RN-MSN Leadership at WGU
-
0Nov 18, '13 by RnTech29Good Morning! I am starting the RN-MSN Leadership program at WGU. I have already taken some courses at WGU (RN-BSN) before having to W/D b/c of family issues. I decided to return at pursue the MSN instead. Now the COS has changed. I was wondering if anyone out there who is in the RN-MSN program under the new COS can tell me what they think about the program and how it is going for them. Thanks you. - 1,191 Visits

A lot from what I see. Course names have changed and a lot of classes were added (7-8). In all honesty, the course work looks a lot more like a traditional program then before. How many courses require objective assessments? I did not have to take any in the old program. Thanks. -

Having a MSN help you get into management positions as well. Unless youre studying to get into a NP program, does it matter if the MSN is geared toward leadership or education? i'm trying to decide if I should chose leadership or education track for my RN-MSN. Most people I know go for the education track. Any imput would be very help, thanks.

Whereas with a MSN in education, I think you are more pigeon holed into teaching. I have heard schools will allow you teach if you have your MSN period-regardless of whether it was in education or leadership. I plan to pursue my MSN in leadership.Robert.CFRN likes this.
