I have met a couple of nurses in the WGU program that are either per-diem or part time. So I am not confident in the accuracy of the information you were given.

I have never recevied a robo call either.

2btrauma, good luck with biochem. I tried to fight that one, and my course description even siad it included biochem. But no luck. WGU will only accept a course specifically called "biochem". Not a chem that includes biochem! Every college looks at ...

Based on reading many, many posts from other students, this seems like the fairly typical transfer evaluation for the nursing program. It is exactly what mine is as well (with Speech thrown in too). WGU was very generous about matching up past course...

mykidsmom65- they took all of my credits (except stats) as far back as 1983. I have not seen any limits on any course other than stats which has a 5 year limit.

Debitup- when did you enter WGU, and how old were your statistics/nutrition courses?

Skoolrn....wow~!

it is an understandable objective measurement for parents. And also what mds1 said.

I am on track to start 7/1/13 right now. Keeping my fingers crossed that it really happens!

2btrauma, I emailed a copy of the course descriptions with my classes where I could. The chemistry I took specifically said it included biochemistry, so I am hoping that I get credit for it too. But not holding my breath. schnookimz- I am not sure w...

The statistics should transfer over for you based on the information they give out. I have no idea about the Assessment course, I can only tell you that most I see posting are taking it. And the Gen Eds will transfer where they apply. Have you looked...

2btraumaRN2008- I think that the statement PMFB made about AAS vs AS vs AA vs ADN used to be true when WGU evaluated transcripts in years past. But it seems that most recently transcripts are evaluated based on individual merit instead of the type of...

Me too for 8/1 instead of 7/1. I wonder if they are holding transcripts on purpose? I had my transcripts sent to 3 schools at the same time. The other 2 schools received everything by last Wednesday. But not WGU.....

I am in the process of applying to WGU RN-BSN (with consideration of moving to RN to MSN). I love the idea of a competency based program. I have also applied to a few other RN to BSN programs, and will compare the credits needed and time/cost benefi...

schnookimz- I am starting witht he RN - BSN, but with the thought of switching to RN - MSN if this learning platforms works well for me. The only other hesitation I have is that I really would like to get my MSN in informatics instead of education/le...

I am glad it is going well for you. Which two classes did you finish? And whatare the new classes being added in August?

I am hoping to, xmashopperRN. I should know for sure the end of the week.

They received my first transcript today. Two more to go. They were mailed either yesterday or today. So they should have those the beginning of the week. Then just wait for admission and transcript evaluation! I think my enrollment counselor is gett...

That is good to hear featherzRN. I was just notified that WGU received my first transcript. The other 2 were mailed today. I expect them to get to WGU the begining of next week. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I would schedule a meeting with the human resources department to clarify what your status is, what your requirements are, and if they have another position that you may fit into instead of looking for a position at another facility. HR needs to kno...

My push to start is because if I have to take 2 math courses, I want to do it with my son home from college so I have a live-in tutor. He is a math wiz....

I had the initial call with the EC today. He did not seem to think a July 1 start would be a problem if my transcripts were in by next week. So I am hoping that will work out. I did see where the applicants at the begining of the year had to wait. Ma...

Conqueror, can you provide examples of how mentors are more rigid? And yes, WGU is the only school that is not willing to accept my statistics course because it is more than 5 years old. All other schools are, including the one brick and mortar one...

I applied last weekend (5/26) and I am hoping that my transcripts arrive quickly. Passed the readiness assessment, sent in a few other things they asked for. So just waiting on the transcript evaluation and hoping that they are as generous with trans...

American Sentinel will not accept quarter credits for Gen Ed. if earned under the quater system. Even if you have 3 quarters that would equal 2 semesters in any other school on the credit. They wanted me to repeat my English/Psych/Soc and something ...
