That's great information. There are a lot of great options out there to obtain a higher degree, it's just a matter of finding what's best for you. I switched from WGU to another school and finished in 2 months. I received my degree in the mail last week. So I'm happy I made the change, but many people have a great experience at WGU.

I believe that's it, just alot of misinformation and confusion on the clinical hours. I was told 100, other were told 112 hours, it was too confusing for me, and you do need a preceptor as well.

Hello, actually I enrolled for May 1 start, but I wound up unenrolling because I was not aware of the 100 hours of clinical requirement. I enrolled with another school instead and started May 9th.

Thank you so much for your reply!?

Hello, I start WGU's RN to BSN in May 2022. I see they have made some changes to the program, and now require Pathophysiology instead of Biochemistry. Can anyone tell me about this class, and how difficult it is ? Everything I have read about the program seems to be before the current changes. Thank you.

Hi there, did you find out the answer to your question? I am currently in the same boat, taking ATI.

It was an email sent to current students. I don't know if I'm allowed to post it here. It was on the site itself, I believe under the information on ADN program. NY is still accredited and Excelsior is appealing the decision. I don't know what it means, I posted hoping someone could tell me.

I received an email from Excelsior College that they have lost accreditation for their nursing program except in New York. They are appealing.

I received an email on 4/21/20. Excelsior lost accreditation except in NY. They are appealing.

LPNS have to take an NCLEX like RN's do. Interestingly, during this Pandemic, LPNS are working on the same units, and floors with covid patients, performing the same duties as an RN. In my hospital, LPNS were taken off the floor just weeks before the pandemic, and had to be sent back to help out. Why all of a sudden is education and license no longer important? Seems hypocritical to me.

Thank you for responding. No, I wasn't directly speaking to you, and congratulations by the way. I was actually being sarcastic because while the CE's are humans, so are the students. I was grateful for passing the one PCS, but it only solidified my belief that testers are at the mercy of the CE's, and if they really want to, they have more authority than they let on. The CE passed me because she rushed to get my patient together, did not complete her paper work, left the medications for simulation in the basement(the hospital did not allow students to pass meds), and basically said, and I quote, "I'm just going to tell her you passed, I saw you do everything, you know what you're doing". This is why I don't feel everyone is getting a fair shot. I cannot be politically correct, or self deprecating when it's obvious that they are abusing their authority.

Why so quiet on the home front?

I passed a PCS even though I left out a critical element. What does that say about this program? Should I appeal?

Hello MrsPerezLPN, I know this is old, but I just wanted to know if you are still working at Northwell Health, and are you working as an LPN? If so, how do you like it there? I know they don't often have LPN positions open. I'm always checking. Thanks in advance.
