DO NOT GO HERE! RN-BSN Program
I never write reviews for anything. Good or bad. I was in the RN-BSN program. Worst educational experience I’ve ever had. The requirements for placement to complete clinical hours are ridiculous. I have tried for over a year to find a clinical facility that will accept a student for preceptorship. The only thing WGU does is “help” you find places. Like I can’t do that myself? I’ve tried everywhere and get ghosted or rejected. I finished every course in 4 months. But now that I can’t find a preceptor, they blame me and charge me 1400$ for a new semester to complete this ONE class. Im a single income household and have to work well over 40 hours as an RN to support my family in this price gouging era we’re currently in. Why am I expected to pay 1400$ for a course when everyone in my region won’t accept me? Again, the only “help” they gave was giving me locations that could POSSIBLY accept me and I was always met with apathy or confusion because it’s an RN-BSN PROGRAM for goodness sake. This place is very much part of the racket that’s taking advantage of nurses that want a useless nursing bachelors degree. If some WGU rep reads this, here’s my advice: Stop punishing students who can’t find preceptors in time. We pay YOU to provide a service. YOU should be making the calls and finding the sites for the students.Full-time working Students shouldn’t have to go through the work of going door to door or making countless cold calls to be rejected for a “preceptorship” outpatient clinics while the school sits back and does nothing but act as the middle man when emailing administrators of these clinics and writing up some cookie cutter contract to cover yourselves. Anyone who reads this, DO NOT ENROLL in this school. They will find a way to scam you out of money. It’s a lazy, copy and paste, cooker cutter, pathetic excuse of an educational system.
