This is the only one I'm aware of. It is a good program if you are extremely self-motivated, and self reliant. Don't count on a lot of help from them, though. Word of advice. Avoid the non-affiliated rip offs programs that act as a middle man for the SUNY program. I've heard they are not worth the cost and usually provide outdated study materials as SUNY changes the tests often.

I've known several paramedics who have gone through it successfully as well as a few who dropped out or couldn't make it through their clinical "challenge" portion.

Expect to pay at least $5,000 for an ADN (with clinical) for an ADN. It is possible to complete it in a year, although two-three years is more reasonable especially if you continue to work as an LPN while going through the process.
