Western Governor's university BSN & Southern California University of Health Sciences

Published

Hi! I'm wondering of anyone have heard of Western Governor's university & Southern California University of Health Sciences. WGU has BSN PRECLICENSURE program that enables experienced healthcare worker (ven CNA) to have BSN distance learning program if you live in Southern California. You have to have your Preqreuisites done before u apply to their program (see their website). http://www.wgu.edu/online_health_professions_degrees/bachelor_science_nursing_licensure

it doesnt say specifically what subjects and how many units though. I spoke to a counselor, they just started the program in Socal. He wanted me to apply and pay $50 to find out what I need, but why apply if I dont have any of the science classes yet? I was just getting info so I know if this is the path I should be going.

Anyways, there's this other school that I found out that u may take your 4-unit science class in 4 weekends (saturday and sunday)! Yes! it's located in southern california - whittier ca. Go to www.integratedscienceprogram.com Its through Southern CA University of Health Sciences. I love it because I can keep working but it's expensive - about $2000 per 4 unit subject. But i guess as long as u achieve your goal sooner then it's alright. They are accredited by WASC. West coast university accepts them if you take classes from them. I guess do your homework and find out if the school u'r going to will accept it.

My questions are: did anyone went to these school?

How was your experience?

I'm planning to take Anatomy and Physiology I and II and Microbiology at SCUHS starting this August.

Your replies are appreciated!

If you fill out the inquiry page and put the school you wish to attend they'll tell you which ones are accept but since they are regionally accredited from a reputable school you shouldn't have any problems

WGU was supposed to have started their first clinical group this month. Their second clinical group is supposed to start in January. I am in the process of getting started with them and have been waiting for quite some time to find out where I stand. I'm not in any particular hurry at this time. As far as the other school, if I were you I would do a lot of investigation before I got involved with them. You want to make sure that they provide what they say they will. Good luck getting started and getting finished.
