For more on how to complete this degree fast in one year or less, check out my website below. majormash.com Major Mash is an index website that provides information on ACE Credits (Study.com, Sophia, StraighterLine) and schools that accept their credits such as Western Governors University. It has a variety of spreadsheets which shows which ACE Credit Courses will transfer into that degree program. See which courses you need for your major and track your progress easily!
The 12 credits that they require have to be done in a six month term. Once your nursing term start date is set you cannot change it to sooner, even if you accelerate those last 12 credits. So really the program is two and a half years. I’m currently in the program and 100% recommend it.
@@Cathy-py2bkthere is a three week window for clinicals, and they can be any time during those three weeks. Holidays, weekends, and nights are all possible clinical days.
I just got accepted for the September 1st start date. just finished up microbiology lab i took 7 classes in 3 months with Sophia Learning have kids so that's fast for me :)
hi ! i am also doing sophia learning, did you talk to your counselor on which courses to take in sophia learning or did you find out yourself which ones were transferable?? Also good luck so excited for u !!!
I moved to attend my LPN program. I was ready to move anyway. Illinois programs are very expensive and moving allowed me to save completely on my program. My program was $6000 but I ended up getting everything covered because I found a grant. Mind you I have a degree already (2 to be exact) and I no longer qualify for financial aid. It was a blessing. Just do your research! I am definitely attending WGU. Studying for the HESI now and then I will finish up prerequisites. I plan to start once accepted in September or October if possible.
Is it worth applying to ? I’m deciding over WGU or my local community college I’m a mother as well and online would be easier for me but I’m worried if I can really learn the same way please give some tips
They just updated the program, and you can now accelerate clinicals, if they have space available in your district. I was told they estimate it will be about a 30% chance of accelerating a clinical.
@@DoctorDeeyIt’s not something that’s set in stone. I’ve heard other people mentioning this as well. However, I have a friend that did this and it ended up messing up her degree plan to the point where she has multiple clinical classes all in one term and WGU has been unable to fix it for her. I would personally caution against doing this. I know everyone is in a rush to get done, but nursing school is not something that’s mean to be quick.
@@alexsheppe Yes! You are correct. The school I attend has a RN program but has a waitlist so I did some research and found WGU and StraightLine and Sophia in the process and am using my refund to pay for the courses.
ACE Credits are credits you can transfer in from study.com, straighterline, etc, to complete a degree faster. These courses only take a few days each. Check out my Nursing spreadsheet on my website.
Nursing school is like a lot of other degrees. Take engineering. For example. Your first two years is doing all the maths and physics, and general education. The second two years is more focused on what engineering discipline you will be learning. Most degrees are like this. Also, those other schools that you can get your nursing degree in one year, not only do you need a bachelor degree, but you need all the prereqs that will can take up to a year to get before you ever actually get into nursing school. So they're not really only a year.
It's not accurate that WGU is the only college to complete a nursing degree in the US within two years. There are many other colleges can complete the MSN and BSN degree within 12 -21 months. WGU might be the cheapest one.
@MsTolatola If you are starting from complete scratch, no pre-reqs, using study.com and other ace credit providers, transferring them to WGU, doing their pre licensing RN Nursing program, would be the fastest way to do it in the entire country. All in all probably 2 years and 2-3 months.
planning it out now, would i be able to contact wgu and ask them what classes transfer. Im unsure if WGU will take my ' interpersonal communication as credit over public speaking Heath science math and intro to statistics, over business statistics I also have a general psychology credit that im wondering if it will be taken over intro to psychology
I have an LPN and am interested in the WGU Pre-Licensure Nursing Program and would love a fast-track plan. I went to your website. Are you aware if I would have to start from ground zero of if WGU will accept credits from my LPN program? Please help😩
I’m doing the same thing. Lpn here. I have some prerequisites done due to a previous degree but I still have all the sciences to do. Studying for HESI now and then I’ll start the prerequisites in July.
Is there a way I can do this with Rn to BSN Program? wgu isn’t offered in my state for pre-nursing. So I’m considering going to community college to get my RN license and transfer to WGU. I’m looking for the fastest track possible taking this route. Do you have any advice or tips?
@@alexsheppe what if im insure if some of the classes could be credited from an international bachelors degree? (I graduated at my home country) I wanted to know if they will credit some classes before I start taking prereqs bc that would save me time and money

Ypu are such a clear guy on thus topic .Thank you
How do we find what state can do this or not?

