I do not know what SNHU is, so I can't compare between the two. I received my BSN at WGU and have no regrets.

It was great. You can go as fast as you want. At the slowest pace, you will probably complete the program in 3 terms (18 months). You need to have a lot of motivation and self-discipline, because it's all at your own pace.

We have a forum here for WGU students (click on "students" on the yellow banner across the top, then possibly "online schools" and it should be a sub-forum in there). You can read all about the school and students' experiences there.

Klone: do you plan on getting your np? That's my only worry with going to western governors to get my bachelors, due to it being a pass/fail program.

I'm actually in a MSN for Leadership right now. No interest in getting an APRN degree of any kind. However, MANY WGU alumni have gone on to NP, CNM, CRNA, or dnp programs at other places. It has not seemed to be a hindrance in any way if you want to go on to further studies elsewhere.

This thread has been moved to the Nursing Online Distance Learning forum for more targeted feedback and suggestions.

BTW, I completed WGU's online RN-to-BSN program several months ago and really enjoyed the experience. Also, WGU's tuition is cheaper than SNHU.

I didn't know it was a pass/fail program. what could be the worst case scenario? Klone are you doing your masters in a different school or WGU?

Like I said, the pass/fail doesn't seem to be any hindrance
