1. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

   Redsox07 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors

   Hi, I was a WGU RN-MSN Education student. I graduated with my BSN in 2018. I chose to not complete the MSN Education. Why did I choose RN-MSN and not RN-BSN?: When I started the program, I very much was interested in getting my BSN but I was also...

   Redsox07 replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

   Hi kf-lagcc18, I really love your quote you post by your name "If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working for it".

   Redsox07 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors

   Hi, Cmr3009, if you are looking for FB groups, look for the following all of which I follow & have been very helpful to me: WGU RN TO BSN Support Group, WGU RN BSN-MSN-Support, and WGU RN to MSN Education.

4. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

   Redsox07 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors

   Hello hlnorrn, May I suggest that for info on WGU that you go on Facebook. They have FB groups for every WGU major and they are regularly updated. I am currently a student in the WGU MSN Education track, RN-MSN (just about getting into the bulk of ...

5. Good dialysis travel companies

   Redsox07 replied to Dani1995's topic in Travel

   Hi, I have worked as a travel nurse in chronic dialysis for 2+ years. I started with Foundation (2 assignments) and tried Quik Travel (7 assignments). I am now thinking about giving Renal Reserve a try. Really would like to find a place where they...

6. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

   Redsox07 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors

   I am so glad you posted (and also Kciccone). I am doing the RN-MSN Education degree at WGU. I am 3 courses away from fulfilling the credits for my BSN and have been thinking about going elsewhere and completing an FNP (instead of the MSN Education...

7. Undergrad Debt and going for NP

   Redsox07 replied to peaceful2100's topic in NP Students

   Do you ever read any of Suze Orman? I really like her (I know some people might not) anyhow - she talks about how school debt is a great investment into yourself. I say go for it. Talk to some doctors, they have all kinds of debt, deep into the 6 ...

   Redsox07 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors

   Hi Nitfree, I am just starting Community Health C229, the field experience. I can let u know how it goes, but I am thinking it might take me maybe 10 weeks to finish it (more or less). My biggest hurdle was finding an approved site. My understand...

9. Community health OA

   Redsox07 replied to Bleote's topic in Western Governors

   Hi Bleote, Don't be nervous. Know this - YOU WILL DEFINITELY get through this OA. By the end of the course (like me) you will be surprised what new things you've learned. You can post questions here on allnurses or look on the web for help. the n...

10. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    Redsox07 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors

    I wish you best of luck with this, too. I've noticed it's hard to get good info about WGU to NP. I am just about finished with my BSN at WGU. I'm hoping WGU is able to offer NP sooner or later. Have you called any NP schools you're interested in ...

11. To take at local community college or when I'm at WGU?

    Redsox07 replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors

    Take it through WGU or somewhere similar. One thing I think is not really written much about all the money saved by going to school online. - I can not believe how much time and energy I am saving (at WGU) in terms of NOT having to deal with parking...

12. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

    Redsox07 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors

    I am in the middle of the WGU RN-MSN Education track (looks like I won't be finishing the MSN until Spring 2017). I was wondering - for any other MSN graduates, what kind of work can I look forward to applying? I started this whole thing because I ...

13. Appealing Work Returned for Revision

    Redsox07 replied to NevadaFighter's topic in Western Governors

    When I have had different papers require revising, I must admit, the thing that hurts most is my pride. I really wanted to be one of those WGU students that gets through the entire problem not needing a single revision.... But, whatever, that ain't...

14. Do WGU graduates find jobs?

    Redsox07 replied to Stargate Atlantis's topic in Western Governors

    I am glad to see the comments above about life as an EMT-B. Studying for my pre nursing school classes, I worked as an EMT in Inglewood, California. We were earning like a dollar or two more than minimum wage but it was the most fun I ever had. I ...

15. RN to MSN for the new RN

    Redsox07 replied to tecj's topic in Western Governors

    I think you'll be fine. And I think just about any future employer would agree - you are doing the right thing. I really, really love the flexibility of WGU. All kinds of things have happened in my professional and personal life since I started W...
