Well, bit the bullet, and did it. April 8th.... The day I started my prereqs through straighterline.... of course all leading up to the prelicensure program with WGU.
I've looked all over for advice, stories, warnings, but at this point, I don't really think anything can stop me from pursuing my BSN with WGU.
Hopefully I can knock out my prereqs sooner rather than later. One thing I might suggest if you're scared of pulling the trigger as I was, is to bone up on your math on Khan Academy first.
Out of my months of months digging through forums, I only heard about it once, went straight there and was hooked. I have consistently logged on and completed tasks everyday since I found the site. Completing the statistics section gave me the confidence to tackle the straighterline course.
As an aside, they also have an NCLEX review, as well as numerous science, and medical courses and they are all free.
Oh! almost forgot, if you are considering signing up with Straighterline, LOOK ONLINE for coupon codes when you are ready to "register" pay? Not sure what the terminology should be... They ALWAYS have a coupon active somewhere to get your first course FREE...
When you sign on to Straighterline, in the upper right corner you will see your profile, click that and a drop down menu should pop up, click on myline dashboard, and you can continue your progress from there.
Also, make sure you allow pop ups, if you have those turned off by default in internet explorer or any kind of flash blocking programs or adblockers, that will interfere with the popups.
To turn off your popups go to internet explorer options, the little cog in the upper right of ie, go to the privacy tab and uncheck the block popups box.
Thank you so much for this amazing info ! I'm taking my 1st class via SL. A&P 1. I have found more learning everywhere but SL.to be honest. I now understand that what you're really paying for is the credit. Khan is wonderful and a godsend, I am actually learning quite a lot from that site.Thank you again for the wonderful tips
I would really appreciate if someone could answer this concern I have. Since Straighterline is not accredited do you think it will effect chances of getting into a grad school after you get your BSN? I am applying for a BSN which accepts prerequisites from Straightelrine. I am just not sure how this would effect my chances of pursuing a masters degree later on.
