   metroishka replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

   Rarely do I get caught up in these kind of threads, but this really has my dander up! Despite mclennan's assertations, those of you who are considering enrolling in WGU BSN or MSN program will be...

   metroishka replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

   How many courses have you done since October 1st? It can't be too many, and if it is, then I applaud you for your ability to fly through the program with ease. Most of us are going back to school to...

3. WGU MSN in 6 months

   metroishka replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

   I take offense to the monkey reference also. I am almost done and it was not easy and was very time consuming. Unless things have changed, there are no discussion boards requiring a person to post...

4. WGU class name equivalents

   metroishka replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Western Governors University

   I'll answer this the best I can related to my own experience as a going-on-2 month student at WGU. BBC 1 IS basic college level English. I had to take it, much to my chagrin. But, it is not hard if...

   The webinar on the community board says that you do not necassarily have to use a researcher, you can use someone that uses research. I used a CNS from our ICU that helped develop evidence based...

   metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

   Good advice, I think. I started out by dutifully reading all of the assignments, but think I am going to just start focusing on the tasks and reading what I need to complete those. The reading is...

   I submitted my first task in NVT2 today, working on the other 2. Citing references was the hardest part and the thing I am most nervous about. I have PERRLA which helped in writing the body part of...

   The facebook idea sounds good to me. I like checking out WGU facebook page too. I completed my first task (of 3) for NVT2 today. I just got my AAV on Thursday night, so I feel I'm off to a slow...

   I peeked at several of them and maybe I shouldn't have- it is almost overwhelming to think about all that work to do! Can you say "cold feet" "buyers remorse"? Ok, deeeeep breath here and I'll be...

    Got my emails too. One from my mentor, I have to send her a time when I am available to chat and "get to know one another'. The other re: EWB preparation. Guess the homework is starting!

14. I have hit a brick wall!

    metroishka replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I wish I had the magic " get your groove back" medicine, but I don't. I would be upset too. It doesn't make sense to me why an RN has to go back and take A&P. It doesn't sound like you are...
