3. Anyone in or finished the pre-licensure online BSN program?

   kk80 replied to artonurse's topic in Western Governors

4. How NP programs view WGU?

   kk80 replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Western Governors

   In regards to accreditation, you should not run into any issues as WGU is CCNE accreditated. FYI- they have a pre-licensure program in CA and Texas so obviously, these state nursing boards don't have issues with the curriculum. It would depend on th...

10. Already in, or have completed the pre-licensure program

    kk80 replied to t3mama's topic in Western Governors

    I would say that the majority of my cohort, either work jobs where they can work 3-12's per week or not working. There are a few that do work M-F jobs but seem to have a bit more difficulty with scheduling as we progress in the program. Please keep...
