put a needle in you who has only taken online courses?

I don't see how an on-line course can give you the required clinical experience needed before taking licensing exams. As such I don't think there is ever going to be a completely on-line program. You are also going to have to take several science classes thaat you didn't take as part of your Sociology degree.
