Thanks for replying. Congrats on finishing up your degree. I'm glad it wasn't a problem to apply to Masters programs for you. Are you happy with your program? I just applied to the RN to MSN Leadership and Management.

I know this thred is a little old but I thought I'd give it a show. The WGU approach is so appealing but I was wondering how employers react to no GPA. Is it hard or even possible to get into other schools? For example, say I want to go to a traditional pH D program after I finish at WGU, would it be possible to be considered

I have a BA in Anthropology. I am in my last semester of an Associates in Nursing program and plan on contiuing my education. I'll be taking my boards in the spring so I will be an RN by the time I start the next program. I know that I want a Master's but I am a little confused about what the next step should be. There are accelerated BSN programs that are for people who have BA in another area, but who are not already RNs. And there are RN to MSN programs which seem designed for people who do not have a Bachelor's degree. My professors are encouraging me to do a "bridge" program, but I am having trouble finding schools that offer this. Any advice would be appreciated. (If it helps narrow down advice, I am not planning on doing a NP program. I am more interested in Clinical Nurse Specialist or Community/Public Health Nursing). Thanks so much for any input.
