I am looking at online RN-BSN programs and looking at Western Governors University.
Are there any tests that have to be taken at testing centers, or are they all done at your home?
What if I have to take some of the general ed courses? Are these also done online? What about the tests?
How does the clinical practicum work?
Anyone went on to a MSN program at another university with a BSN from WGU? Any problems with the courses transferring?
My goal is to go on for my MSN for either NP or CRNA, so I am looking at the best way to obtain my BSN in the most cost effective way and in a timely manner. I work full time and have 2 small kids so driving to campus multiple days a week is not an option, and even going to a testing center for a proctored test every week is not ideal either. I am looking for a program, where I can do the work/testing at home and my clinical in the community.
I've been speaking with someone at the school recently, deciding if this is where I'm going or not...the Nutrition and Biochem requirements are fairly new, I think she told me in the last 3 or 4 months. Previously, if you had an AS, you wouldn't need those, but they've "upped the standards" so to speak. I'm hoping those will be the only requirements I haven't met, but I got my LPN from a vocational school, then AS from Excelsior....just waiting on all my transcripts to be evaluated to see how far out I am...
