RN-BSN program for a Canadian nurse already working in the US

Not sure if you found what you were looking for but I am in a BSN program now. I had my 3 yr Ontario Diploma evaluated by WES. World Education Services which all the Universities I looked at accepted. If you have not started or found a program I have a lot of information. I researched the heck out of schools and can tell you who offered the most transfer of my credits to their program.

I had a course by course evaluation done by WES too. Many of my credits don't transfer because they are in French. I have to take so many courses. It's discouraging. I'm taking English Composition 1 right now. I need to take the TOEFL. Hopefully, after I'm done with English comp., I can get an exemption for the TOEFL. I will probably apply to WGU but I don't know how many credits will transfer. I have a long way to go.

How many credits did WES say you received from their eval? Did you get an equivalent to an associates degree? From my research Herzing, Chamberlain, Grand Canyon and St. Catherines universities were the best re transfer credit wise for me. They are more expensive credit wise but for me I am only taking enough courses covered under my employer tuition reimbursement amount. I know that Herzing and Chamberlain do accept credits that you can do through Sophia Learning which cuts down on the expense. I am doing 4 classes with Sophia as they are only $300 per course. I am not sure about the translation needed for the transcript in French so cannot help there. I am assuming you had it done already. I will say there was quite a swing from a high number of classes needed to the lowest of only 10. With the more expensive universities it all worked out cause it was less classes.
