Hi, I'm new here and am fascinated with the wealth of knowledge that's available here.
One would think that a guy that has a BS/Chem and a B/S in Safety studies and an Assoc Degree in Nursing would have enough, but no, my employer says that all RN's must have a BSN (BS-nursing) so back I must go for more BS. I liked the idea of WGU and yesterday came very close to plunking down my $3742 (nursing has many extra fees). But they would not guarantee a 7/1 start and if they shunted me to the next month my employer's contribution would be lost (for 2015), so I backed out. I'll likely schedule their RN > BSN next year. In the meantime I'd like to whittle down transferable pre-reqs with the hope that I can finish my BSN in 6 months or less (1 semester for WGU and only 1 payment).
Even though my degrees are 10, and 22 years old they did accept quite a lot. I'm left to do sociology, anthropology, biochemistry and statistics. StraigterLine has a good looking soc and anthropology course so I'll take them this summer. But SL has no biochem and it appears that the stats course they offer will not transfer.
Does anyone know of a good stats course and/or a biochemistry course. Neither should be a high-level course, both should be an intro to sort of course.
Thanks all.
