Doing Nursing WGU out of state./ teacher program - yb1 - 05-30-2015
The nursing program sounds real good at WGU and I would enroll in a heart beat. The only issue is that it is not offered in my state.
Is there ways to get around this? I live in Maryland. I could fly to the state for final exams.
Has anyone had any experience with this.
Also has anyone done or heard anything about the teaching program the teaching program seems kind of cool as well.
WGU sounds like an amazing school. The only thing I am not too thrilled about is the calls with a mentor I could see that getting kind of annoying

You would need to be in a state that offers clinical opportunities associated with WGU. If you are willing to move or fly on a weekly basis you may be in luck. Now things change, but this is what I was told by WGU when I inquired about the nursing program a while back. I suggest contacting WGU. I know nothing about the teacher program.

If you really want to know about nursing schools, post in allnurses | Nursing Community for Nurses & Students instead of here. Plenty of people at allnurses have first hand experience with WGU nursing programs.
If a nursing program isn't offered in your state, it is best to avoid it completely instead of trying to work around it. You won't be able to get licensed in your state of residence if you graduate from a program not approved by your state.

Thank you for your responses.
I was looking into the teacher program and it seems as if it is highly respectable. A lot of people have said that they have gotten jobs through going throughout the program and it sounds like the way it is structured can really help create good teachers.

Not doable. I was going to do my LVN to RN, but I can't even do it from Northern California, as they have clinicals in Southern California. They told me that you have to be there for about 3 weeks every couple of months because the clinicals can change from day-to-day based on their host hospitals schedule. They told me they wouldn't even consider me if I didn't live in the area.
