   Hi TWiersch - I'm in the RN to BSN program.

2. Pros/Cons of a Western Governors degree

   LoveToHike replied to bbothwell's topic in Western Governors

   I feel like the pros and cons are different for everybody and will depend on what's important to you. For myself, I was looking for a school that didn't require group work, was affordable, and I could do at my own pace. WGU fit all those so they ar...

3. RN-BSN ..... question on "terms" and graduating

   LoveToHike replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors

   I'd read that you pay $217/credit hour if you have less than 12 credits at the end of your term. It didn't say that they bill you for the whole term (3250) and then reimburse you. That wouldn't really make sense if you only have a few credits to fi...

4. WGU RN-BSN in 1 1/2 years??

   LoveToHike replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors

   I started 3/1, work FT, and hope to get it done in 1 term. Since you only work 1 day/week you should easily be able to get it done in 1 term. P.S. my mentor is awesome! I think I hit the jackpot with her.

5. Starting RN to BSN 3/1/13. Who's with me?

   LoveToHike replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors

   That's too bad! I didn't mind the class, but wouldn't look forward to taking it again especially since I'm trying to finish in 1 term.

6. Starting RN to BSN 3/1/13. Who's with me?

   LoveToHike replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors

   Thanks for the info. I've learned (and relearned) a lot in the Health Assessment class. I'll be glad when the test is over... Why are you taking stats again?

7. Starting RN to BSN 3/1/13. Who's with me?

   LoveToHike replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors

   How has the stats class been? Is it a lot of calculations or is it mainly terms and concepts? I'd already taken it before starting WGU, and I've wondered how WGU's class compares to what I took. How was the test for Health Assessment? I'm schedule...

8. I am 24 days into WGU's RN-MSN program and I love it,

   LoveToHike replied to skoolrn's topic in Western Governors

   Hi travelovingnurse - I also started 3/1 and am very happy with WGU so far. I had also worked through most of the Informatics course before my mentor suggested I work on Health Assessment while they fixed Informatics. That part was a bit frustratin...

9. Bursar's office at WGU

   LoveToHike replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors

   There's a check box on the 2012 1098-T that I have that asks if "the tuition is for a period starting Jan through March 2013."

10. Bursar's office at WGU

    LoveToHike replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors

    I had paid in December for an anticipated January 1 start date. I postponed my start date until March 1. After the Bursar's office refused to give me a 1098-T, I went to an IRS office and asked an agent very specifically about my situation. The IR...

11. WGU RN to BSN Summer/Fall 2013

    LoveToHike replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Western Governors

    I graduated in June of 2011 and have worked as a nurse since Oct 2011. I started the RN-BSN program 3/1/13 and like it so far. I have a great mentor and the classes are not that hard. Computer support people are great. The class focus isn't the ...

    Anyone having problems with the bursar's office? I can't get my 1098-T out of them.

13. Starting RN to BSN 3/1/13. Who's with me?

    LoveToHike replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors

    There's a few of us on AN that are starting 3/1. Nikkibobicky you should have been contacted by your mentor already. I've been in e-mail contact with mine already. You might want to contact your Enrollment Counselor and ask.

14. New Policy at WGU regarding admissions

    LoveToHike replied to hailey1122's topic in Western Governors

    Can you volunteer somewhere and have that "work" count?

    I'd love to hear from others who are starting the program on 3/1.
