As in Pre-Nursing studies? That's usually less than 30 credits, definitely not a full bachelor's degree. Or did you mean something else?
For nursing pre-requisites the typical alt-credit providers (Study.com & StraighterLine especially) offer a selection of what you'd need (Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, Psychology, etc). There's also Portage Learning which offers a more complete set of courses (A&P I/II, Microbio, Intro to Psych, Lifespan Development, and plenty more). Portage courses are RA and around $200 a credit hour. You might be able to find online courses at a community college for cheaper pricing (especially with COVID-related campus closures, lab science courses are a little easier to find in a 100% virtual/online format).
As Rachel said, a full nursing degree could never be done all online - a significant portion of the work is clinical in nature. Excelsior does offer an ASN (which you could then bridge to a BSN/MSN), but it requires being employed in a healthcare setting already (LPN/LVN, Paramedic, or similar). Two of their courses also require an in-person component (in New York? I couldn't find many details) now.
