If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

Updated:   Published

I'm in the very early stages of researching BSN programs. I am planning on eventually moving on to an NP program. I understand the pass/fail 3.0 issue with WGU, but I keep seeing posts saying people transferred successfully into NP programs despite this.

I am, however, having trouble ascertaining what NP programs specifically people got into. I've been looking for about an hour and haven't been able to pin down a specific NP program anyone from WGU had gotten into yet. I'm not married to any certain NP program at this time, so I'd like to hear what programs other people got into so I can research them.

WGU still looks appealing to me because I work FT, I'm no Spring chicken, and I am financially a bit strapped due to losing my home to a hurricane not too long ago, so I'm still rebuilding my life.

I'd really appreciate those who have graduated from WGU with a BSN and then successfully gotten into an NP program to share which programs are cool with the WGU grading system.

Thank you so much!

Hey AHH, did you ever get an answer? I would like to know as well. Thanks

DID the transfer from WGU to your FNP program work out for you? I am having the same concerns, thank you

Has anyone gained entrance into a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Program with a WGU BSN? If so, which school was it? Really interested in this field and would like to see if I can get pointed in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

Where did you end up doing your Psychicatric NP course.

In-state or out-of-state? Just curious. I am VERY interested in Vanderbilt's graduate programs.

Thats great, what was your GPA after you finished at WGU

Specializes in Critical Care.

I know this is an old thread but I remember having this same question. So I just wanted to share. I finished my BSN from WGU in late 2016. I just graduated from my MSN NP Track in Dec 2019, and took boards Jan 2020 for my NP (Passed). I applied to 3 NP programs after WGU and was accepted into all 3. Best of luck to everyone out there considering this track!

I got my BSN from WGU and got into am now in FNP school at Olivet. I applied to Purdue, George Washington and a couple other schools and was accepted but chose Olivet for its affiliation with my employer because I got a discount

It is good to hear that a WGU degree leads to NP school acceptance.

I am a WGU alumnus, RN-MSNed track. I had no problem getting into a PMHNP program. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in December 2018.
