   Valens replied to Raviepoo's topic in Western Governors

   Not specific to PhD, but I'm starting the pre-licensure BSN with WGU in Oct. This will be my second Bachelor's degree. My concern was moving on to an MSN at a different institution. I'd recommend what was recommended to me: contact the schools you th...
