Hi, I’m from the Caribbean and I am so interested in following one of these programs but not sure which one is good for me😒

Can you put links up for all these schools? The websites are hard to navigate

Is there a way to find a BSN program that feeds into a Masters program?

It would be nice to know if the prices you are quoting are for in state tuition only or if the cost is the same for out of state applicants.

So accredited schools is the safer route I see. Thank you so much for this video. I’m joining one and starting in July. Pretty excited but wanted to make sure it was a safer route.

A big thing to consider is whether or not these RN-BSN programs are pass or fail, or if you get actual grades. CRNA programs in particular want to see actual grades. But if you’re wanting a BSN just to make yourself look better on a resume, then a pass or fail program will definitely be easier overall

Hello I am an RN and I keep hearing about WGU but each person has their own opinions about the program. They say it’s self taught..I’m pretty dedicated but I am concerned about teaching myself. Are there at least recorded class lessons to follow or is it just me reading and hoping I’m covering what will be on an exam. I just don’t want to cmmit to a school and then you have no guidance…I can’t afford to waste money like that. It’s the uncertainty that is holding me back right now. Thank you for your time and this video.

If I’m being honest. I learned more in a more “self taught” school than I did at Major Universities. The difference is being taught general concepts vs self taught you are graded on how well you apply the concepts to real life situations which helps you utilize it in your work more. That was a concern of mine as well.

I did! I'm not sure if you would have to if you already took it though.

All of these online programs you mentioned, are contingent upon completing certain general education requirements first, before you can apply. Prospective applicants may not have completed the required general education courses, especially in Florida, and will have to pay for those courses first. This adds to the length and cost of getting a BSN degree online. Also, in-state and out-of-state tuition is different for public state universities. Some private universities charge the same tuition for in-state and out-of-state students.

Also money can be a nice benefit for sure, but should never be the main impetus for any field. It’s just not worth it if it means spending your time doing something you do not enjoy, or even worse actually hate. Nursing isn’t easy. And quality patient care is so vitally important but I would imagine being difficult to give if your heart wasn’t really in it. If you feel you would enjoy the medical field, go for it.
