MSN - Education 2019

Hi! I started the MSN education program at WGU this past November. I finished the orientation and 2 classes so far. I'm finding it pretty straightforward so far but nervous about the field experience aspect at the end of the program. Mainly the part of finding my own preceptor....How's it going for you?

I went through the program a bit over a year ago. It's a good program. If you're really motivated, you can knock it out much quicker.

I started March 1, 2019... had originally planned to complete in one year, but realized quickly with my full time work and family life, this was unrealistic. So I'm going at traditional pace, and it still takes a lot of time! I do see people posting that they fly through the requirements... but I kind of feel like if I am getting a degree in education, better to actually learn than just check off the boxes, know what I mean?

I'd be interested to hear how long most people take to finish this program.

I am anticipating that it will take me 3 terms. I started in January. Completed RN to BSN at WGU December of 2019 so I am familiar with the structure of WGU.

Are there any OAs in the MSN-Education track? I am hearing that due to COVID19 the video proctor farms offshore are shut down and people who had OAs at the end of March were not able to get their OAs done.

I'm wondering if I should begin May 1st as I am planning to, or put it off a couple of months till the pandemic peaks and proctor services resume at whatever the new normal will be.

There is one OA in the MSN-NE track - it's in the last of the "general" MSN courses (C157).

I'm starting WGU MSN - Education this coming June 2020. I'm only working PRN at work and have no family. My goal is finish in 2 terms= 1 year. I know it can be done in 1 term but I want to make sure I'm prepared to educate others. I would like to know if anyone had success getting an online teaching job after graduation?

It can be done in one term ?

How ?

Can anyone provide insight as to how clinical hours are managed I.e. how many are required per week, max per day, per semester, total in the program? I'm currently in a MSN NP program (long story) but I'm having to drop out this term because of the effects COVID has had on my job and family. I need to switch to a program completely online and isn't so clinical heavy because I have to keep my M-F 10 hour/day job. My job was previously allowing me time off from work for school but not anymore.
