    Hello everyone. I am starting WGU RN-BSN on December 1st. I just got my transfer eval. It seems like I only have to complete the BSN courses and nutrition - 25units. Is this typical? One of my RN...

  10. RN Diploma vs. ADN

    asp40 replied to mom2009's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Do not go the Diploma route. Right now, ADNs are really struggling to find jobs in NJ - I believe those with a Diploma will struggle even more. I would do the ADN and then BSN - or better yet, BSN...
