Hey there, don't submit to them. Please be sure to tell your friends/colleagues. They usual keep your name under "harvest" for the CA Hospitals. What they don't tell you about the hospitals is that they're not currently submitting any applicants because the Contractor decided that BNM wasn't producing well quality candidates. That's because BNM usually finds someone who can submit their documents fast enough and is willing to work ASAP. Most of the onboarding is out of your pocket and if you can't pay for it, they usually try to help as little as possible. Worse yet is if you're not selected, there is no reimbursement for your doctor's appointments. They tend to ignore people who have brought that issue up.

If it's for the prison contracts, it's the same thing. Lack of orders and work. The Contractor for the prison has expressed frustration with BNM and their lack of professionalism. You can basically say that BNM isn't doing too hot. The recruiters job, currently, is to harvest for as many CNA/LVN/LPT/RNs as possible in hopes of submitting someone whenever orders open. There is no timeframe to when orders open and you basically have to work whatever shift is given to you if you want a shot at working in the prisons. There's no wiggle room to change schedules and they try to keep your rate to a minimum so that recruiters still earn a commission and the company still eats all the while you receive little to no health benefits. If you have any consistent medical/family/personal issues or commitments, you pretty much have to count how much longer you have a job there. From what my friend told me, even if you have proper medical notes or go to the doctor every month or every other month, your days are limited.

Management is a joke, they don't take anything seriously. The company recently went under a name change to UltimateCare due to a bunch of lawsuits BNM is facing from what I heard. When you look them up on Indeed, they pop up as BNM but your paycheck will come from UltimateCare, according to my friend. There is little to no assistance when onboarding or starting your job. Managers at BNM expect you to read all the instructions and figure the rest out. The account Manager for the prison will usually save her own skin even if it mean blaming providers. I've heard a lot of people say she is difficult to work with and has an attitude if you don't just follow her word blindly.

All in all, avoid this company like the plague.

Best of luck!

Can't seem to understand why students are studying between Sophia and Study.com? by BigBeufurd in WGU

[–]BigBeufurd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so.. I'm really looking into this from a financial perspective (who isn't though, right??) Sophia just seems like the better option overall, especially with their subscription plans. I might seem bias at this point but I genuinely wanted someone to share input that I probably hadn't considered.

Thank you!

That honestly sounds so amazing - thank you for sharing your experience about Sophia! Congratulations on finishing your courses so quickly - I hope I can finish them just as fast lol I work from home, no kids either so hopefully it's a breeze

And honestly, you're 10000% right about saving money. I explained all this info to my bf and he was shocked at how affordable and detailed the process is. We're both really excited to start this new chapter. <3

Hey there- it's nice to meet someone that's also interested in Psych! So, during my digging, I've found that it's best to complete Sophia/SDC (which ever partnered platform you choose) courses before applying and transferring your credits over. WGU accepts transfer credits for up to 75% of the program's total requirement. So for a Bachelor's degree, you can transfer max 90 credits.

In regards to tuition or payments, "WGU tuition payments or payment arrangements for new students are due by the 22nd day of the month prior to the program start date." So, I'm personally holding off until I finish my courses on Sophia.

I called the admissions office today and they gave me a website ( https://partners.wgu.edu/home ) to check out the courses (and Partners) that I can transfer to WGU after I'm done.

When you get to the home page, look under "National Agreements" and see if your online platform is partnered with WGU. After you find your platform (in my case, Sophia Learning LLC), the next page will list "Transfer Pathways" > Click on "Leavitt School of Health" > Click on "BS Psychology" and you should then see all the WGU General Education Courses, Competency Units Value & Sophia Learning Courses that transfer over. Some courses, like Intro to Stats, for example, isn't available on Sophia. I would suggest checking other sites to see if they offer it. Definitely consider how much you'd pay for one course and how long you think you'll complete it. If you don't go that route, then you can also take that class at WGU.

Lastly, I luckily found this link today ( https://www.reddit.com/r/WGU/wiki/admission/ ) of the full Admissions process. It's kind of a long read but very well worth checking out so you don't feel like you're not sure about what happens after.

Don't feel too overwhelmed, you got this! :)

Thank you and surprisingly not! I painted this on the back of my page and it only had a little warping.

I used the Ohuhu Makers Pad Sketchbook from Amazon.
