  1. Interview

    I'm in the exact same boat as you, well actually you have more experience than I do in some ways. I've been a nurse for over 12 years as well. I started out in a peds clinic, then moved to a postpartum unit where I was cross-trained into the Special ...
  2. Hi, I think I can offer some insight. I recently interviewed with both HR and the hiring manager for a different positron. Sadly, I wasn't offered the position but the experience with interviewing with UHG was helpful. I didn't have the virtual inte...
  3. How best to get a foot in the door for CM?

    Thank you StayatHomeNurse. Those are all very doable tasks I can work on while job hunting as well. I will definitely work on them. The wonderful thing is I have free access to a lot of CEU thanks to my college so I'll definitely start joining some o...
  4. How best to get a foot in the door for CM?

    Thank you MBARNBSN. I think appreciate the insight you have given me as well as the direction. I appreciate the help.
  5. bsn-msn

    I finished my MSN in education in February. It was a wonderful experience. Lots of hard-work and dedication on my part. I'm not currently teaching or interested in doing so. I wanted my MSN and figured the teaching track was more on level for me as a...
  6. Graduation rate

    Txredapple hit the nail on the head. I didn't find WGU that difficult to do as long as I stayed on task. The minute I skewed from my study regimen the tougher time I had getting back on task. The role of the mentor helped because I had to own up to b...
  7. My student mentor didn't even know about the change so she kept telling me to wait for the email to schedule my over the phone oral. I finally contacted my capstone mentor who laid it all out for me. 😅
  8. You're doing great! I finally wrapped up my MSN in February and what a load off my mind! The oral was crazy funny. They don't do the phone calls anymore but instead you download some software and have to do a power point and talk while being recorded...
  9. Hello, I've read through these forums at great length, so I do apologize if my question is redundant, but I've not seen much info on how to get started in case management. I'm a nurse with 13 years experience. I also have my BSN and MSN. I have wor...
  10. United Healthcare Telephonic Case Management

    Keep applying, but perhaps tweak your resume to really highlight your experience. Write a good cover letter that also highlights your past experience as a case manager and your telephonic skills. Do you have your BSN? I'm pretty sure if you don't, yo...
  11. Nursing Fear

    I've lost a few babies working in the NICU but peds is a scary new ball game. A dear friend of mine works in ped palliative care at our local children's hospital as an APN. At first I thought she was crazy. Now I think she's one of the strongest wome...
  12. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

  13. RN to MSN

    Hello, I'm currently in the MSN Education track but I'm doing the old track so I can't really comment on the changes. I also did my RN-BSN through WGU and received my BSN last February. I'm currently working on my capstone and hope to finish that by...
  14. WGU's New MSN curriculum

    I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. I actually changed from the BSN to the MSN track in the middle of my term. I had talked to ****and learned about the bridge program but I didn't like the idea of waiting, and in my case, postponing my graduating ...
  15. Pros/Cons of a Western Governors degree

    Ok, I'm seeing the bigger picture now thanks to your additional information. It comes down to a numbers game with credits earned and credits required...I understand that. I've always viewed my program as an RN to MSN, and to be honest I'll continue t...
