  1. RN to MSN

    I would advise anyone considering the RN-MSN program to wait. There have been a lot of course changes and those of us in these courses are having all kinds of issues. I won't get into it here, just wait until these courses have been looked at and st...
  2. Shift Work in Nurses

    done! good luck with your thesis!
  3. Course changes at WGU starting 1/1/13?

    Nutrition has to be less than 5 years old and to get out of taking Biochem, you have to have had a class called "Biochemistry" on your transcript. Other chemistries don't count. Hope that helps!
  4. All State Nursing Program Forums now closed.

    great site!!
  5. Statistics online at Wgu

    @Reyval04 haha! No I did 33 cu's in 5.5 months!! It took me 3 weeks of 25 hrs a week of studying to pass stats. I was really stressed out like you are. I attended all the webinars and memorized terms and did the study guides. I compared my study gu...
  6. California Supreme Court ruled against us.

    My question is who is going to train the volunteers?? I wouldn't do it. I cannot "teach" 20+ years of nursing experience and 6+ years of education and expect a teacher to have my skills. Is the RN going to be held responsible when something goes wron...
  7. Taskstream assessments are the only one's you will submit for grading. I have never made a "concept map", which WGU seems to think are helpful but I think it's a waste of MY time. Look at the objectives in the COS and that will tell you exactly wha...
  8. asthma but no inhaler at school: wwyd?

    I have an "emergency inhaler" paid for by grant money and standing orders for the inhaler and prn neb treatment. So many parents have no idea how bad asthma can be because their child rarely needs treatment.
  9. Starting WGU RN-MSN Education program 3/1/13

    I am in the RN-MSN program. I already have a BS in Biology so I only needed Stats, Nutrition, Biochem, Care of Older Adult and Health Assessment as prereqs. If you do not have a bachelor's degree in something already you will have to fulfill all the...

    30+ hours a week!
  11. Starting WGU RN-MSN Education program 3/1/13

    I turns out that my mentor gave me some wrong information. She did not tell me that the "U" classes were the BSN-MSN "bridge classes. She said they were part of the MSN. So I decided to skip around and put off those "U" classes and instead I finishe...
  12. Shockingly Humbled

    WOW! You had me all the way!
  13. tatoos & piercings, part 2

    LOVE the Medic Alert tat above!! I have 3 tattoos, got my first at age 50 and I have always joked about getting "DNR" tattooed on my chest! Maybe not such a crazy idea after all.
  14. I love my MacBook Pro. Use my Dell for the proctored exams but as of early Aug will be compatible with Safari too so can use my Mac.
  15. Is there an app for that?
