I need to obtain my BSN due to Magnet status at the hospital I currently work for. I have applied to WGU and they initially denied me because I have a reprimand on my license. There are no restrictions, fines or other disciplinary actions listed, only the reprimand. I have appealed the decision at WGU and am waiting to hear back.
Does anyone know or have been to any other schools with a reprimand or other disciplinary action on their license? I need to keep applying and don't know where to begin. Help!!!

Did you ever get any info back from WGU? They shouldn’t refuse you for a reprimand as there are no restrictions.

Hi, yes, both WGU and GCU will take you with a reprimand as long as you get a letter from the board saying there are no restrictions.
They won't take you without something in writing even though it clearly states on the board website what the definition of a reprimand is.
I got the letter from the board, although it took many phone calls and emails.
