I'm stuck between these two online schools and looking for help in deciding on where to get my BSN. I'm going to get my CSN certificate once I obtain my BSN. If you've attended/are attending either of these schools, or know someone that has/is, please tell me some pros and cons. Thank you!
klone, MSN, RN 14,577 Posts Specializes in OB-Gyn/Primary Care/Ambulatory Leadership. Has 17 years experience. May 23, 2020 I attended WGU for both my BSN and my MSN. I highly recommend it, particularly if you're very self-motivated and disciplined. I've known people who have gone through the BSN program in only one term.
OUxPhys, BSN, RN 1,203 Posts Specializes in Cardiology. Has 8 years experience. May 25, 2020 OU has a very good program. I say OU, although I am a bit biased since I graduated from OU.
Undercat, BSN, MSN, CRNA 307 Posts Specializes in Retired. Has 41 years experience. May 25, 2020 Is WGU pass/fail grading. I have read on this forum that those "grades" are not acceptable for other grad school.

It is considered a 3.0 not just a pass fail. It might be a little more difficult depending on entry requirements but it’s totally doable.
FutureRN1011 4 Posts Jul 2, 2020 From my understanding WGU is not a pass/fail system any longer. I am attending the program for my BSN now. I like it a lot. Since it is self paced you have to be motivated but I work and am a mother to a 9 month old and have been able to complete things at a manageable rate. I also know people who have completed the program in a term (specifically a month!) but she was in between jobs and spend 10-12 hrs on school work a day.
