dying to start school, but...

Published

I applied at WGU, and had official transcripts evaluated by CGFNS sent in. I was super excited until they notified me that NONE of my credits could be transferred and I that I was looking at 3 years for completing my RN BSN program. Reason being is, I am a foreign educated nurse. The way the system works where I come from is, you can either go to school full time (Mon - Fri) OR part time (Fri, Sat), and do most work on your own. This was the option I took. The problem with that is, I obviously had less hours than a full time student. I am at my wits end and have no idea what to do... I would love to try different colleges, but CGFNS will charge to send my transcripts every single time!

How much do they charge for transcripts?

From what I have heard, WGU is usually good about credit transfer, so I am not sure you will find anything that accepts your credits. You might be better off going through WGU as they are reasonably priced.

I just paid $385 to have the transcripts sent to wgu. Any additional college is about $100.

Yeah, tell me about it. Right now, Grand Canyon Uni sounds good to me. It's expensive I believe tho. But I don't wanna be going through a process with too many other schools because $$$ will add up quickly!
