1. What does your schedule look like?

   ReggaeRN replied to Bruno1968's topic in Management

   I am fairly new to my current position (OB Director) and my first round of employee satisfaction results scored unusually low in "my boss is a good communicator." I was floored, as I feel that I over-communicate. In meeting with staff one-on-one, I...

2. dress pants with danskos

   ReggaeRN replied to M610's topic in Management

   I am the OB Director in a hospital, and I wear Danskos quite often, but NOT the typical Professional clogs. I have found several pairs of shoes and heels (not ridiculous high heels but heeled mule/slide-style or closed back) that look really nice bu...

3. Online colleges - self-paced schools?

   ReggaeRN posted a topic in Online Learning

   I am a student at WGU in the RN-MSN (Education) program. I have had a REALLY great experience and have a very specific question for you all. Is anyone else in a self-paced program at an entirely-online college/university? The reason I am asking is ...

4. Financial aid & tuition reimbursement question...

   ReggaeRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I received federal loans after completing a FAFSA, something that completely impacted my ability to go back to school. My employer offers tuition reimbursement, but their process is somewhat backwards (and probably common): you take the class, pay fo...

5. Bedside Reporting starting Monday :(((

   ReggaeRN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Professionalism

   PSU 213, is there any way you can help me to get in touch with the individual(s) that developed the process AND education for the bedside handoff? I am wanting to implement this in our facility, but when we attempted to do so in the ED, the negative...

6. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

   ReggaeRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors

   IMHO: don't waste your time on any part of any COS unless the material is unfamiliar and you need to study to learn it. The tasks in taskstream and the objective assessments are the only things graded, therefore the only things required, to pass. The...

   ReggaeRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors

   If your nutrition course was part of the nursing curriculum, meaning a "nursing" type nutrition course, I wouldn't bother challenging it. My nutrition course was accepted but it was a 3-HR "Intro to Nutrition" that was required for the nursing progra...

8. WGU RN-BSN 11/1/11 start

   ReggaeRN replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Western Governors

   I took "Fundamentals of Chemistry," a 4 credit hour course with lecture and lab, at a local community college. It was accepted for the chem requirement from WGU. Not sure if that is helpful info, but if you've taken something similar I would defini...

10. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    ReggaeRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors

    My counselor said that I should hear from my mentor by the 1st, or they would possibly call/email to arrange a time to talk by the 1st. Assuming that's true for everyone. I'm more excited/anxious than nervous. Just glad everything (transcripts) go...

    ReggaeRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors

    BetterMeRN, If you have a copy of the transcript maybe see if they will evaluate based on your copy til they can replace with official transcript? Just an idea, I know it's frustrating!

    ...which seems like a good decision to make for yourself in the situation you are in! :) Good luck to you!

14. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    ReggaeRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors

    I know that when I asked about financial aid, my counselor mentioned that for government purposes, you are considered "fall" term start if you start anywhere between (I think) July and December, and spring if you start between January and June. Mayb...