Thanks, I was wondering this.
How’s the clinicals? You know if you can pick your days?

@@meganvanscoyk8824 I was wondering if I can work using WGU's RN degree in California?
@@aroca3380from what I’ve heard you’d have to be endorsed in CA after receiving your license through WGU in a different state

Were the Sophia courses transferable?

@@FutureRN_Portia the workforce grant. They will pay for your program. Help with transportation costs. Uniforms and even help get you a computer.
@@marissachapman1022 oh nice just google that?

Accelerating a clinical?! Whoa! Need some more information on this.

I’m taking my prerequisites at community college and this is the route I’m taking. Thank you!
ACE Credits would be a lot faster, but community college works too!

Can you do modern states by doing the clep exam?

Can you make the course equivalent chart using Sophia learning classes please?
I have a bachelor degree in health care administration. I want a RN BSN . I want the shortest route
Do you live in one of the states WGU has the program?
@@alexsheppe yes I live in Houston Texas

Do they give you options to attend clinicals on nights or weekends
planning it out now, would i be able to contact wgu and ask them what classes transfer.
Im unsure if WGU will take my
'
interpersonal communication as credit over public speaking
Heath science math and intro to statistics, over business statistics
I also have a general psychology credit that im wondering if it will be taken over intro to psychology
You can get an associates and become an RN in 2 years and go from RN to BSN virtually.
WGU allows you to get a BSN in 2.5 years.
I have an LPN and am interested in the WGU Pre-Licensure Nursing Program and would love a fast-track plan. I went to your website. Are you aware if I would have to start from ground zero of if WGU will accept credits from my LPN program? Please help😩
I don’t think they would accept those :( but if you did any General Education, they will likely accept those credits.
I’m doing the same thing. Lpn here. I have some prerequisites done due to a previous degree but I still have all the sciences to do. Studying for HESI now and then I’ll start the prerequisites in July.
@@marissachapman1022I certainly would check with WGU to see if you could credit for prior learning.
Hello @Everyone does anyone know where I can take the Pathophysiology class online for free ? I already completed most of my Preqs with Sophia.
Do they allow science prereqs that are over 5 years? I took my science classes (API, Chem, Micro) in 1995.
They won’t. Sciences can only be 5 yrs old. I took all my prereq
Sciences 15 yrs ago and I’d have to retake them if I wanted to pursue WGU
Is there a way I can do this with Rn to BSN Program? wgu isn’t offered in my state for pre-nursing. So I’m considering going to community college to get my RN license and transfer to WGU. I’m looking for the fastest track possible taking this route. Do you have any advice or tips?
The RN to BSN won't have many credits you can transfer but you can accelerate the degree and do classes at your own pace.
Is this still updated?
Do you have a preference for one of the ace credit platforms? I’ve seen ppl advise against using particular ones.
I prefer Study’s interface and also no writing. Some people like writing but drives me crazy.
💙
Do you have to apply to the program first before taking these classes or is it better to do the prereqs first before applying??
I would take the classes first because the enrollment counselor might be pushy on you starting WGU.
@@alexsheppe what if im insure if some of the classes could be credited from an international bachelors degree? (I graduated at my home country) I wanted to know if they will credit some classes before I start taking prereqs bc that would save me time and money
@lalibelardo1706 Then apply now, but make sure you let the enrollment counselor know you’re gonna do ACE Credits before you start your degree.
👍💙
