    I went ahead and changed all the Social media accounts to FutureRNJando since those were an easy fix. I also had my landing page changed to reflect the FUTURE NURSE aspect in large "can't miss it" font... and even made the proper disclaimer on a widg...

  4. WGU BSN prelicensure inquiry

    I think microbio would be a lot more difficult to take online than AP1.... My experience with aP1 for StraighterLine was good but I did get very annoyed that they didn't really give any feedback on the labs just a grade. The AP1 reviews were "ok" to ...

  14. WGU BSN prelicensure inquiry

    Even the 2 years before that it was in the 80s, the last round was the worst.... that's the only reason I can concerned. I'd rather go to a school with 90%+ first time NCLEX than one that recently only had 66% know what I mean? Idk when the 15/16 sco...
  15. WGU BSN prelicensure inquiry

    I think Straighterline is definitely a good way to get your pre-reqs out of the way of you want to start classes on your own time and need the flexibility of doing all the coursework at your own pace. However, they aren't that affordable, its 99$ sub...
  16. WGU BSN prelicensure inquiry

    It was Ok. My major was in physiology in college and I actually re-took AP2 at the local CC prior to enrolling in AP1 w/ SL... Therefore it felt like a lot of review for me. Even so, some of the questions are so specific that's if have a hard time be...

    Hi- WGU is the only program I applied to that would accept online courses. CSU-SM as well as the other ADN programs I applied to did not. however their expiration rules were much different as well. Wgu requires all those 3 classes to be at least 5 y...
  18. Grossmont Nursing Spring 2017 Cohort

    I believe so, they reach out to the next candidates -they must have a list considering I know some students drop off only after they do not attempt orientation which isn't till 12/3
  19. Grossmont Nursing Spring 2017 Cohort

    THANK YOU Emily :) ... Grossmont is my top ADN choice, therefore I would decline Palomar and Miracosta anyway even if they accept me later.... However, being that SD is such a ridiculously competitive market I think a second BSN might serve me bette...
