I wondered the same thing. I pay a load to go to a private college but It's worth it in the end. I only had to wait 6 months to start my program once I was accepted which was 3 months after I applied.. and it;s a 2 yr BSN fast pace, so I'll get it done faster and be able to pay my loans of that much quicker. I really wanted this so with how hard it is to get into any nursing school in San Diego, 4 yr wait at some schools, I don't know why anyone would decline.

I've only heard good things about this program for those that meet the requirements. If I had had a previous degree I would have gone for it of Nationals program.

I'm In National University's program 2 yr BSN. I plain to finish the program even if I were to sit for the boards early. Many students say they are.. simply since we have about reached that 75% mark and their rational is that everything will be much more fresh in our minds. My only concern is when I apply for a lic. by endorsment in OKlahoma, which is where I will be moving after graduation will it some how make a difference if i were to take the boards before I have the degree. But I also then have heard that it does not even indicate on the lic itself that it's degreed or non degreed.

that's what I would think too... but I'm understanding that students after we have finished med-surg II can take the test... but you have to submit your own paper work.... In our program I heard that our cohort is the last that has the setup to make that possble. Like I said I feel like there is very mixed information flying aorund.

Okay maybe someone one can help clarify. My BSN RN program in California ends in a year.. we are almost finished with all of our core classes and many students are taking the NCLEX before we actually are awarded our degree. There has been mixed information as to whether doing so would result in a license that does not say degreed which would reflect negatively when potentials employeers want to see we have a degree. Others say your license does not indicate degreed vs. non-degreed as it is. Help! I'm trying to decied what I should do as I'd of course like to take it while the information is still fresh in my mind.. but since I will be moving out of state to OKlahoma sortly after gradutaion It means alot to me to have my license say degreed if it does in fact state that at all and if taking the NCLEX early would matter in the long run. Thanks. :uhoh21:
