WGU prelicensure vs RN to BSN
Hey guys I graduated from a 2yr RN nursing school about half a year ago with my associate of science. I have yet to be granted an oppertunity to take the NCLEX by my school. Also my school is not NLN so the job market in my area is not very great, mostly nursing homes. Anyways my goal was to work in magnet hospital so I need my BSN degree. Could anyone tell me the difference between the WGU prelicensure program vs the RN to BSN program. I cant really tell a difference and they both have the same ammount of credit hours.

Medtech October '12 classes
Hey guys im a recent Medtech grad in their RN program. I totally regret going to this unaccredited school. I really didn't know any better and was just looking to go back to school fast. There are so many other schools to chose from don't make the same mistake I did. I felt like I really wasnt prepared for the NCLEX, and have yet to find a job. There is so much wasted time at this school. Half the time was girls acting childish like they were still in highschool but the school wont do anything about it because they want the money. The other half of the time was like share your personal life and talk about your kids. I felt like maybe 2 hours out a 6 hour day we would actually learn and the rest was ******** around girl time. Most the hospitals in Indianapolis wont hire our grads and personally im seriously considering moving out of state because I really dont want to work in a nursing home anymore Hey but this is only my take on it all, you can do whatever the **** you wanna do haha :)

Is this legal?
Ive tried to get back into it but every time I sit down to try I just get really agitated and frustrated. Im actually really depressed over all this and really regret picking this school to go to now. And yea im actually used to them changing policies, they changed things on us almost every semester most the time without notifying us about changes too.

Ya they want to get accreditation so they can raise tuition. It basically comes down to greed. But yea im at the breaking point I cant take another month of this online test prep. I just want to have a chance to take the test. The thing is when ever we call they just give us the run around like we have to take it. But it was not part of the program we agreed to when we signed up.

It was not a requirement when I signed up for the 2 year program, students used to test 2 weeks after our last semester. This is something new they sprang on us a month prior to our last day of school. Its been 5 months now and only a handful of students have got their certificates. And i have a letter stating "he has successfully completed all academic requirements and is consider a graduate of the program". Alot of my classmates are just as frustrated as me and we are starting to look around to see if there are any legal actions we can take against our college to get them to release our information to the state board. And the reason my college is doing is because our program isn't accredited so they think if they put us thru this extra bit we will have better pass rates on boards which I understand but the program is ridiculous that they want us to do.

Hey guys I graduated 5 months ago from a nursing school in Indiana. I still have not been allowed to take boards because my school will not release my certificate of completion to the state. They have have a NCLEX test prep thing that they want us to pass before they will release our info. Anyways I actually did it and you have to get a certain score to pass it. I ended up being 1% alway from what they want and they told me I would have to spend another month studying. So I got to thinking is this even legal for them to withhold my information. Technically i'm done with the nursing program, and even have my degree hanging on my wall. And this extra test prep is counting as continuing education.
