SL and ABSN programs - sberhay - 07-23-2020
Hi there,
Wondering if anyone has any ideas for me.
My goal was/is to go to an accelerated BSN program. In my haste to figure out prerequisites and not thinking things through, I took my prerequisites through SL and Sophia. Unfortunately, when came time to apply, I found out that most schools do not take such prerequisites!
Anyone know of any ABSN programs that will accept SL and Sophia credits as prerequisites courses? Thanks in advance!!

Would WGU work? https://www.wgu.edu/online-nursing-health-degrees/bachelors-programs.html They should be more lenient in accepting ACE credits.

Thanks for the idea! I looked that up, I'm looking more for an in-person Accelerated BSN program that you finish with a BSN and are able to sit for the NCLEX.
Good point though that they are more lenient with the ACE credits.. I appreciate your reply!!

I think their BSN is at least partially in-person since it's only available to students in certain states. I do not have any personal experience with this, though.

Excelsior has 3 degrees in nursing.

If you are only interested in an in-person program, then you'll need to look at colleges around where you live. Many colleges and universities don't accept ACE credits.

Thank you,
It looks like their nursing programs are for those who are already RNs.
Right, that's my problem

They have a prelicensure program. It's available in CA, FL, IN, TX/NM & UT.

Whatever school make sure they accept Straighterline classes. Some only accept a specific number or ACE credits. I emailed a school today and they accept all my StraighterLine courses EXCEPT the science ones. So that schools out.

Have you considered TESU? Their ABSN program has a pretty good reputation and some of their classes are in person. They're based in New Jersey.
Also, Excelsior's program is only available in certain states because many states won't accept a Nursing degree from Excelsior for licensing purposes. From what I've read online, Excelsior's entire nursing program is online (minus the CPNE which I haven't heard great things about). I personally wouldn't reccommend Excelsior for a nursing program because you'd be very limited in where you can practice.
