3. WGU Any advice for upcoming 2017 RN-BSN/RN-MSN students?

   Sully64 replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors

   There is not a lot of feedback yet on the new stats and biochem. Once a few people get through them they might be able to offer advice. Advanced Proff Roles just got way longer as well. The changes all seem to be slowing people down.

   Is anyone enrolled in this course yet? Just looking for feedback as it seems people are struggling to make the Live sessions fit in their schedule. Is it just for new students? My mentor doesn't check email outside of regular business hours and I'm ...

   There are actually 2 different health assessment classes that require videos. One is in the RN-MSN and there is an MSN version. The MSN version is a bit longer and more involved. Do not let this class scare you off it is not bad at all. Its a test, a...

   Does your employer offer any incentive for : BSN? Certification? Clinical ladder? What state are you in?

8. How much is a normal raise

   Sully64 replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

   I appreciate all of your responses. Now I feel much more grateful for even getting a raise at all. It is so sad to see that nurses just do not get pay increases like we used to. It is not surprising that turnover is so high.

9. How much is a normal raise

   Sully64 replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

   Good news! I asked to speak with my manager last week about my raise, and she scheduled an appointment for the end of this week. However, I got an email yesterday saying that my raise had been adjusted up another 1%. So I am guessing she knew what I ...

    Sully64 replied to twss2323's topic in Relations

    My employer is having a breakfast party one day, a lunch party another, and manicures another. They are being held in the administrative buildings, so no staff nurses will have time to leave the floor and get over there and back since its a pretty go...

    Our employer constantly brags that business is booming, and they just opened another campus. It is also booming. When it comes to staff performance and hcaps, they want us to "be the best of the best and strive for excellence " but when it comes to p...

12. How much is a normal raise

    Sully64 replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    I am the only one in my department on a committee, and I am the only one with a specialty certification which I earned this past year. And sadly, on my unit, being on time is pretty rare although I agree it is a normal expectation. We have really poo...

    I am feeling heartbroken. I work hard, I am always on time. I switch shifts all the time when asked by my manager last minute. I am on 2 committees that are extra. I am also back in school working on my BSN. Well, we just got our annual raise, mine i...

14. No response from Enrollment Counselor

    Sully64 replied to MsPebbles's topic in Western Governors

    My enrollment guy called constantly, but guessed whenever I asked questions and got a lot of his answers wrong. Not very knowledgable. Most info I found myself online. Once you are enrolled, you don't speak to them again, so you just have to get thr...

15. Mentors

    Sully64 replied to erinmichele's topic in Western Governors

    Not a fan of my mentor. While she's always polite, I have a lot of hurdles that other people do not seem to have and she always gives me things to do that are unnecessary. It seems like the mentors are getting tighter on everyone. I've considered req...
