Nursing Students Western Governors

Published

Soo I guess it is now safe to say that I will be starting the RN-BSN program June 1st. I'm so excited to get started and already can't wait for it to be over :) Any advice or suggestions from former or current students about classes, time management, procrastination issues ( my worst), or other helpful insights they want to share so I can sail through these classes? Also any that is also starting in June please feel free to comment! Thanks!

I will be starting June 1 as well. :). I am hoping to be done in a year, I have 40 credits to complete. I'm most nervous about writing papers.

I bet bet we have all the same classes. It looks like you're a newer grad? At least you are still in school mode. It's been 15 years and I'm worried about getting back into the student mindset lol.

No sorry. I'm actually going to be in the pre licensure course. I'm a LVN already so I hope that this will help me. Congrats and good luck to all

Lol wow 15 years is a long time. I honestly cannot wait to be done with school all together. Yup, I think I've maybe had 6 months of break since 2012 and have been doing school ever since but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel :).

I'm also starting June 1st! I have 34 credits. I'm nervous about the online classes...and the papers. Do you need Stats and Biochem? Kinda stressing about those 2 courses! Ick.

I took biology course at my local community college back in 2009 so I was able to transfer it in so I was happy about that. I do have to take statistics though but from what I heard it is not very difficult. Is anyone starting in June willing to send their emails so we can be study buddies?

How different our perspectives can be!

It's been 44 years since I started my first college courses and 29 years since I graduated and it all simply sounds like fun to me. Writing seems to be a recurring issue with many, that seems a sad commentary on our school system.

(I'll be doing an RN>BSN from an ADN at "if" they accept my ooooooooold credits, if not then I'll probably go elsewhere.)

I was VERY nervous to start the program and each new course.

I'm about 80% done. I also procrastinate and didn't do very well in college (many years ago)

You will be fine. Just know you have to spend the time and it will be worth it in the end. I'm actually enjoying the nursing courses.

I start Stats in May. Very nervous about that.

Just remember, take it a week at a time and before you know it, the 8 weeks have gone by and you're done!
