Description
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is an accredited program designed to develop the professional knowledge and skills of working registered nurses. The curriculum is built upon a foundation of biological, physical, and social sciences, which contribute to the science of nursing. The liberal arts components enhance the development of the intellectual, social, and cultural aspects of the professional nurse.This instructional program includes behavioral objectives that concentrate on the development of the nurse's role as caregiver, teacher, and manager of care. Utilizing a self-care framework, working registered nurses are prepared as generalists who are able to apply progressional skills and knowledge to nursing, client, and health care systems.One hallmark of the BSN program is that there is no testing of prior nursing knowledge if the RN is in good standing within the state practice. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program has a 39-credit required course of study - 36 credits in the nursing major and 3 credits in the integrating course. These courses fulfill only part of the 120-minimum-credit requirement for degree completion.

The University does to a transcript review.
There is a admissions process, you have to be a RN in good standing in your state with work experience.
I love it.. It works for me and it is fully accredited.
To each is own I guess.
Good Luck

To be fair, many of my community college nursing instructors and colleagues attended UoP with no complaints that I was aware of except, perhaps, for the expense. So I didn't hesitate to sign up.
However, there were a bunch of red flags the first week of the program. Books I was told I didn't need to purchase were required which, was a little disturbing since the tuition is nearly $500 per credit. Then, at the end of the first week, I received an email stating that there could be expenses well above and beyond the tuition costs. It didn't say how much those expenses could be.
My husband attends CTU Online at half the price and the cost of all of his books are covered so ... I figured I better pull back and re-evaluate the program since I didn't want any major unanticipated expenses on top of the already expensive tuition fees.
Instead of allowing me to drop the course after just four days which is typical at traditional schools, I was informed I will be charged $375. This only confirmed my decision to withdraw from UoP.
Yes, UoP is more convenient but I just didn't feel comfortable with this school. There's no real admissions process or transcript review. They just want to get you in ASAP, get the student loans rolling so they can be paid.
While they do tell you there can be other costs, they don't really lay it out in detail like traditional schools. I've decided I'm going to attend a traditional, reputable college. Yes, it will take longer but I won't have to worry about being overcharged.
