1. Western Governors RN-to-BSN: My First 6 Month Term (Almost)

   Joolsdoc replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors

   They should be honest, in my initial meeting with my mentor I filled out my goals and stated my top priority was to be done as quickly as possible. The mentors know that all the nursing classes can be done in 6 months. Whether or not WGU tells them t...

   Joolsdoc replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors

   Didn't say I was an expert. Just want to point out not to go by what other people's opinions are, because you still "hang around" people tend to go by those opinions rather than form their own.

3. Western Governors RN-to-BSN: My First 6 Month Term (Almost)

   Joolsdoc replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors

   Figured you must have been grads, but it doesn't make you an expert on the system. My mentor knew I wanted to complete this in 12 months. I had to do ALL the classes and finished half of them in 6 months. She is actually the one pulling up the classe...

4. Western Governors RN-to-BSN: My First 6 Month Term (Almost)

   Joolsdoc replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors

   Well I must be lucky and have a good mentor as I announced that I wanted to be done as quickly as I could and my mentor did not have a problem. A lot of these threads here and on Facebook seem to give a lot of negative feedback on what the competency...

   Joolsdoc replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors

   This is not true, I am in the program, my mentor knows I want to do as much as I can and be done quicker, she encourages me and moves up classes no problem. I have been in the program since Nov 1 and completed 45 credits. Only 25 more to go!

9. WGU RN-BSN October 2015 start date

   Joolsdoc replied to WandaRN2BSN's topic in Western Governors

   It took them about 5-7 days for me. They then email you a transcript evaluation with what credits transferred and what courses you need to take. Hope you have less than me! None of mine transferred. Good Luck!

    My recommendation is to sort out some sort of work visa. Most companies will sponsor you for a green card but in return you have to work for them for a period of time. Do the minimal commitment then you can be on your way. I know people who work at ...

    Joolsdoc replied to WandaRN2BSN's topic in Western Governors

12. RN-BSN

    Joolsdoc posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am currently in the process of getting started with my RN-BSN program. None of the modules I did during my diploma (from the UK) transfered so therefore I have to do everything. I am planning to do this online with WGU as they seem to be cheap and ...

    Joolsdoc replied to KulRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is not a scam, I am currently enrolled in this program. I had my nurse educator check it out and it is legit. Because you are practising as a nurse they count that as clinical time and your papers are relevent to your place of work. I trained in...
