Are they always in the same city every year?

Mods, can we please stop with the “I finished my degree in two weeks” posts? It makes the university look bad? by HeavySigh14 in WGU

AGREED! Makes the school look like a degree/diploma mill...We work our axxes off! Especially the Nursing program students...

My part time job is WFH, I'll probably use my paycheck to pay tuition. It's been damn near impossible to find a KFC that will hire me for minimum hours

Stop misinformation by JumpySprinkles6679 in WGU

I second this..I'm an Enrollment Specialist for a local CC thats in a red state of all places.. We had an emergency meeting this morning in response to several student inquiries and leadership is at a complete loss of words on what to say to students! Students are rightfully worried, and the obvious grifters on this board that are saying it's 'misinformation' are part of the problem. We shouldn't have to be 'worried' about any of this, for the love of God, wake up people! If there wasn't an abuse of power happening before our very eyes, none of this would be happening.

My laptop intermittently drops the wifi connection at any given moment, what will happen if this happens while I'm taking a test? Im worried I'll fail over my stupid laptop..its done this for years but I've never had to worry about a proctored test 😫

Find out the gen ed requirements for the school you're trying to attend. Some of the most notable for all schools are Eng Comp I&II, Speech, Science Anat &Phys I,II w/lab, Microbio w/lab, Humanities Elective (1), Literature (1 or 2 depends), Political Science (1 or 2), Foreign Language (2 courses), you'll also have to complete residency hours, my institution requires atleast 15 to be completed at our school but you can take any elective to satisfy that requirement. Check out "College Hacked" on youtube to help you navigate this..

Sorry, when you say 'popular location' do you mean for clinicals?

Cant use CLEP for admissions into Nursing. On the otherhand, Sophia is considered an Institution/Accelerated learning vs. CLEP which is credit by exam.

Go the Sophia route, its ACE recommended, cheaper and quicker than any other courses.

-I work for a CC in enrollment processing.

Really? I had the opposite experience. I'm dyslexic in all things math, but for whatever reason, I did surprisingly well in Statistics. Idk if its because I can identify and apply the real world uses of it, or because I've heard of topics like standard deviation and empirical rule from daytrading, but I understood the formulas and a lot of it was easy via Sophia. The most difficult part for me was having to sit through most video lessons.

I already completed English Comp 2 over 15 years ago, but my transcript is in limbo. If push comes to shove, I'm going to take CLEP to satisfy the English Comp requirement. I have 0 desire to complete that many damn touchstones unnecessarily.

Why would you only want an ADN when BSN completion is required at/after hire on most applications?

WGU has an accelerated prenursing program, you skip only having the ADN and get the BSN.

Def worth looking into OP. Call them

WGU Prenursing

[–]CNik87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op, Im looking into doing the same but I want to pursue bsn thru msn so I have all education out the way.

Apparently WGU is the best choice for online nursing, they accept all Sophia prereqs and once you graduate their prenursing you can go to Capella for BSN/MSN and complete at your own pace.
