... all the rash or articles with named submitters? Is there some sort of new WGU program where you have to publish under your own name or something? We have always heard from TPTB here that we must post anonymously, so something must be up.

What are you talking about? And no, it has nothing to do with WGU, which, BTW, has banned students from doing research capstone on social media message boards, naming AN.com specifically.
Love you, hate your constant dissing of WGU.

I'm guessing the rash of articles with authors with real names comes from the fact that Allnurses.com recently put out a "We're looking for people to publish articles on our website" announcement.

I guess the OP has not left anyone wondering how she feels about WGU!

It has absolutely nothing to do with WGU. In recent months the administration team at Allnurses.com Inc. has hired multiple nurse writers that are being credited using their real names. The overriding goal is to generate new content continually, and for that to happen we need a team of talented nurse writers.
Is there a list available with these authors names?

Excelsior College has been replaced as the program of ill repute. Actually, did not take the OP as being a criticism of WGU, just a supposition.
I know GrnTea is very disdainful of WGU, so everything s/he says about it, I read with that filter.

Uhm, Canadian here, absolutely no idea what WGU is.
Had been wondering the same thing.

I have thoroughly enjoyed many of the articles from these writers.
