  5. Best online RN to BSN program....CHEAP?

    SweettartRN replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Please bite your tongue when you say "and/or not a highly reputable program." WGU has a very highly reputable nursing program. Many, MANY hospitals have a relationship with WGU for their nursing...

    SweettartRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  8. Does it matter if you graduated from an unaccredited nursing program if you get a BSN

    SweettartRN replied to m2736185's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry I mis-interpreted that. I thought you meant that people will be looking to make sure a full two years has gone by from obtaining your ASN to your BSN, and that's just not the case anymore. I am...

    SweettartRN replied to Gratefulprn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Strange though. If they worked together for 3 years, I am wondering how he was able to hide that employer on his resume. On the other hand, I have worked with a couple of people that if they said...

    SweettartRN replied to m2736185's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Interesting. I will have obtained by BSN exactly one year from my graduation date of my ASN program, so I know that can't possibly be true. They are going to have to change that look hard and fast...

  17. Anyone heard of Saint Joseph's College of Maine?

    SweettartRN replied to funnygirl_rn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't recommend it. I was up in the air between SJCME and WGU when I switched from Indiana Wesleyan. I was not given any information on enrollment, was only bothered after another term had...

    SweettartRN replied to iam1rn's topic in Michigan Nursing
