Prelicensure BSN program

HELLO EVERYONE! I need advice on whether I should attend WGU online prelicensure BSN program! I live in Florida and am currently working full time at the hospital. If I do the program at WGU it would work with my work schedule and the hospital will pay for some of my tuition but has anyone completed the program? Or is in the process of completing it? Or knows anyone that is doing either of the two. I am nervous about the program being online and I know the school will set up mentors for each course but I am used to being in a classroom setting or having an actual teacher running the online class that I can email and ask questions. If anyone has taken this program or is in the process of taking it please tell me everything you think about the program. Pros and Cons! Thanks in advance! Shalonda

    I'm at the beginning stages of looking into this program. I live about 3 hrs from Indy but own my practice and can change the schedule from time to time. I have a couple questions for those of you that are already in the program. Obviously I would prefer to only have required attendance be on weekends. I could do Fri-Sun anytime.

    What is there for weekday and evening obligations other than studying?

    Also how long is the BSN prelicensure program?

    No way you could get an only Fri-Sun clinical rotation. The labs are weekends only, but the clinicals can be weekdays or weekends. You really don't get that much input on clinical dates. However, they are not that frequent and you very well will get nurses that have some Fri-Sun dates so you wouldn't have to rearrange your schedule that often or all the time. Clinicals that would require you to be available only are every 6-8 weeks. The BSN prelicensure program is 2 1/2 years.

    Once again, thank you for answering my questions. It's looking more like I can start requesting my information be sent from previous schooling.

    I am considering taking Prelicensure BSN online at WGU in San Antonio, TX; does anyone know how they give exams? Are those online proctored exams? I know clinical and labs are in person. What about theory classes? Are they online and self-paced? Is anyone taking Prelicensure for the BSN program?
