RN to BSN Program Advice

Hi All, I wanted some advice on RN-BSN programs. I have applied to Ohio University, University of Louisiana Lafayette and Western Governors University. I have my ADN and a science bachelors degree from a university. I'm a mommy with little ones and I work per diem a couple times a month. Does anyone have recent experience with these schools and would you recommend them? Thanks so much for your time!

I started WGU's online BSN program in May 2014 with 34 credits to complete. I finished the program in 10 months while working 36 to 48 hours per week on the overnight shift. It was all very doable and easy for me.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm leaning towards WGU with all the wonderful things I have heard. I have two questions. I live in California and I know the community health requirements are a little different. Am I able to start logging hours after I complete the first community health class? Second question... I've been reading that several people are getting push back from their mentors with trying to accelerate their program. Did you experience this? Thanks again for your time and help!
