    NurseAshley. BSN, RN!!

    You are doing IT right? What types of jobs are you interested in once you finish? As for me, I'm thinking of getting my MSN in education. I would like to take a year off between degrees though, because I am worn out (LPN, then ADN, now BSN). I really...

    Thank you! It took me three terms. I could have easily done it in 2 terms if I hadn't procrastinated so much though.

    Has anyone quit wgu?

    NurseAshley. BSN, RN!!

    I finally finished my RN-BSN program at WGU and I'm so happy! What a relief, I am such a procrastinator and I really put forth a lot of effort in this program. I love learning though, and I truly took a lot away from this school. Can't wait for gradu...

    Physician Extender ???

    I am not an NP or PA, but my hospital uses the term LIP, Licensed Independent Provider. It sounds more respectful than Midlevel or Physician Extender.

    Pay for parking?

    I just started working at a very large hospital in a metropolitan area. I pay $30/month to park blocks away at an offsite lot, then I catch an employee shuttle to my building. It definitely adds minutes to the day, but at night and on weekends I'm al...
