Wayland Baptist Online BSN Program

PARAMURSE Wrote:They weren't jerks about it, she just said they had a board that decides what they want everyone to take to represent a well educated Bachelor's level degree that speaks highly of their university, that sort of thing, and that she can't just override it.

Each class had it's own reason, and some were admittedly a stretch on my part. I took a year of Bio for science majors, but I needed specifically a micro class. I took social psychology, but that counted as a psychology in relation to society, not as a sociology class that I need. I took 'masterpieces of the western world', and it counted as world lit, but not american lit or british lit. I took a year of paramedic school, but none of that counted for my health class (as mentioned). The Old and New Testament classes have to be specifically taken at a Baptist school. I tried to pass my experiences with everything from delivering babies to holding the hand of the dying elderly, crossed with my 9 hrs of psychology, and get out of Human Growth and Development: to no avail. Her answer was basically, "if you think you know it, CLEP." So here I am.

I know you can take many of the pre-reqs along with the nursing school, but I'd like to keep my nursing load light so I can keep those grades up.

The good news? I just got an email 2 weeks ago that they DROPPED THE TUITION RATE BY 10K for the program. So I plan to suck up the massive pre-req load, as it's one of the only full BSN programs online where I can do the clinicals in San'Tone.


Got it. Well, you shouldn't have any trouble with HG&D. That was the first exam I took "back in the day" and I just used an old discarded text book from the 70's lol. (it was free) I found that test to be very predictable. Welcome to the board btw, and congrats on getting started!!
I just got my acceptance letter today for my local accelerated BSN. I've not decided on enrolling yet, it's very expensive and very much on a crazy schedule that would create an upheaval in our family....but oh is it fast. I'd hold that BSN degree in my hand on August 2012 and be off to Hopkins' MSN/DNP midwifery program by Sept (lol one can hope). But, I'm still not sure I'd rather go to nursing school than med school, lots of decisions.

You really should ask this question at allnurses.com. This is not the place to get comprehensive advice on nursing programs.
