I am getting an associate degree in health science from walford university. I was told that if I complete the course in health sciences that I can sit for my nclex-rn. Has anyone ever heard of this before or is this just a scam? I am already an LPN of 17 years. Please help before I take these classes.

Never heard if anything like that. Pretty certain you must do the LPN to rn transition course.

Walford University

Do you want to know what Salem Kureshi's group "Organization for Global Learning Education" was thinking when they were sitting around the apartment in Pakistan and came up with the latest fake University called Walford University? The answer is they were thinking of absolutely nothing. This fake University is an exact duplicate clone of all the other fake universities. Sure, the website is ever so slightly different. Sure, the text is ever so slightly different. Sure, the fees are ever so slightly different, however, the scam is the same.Walford University is simply another one of the diploma mills operated by this organization that seems to be creating diploma mills at a rate of nearly two per month.This is the organization gave Life Experience Degrees a bad name. Once again, they have absolutely no requirement for approval. Actually, I am mistaken. They do have one requirement. You must have a valid credit card. That's it. They pretend to offer classes, but they do not. The entire website is fictitious. As with their other universities, they do not stand behind their product. They do not provide verifications of degree credentials. Once you get your degree, you are ripped off. If you pay by credit card and you dispute the charge, they will not fight it. They will just allow the dispute. They have nothing to fight. They are based on volume. They ripoff hundreds unsuspecting students per week. If a few of those students dispute the credit card charge, this organization will not fight. They will simply allow the chargeback.

NO. You would need to complete their associate degree program in nursing in order to be eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN...assuming that it meets eligibility requirements to do so...

Complete this course of study and you're an LPN with an associates in health science. The health science curriculum does not meet the requirements for didactic instruction or clinical experience required to become an RN.
