No one ever seems to be in the RN-MSN Leadership/Mgmt track. What's up with that?
Actually, we did a poll on our FB page, and it seemed the majority did the leadership track. I guess most of them just don't post here? I will be doing the Leadership track (I start in June, I wanted to take a few months off to catch my breath before diving back in).

Any info on accreditation and getting hired after rn-msn leadership? How have employers looked at this school?
It's a fully accredited, completely legit school. Employers look at it as they would any other MSN program.

I think there's a good amount of us doing ADN to BSN. I know I am and a few of my friends are. They all loved taking the classes and I can't wait to start mine!
Still debating if I should go to community college to get adn. Later use western route to get Bsn.
But I was told to get Bsn via western directly to save time and cheaper too. I thought community college adn is cheaper tuition fees
Anyone share the experience these two options. Pros and cons
WGU only offers the pre-licensure program in a few states. I'm not sure which states those are (Indiana, Texas?).
Does that mean I can only work for those states. Other states won't recognize western degree and neither does the license ?
No, it just means you have to move to one of those states in order to go to school for pre-licensure. And to do clinicals.
Southern California, Texas, Florida, Indiana and Utah.
So unless you live in one of those states (or have the ability to move there for a few years), it would probably be more advantageous to get your ADN locally, then go to WGU (or Western Governors, nobody calls it Western) for the RN-BSN program.

Hi all,
I'm so envious of these ladies who have achieved their BSN & MSN! You guys are awesome!
I hope to get a BSN, if I can get through all the tests, papers,etc....
I so want to do this :) I'll have a year of pre-reqs to do before I can even start on the BSN ((
