WGU: Western Governer's University

Published

I've been researching RN to BSN programs and found this school. I like the website and the testimonials. I was wondering if anyone here has heard of it, participated in the program, etc. Thanks for all opinions!

I REALLY APPRECIATE U TRYING TO HELP :)))...I APPRECIATE ALL FEEDBACK. The thing is this, WGU doesnt offer NP. I'm not interested in the areas that they offer. If they had a NP option, I wouldnt be as torn as I am now. The program itself seems great and exactly what I need. i just dont wanna waste my time or have to take more classes later to make myself a competitive applicant for a graduate program.

Good luck to all who have a made up mind. I just not there yet :(

I am so glad I read your post! I want to go on for my NP so I was thinking go to WGU for BSN then continue on. Glad I know that I shouldn't go there. that's such a bummer :(

where did you end up going??

Specializes in NICU.
I have applied there & will be starting 11/1 if I don't change my mind. I applied to 5 schools including EC where I just graduated. WGU met all my criteria, accredited, great price (3250 for six months), transfer credits accepted, great customer service,and no group discussion & participation. I only require 23 credits to graduate, and I believe I can complete them in 6 months. My concern is my other choice, Thomas Edison State, I would have to do 28 credits but 9 of them apply towards an MSN which is great since the per credit price(340) is for BSN not MSN, but will take me a year to complete so choices choices choices!!!! When I was near completion for my LPN I knew I was going to EC. The choices are many however for the RN-BSN. I'll keep you guys informed of my new journey!

Just wondering if you went with WGU. If so how long did it take you and how did you like it?
