  1. Cumulative GPA

    It's a 3.0 automatically because they do not grade on a numeric or letter based system. Either you meet the requirements of the assignment or you don't. Then you pass and move on. So at the end you have met all the requirements and they give you a...
  2. I echo the about comments about older nurses are going to be retiring over the next decade, so I don't think job opportunities will be difficult to come by. I work as an adjunct nursing instructor and I know several of my students had potential new ...
  3. I just got accepted to a Nursing PhD program for the fall! I'm excited and scared to death! There's not much info to peruse out there on the Nursing PhD.... Just wondering if anyone else is doing this journey right now as well.
  4. Consensus about WGU MSN grads??

    It's totally accredited, and becoming more well-known... I've seen the TV commercials now :) Instead of telling people why they should be concerned, just be confident and proud of your school work. When you graduate, list your degree with the gradua...
  5. Online Doctoral programs

    I did a lot of research for online PhD programs. I found that Villanova and the University of Central Florida have programs that are mostly online - I think at UCF you have to go to Orlando two times a year? I am not sure if that is feasible, but t...
  6. Schools that DO accept WGU credits/transfers

    I was accepted to the University of South Florida's Nursing PhD program after receiving my MSN at WGU. I was also encouraged to apply for my PhD with my WGU MSN degree by advisors at the University of Central Florida, George Washington, and Villanov...

  8. Wanted to contribute my two cents to this debate... I finished my MSN at WGU in Education in less than 4 months. Although I never intended to, the MSN program inspired me to pursue a PhD. I love online learning, but I wanted to attend a som...
  9. Just finished the MSN-Ed!

    I think it all depends on what you want to do. You should research the type of job you want and see what the desired qualifications are. In my experience, most places just want that check box for the degree. I was just accepted into a Nursing PhD ...

    Big congrats! It's a huge accomplishment!!
  11. Just finished the MSN-Ed!

    In the program, you have access to research databases and as part of the assignments, you will be looking into the evidence that exists already. You can pretty much determine on your own if you are finding a lot of results or not. The Capstone - for ...
  12. Just finished the MSN-Ed!

    I just now am seeing this so sorry for the late reply, but I will answer for any future reference... I also don't put explicitly that I finished my degree in 4 months on my resume. I put "March 2017" because that's when I got it, and my BSN was in ...
  13. WGU

    I recently finished the MSN-Ed at WGU. My tips: When you start the course, look at the rubric for the assessment first thing. Format your headings in your paper with the rubric headings so the evaluators can easily find your content. Pick topics th...
  14. Just finished the MSN-Ed!

    Good luck! It was a great experience for me. Each class had me feeling like I could really do something - conduct research, change a policy, etc.
