School prospects with AA

Published

I am looking into applying at a school for my BSN into nursing. I currently hold an AA I'm business. I am understanding from some short research that I will still need some pre-req nursing classes before I can start the program.

My particular question is aimed at what school would be a good starting ground for me? I'm in the Kansas City area, I only work part time roughly 25 hours a week at an office and I have a 3 month old son. My spouse and mother (who is an RN) are more than willing to cover the basis of helping maintain my home for studies.

I am looking for the most cost effective route here. I keep seeing WGU as an option but I've been weary of its accreditation. Can anyone give some insight here?

Thank you.

Specializes in NICU, ICU, PICU, Academia. Has 46 years experience.

WGU's pre-licensure program is only available in Indiana, Utah, California, Florida and Texas. Unless you're willing to commute 4 times a year for two weeks each time, that is not an option for you.

Also: WGU is fully accredited and an National League for nursing Center of Excellence for nursing education.

Also: It's 'wary'

Thanks for the information. I suppose I spelled wary wrong as I am weary with a 3 month old!
