2. Should I go to WGU for my MSN?

   Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Western Governors

   That sounds awesome klone, to stay within your organization and have different options to choose from. I am still not sure what I want to do, but I do wish I had started this back to school thing years ago. Oh well, it is always better late than nev...

3. Should I go to WGU for my MSN?

   Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Western Governors

   You both reinforced what I was thinking and I really appreciate your feedback. I'm so impressed that you moved so quickly through the programs, featherzRN! I was actually hoping I might be able to complete my MSN in 6 months and I am feeling pretty ...

4. Should I go to WGU for my MSN?

   Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Western Governors

   Hi. I totally agree with you...group work sounds painful and I don't think I could do it. It sounds like I could work at my own pace at WGU, which is exactly what I want. I am one of those crazies who gets momentum when I start something new, ...

   Thank you for the positive response, klone. Congratulations to you for getting your MSN! Did you consider other programs also? If so, what was it about WGU that made you decide to go there? How many classes did you take at a time? How long did it t...

   Hi everyone. I am wondering if anyone out there has recently chosen WGU for their MSN degree. I have heard many different things about the program, especially regarding changes in the past year. How demanding is it? Are there required clinical hou...

8. Need help with graduation gift idea for new RN grad

   Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you, thank you, thank you again! I've pretty much narrowed it down to engraving a Littman stethoscope with her name & RN on it. Now, I still have to decide what to add to it, since this is a joint gift. Tote, lunch box, gift card, massa...

   Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in General Nursing

   So the Vera Bradley bag sounds really nice & I could fill it with goodies. Which style bag/tote would be good? Does anyone out there have the mailbag style? I think it looks pretty neat, but how is it size wise for nursing stuff? Also, the ste...

    Hi all nurses new & old nurses (like me). My niece is graduating from nursing school and things are so different today than they were when I graduated, I am at a loss for what to get her for a graduation gift. Any ideas of what might be most a...

13. UTA Starting Holistic Health Assessment 4-6-15...anyone else taking it, or any advice?

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in School Programs

    So I studied like crazy for the test and I don't think it really mattered much. It seemed like most of the answers were straight out of the book and if I could look things up in the index fast enough, I could find a lot of things. I hope this works...

14. UTA Starting Holistic Health Assessment 4-6-15...anyone else taking it, or any advice?

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in School Programs

    Hi, just got back my first assignment. I tried to follow the sample they gave us to the letter and even added more detail and I still got marked off for missing items! Not too bad, but I guess you just have to go for "overkill" on the descriptions....
