  1. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    I would definitely be proactive and get those course descriptions if you can. I emailed someone at my CC ADN program and she emailed me the course descriptions the next day and I just forwarded those...

  2. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    I did hear from them again today, after sending them course descriptions for my science courses and they have re-evaluated and given me credit for A&P and Microbiology. Whew!! I am going to call...

  3. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    After 4 months, I finally got a transcript eval email from WGU Friday afternoon at 3:30 PM -too late to call and discuss, have to WAIT through the weekend AGAIN! Biggest frustration now is that they...

  4. WGU starting tomorrow!

    metroishka replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Hmmmm. So if I were to say "Please WGU, please finish my transcript eval so that I can begin my courses", someone would hear me? It's been almost 3 months

  5. WGU starting tomorrow!

    metroishka replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    This is one of my fears- that they will propose a course of study then change up on me after I register and

  6. WGU starting tomorrow!

    metroishka replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I don't know the answer to that, but I know what you mean. Arizona State will only accept x# of my community college AASN credits. In my conversations with the WGU enrollment counselor, I was not...

  7. How's Omaha?

    metroishka replied to TESC'10's topic in General Nursing

    Nurseatlast gave you a lot of good, accurate information. I have lived and worked in Omaha for 25 years. Creighton is a highly respected school. When I was in nursing school, it was the oo-la-la if...

  8. What are the best wound care resources available in Nebraska

    metroishka replied to LisaCarroll's topic in General Nursing

    The Nebraska Med Center in Omaha is excellent in all areas. Also one of the hospitals in Lincoln (St Elizabeths) is a burn care center, so I would expect that they have decent wound care clinics also....

  9. WGU starting tomorrow!

    metroishka replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I have an AAS and I will be able to tell you once my transcripts are done (next week, I'm hoping). Based on transcripts reviewed from Walden and Ariz State Univ, I am expecting to have to take...

  10. WGU starting tomorrow!

    metroishka replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I have come to the conclusion to take everything with a grain of salt when applying to these schools. Enrollment counselors tell you what you want to hear to get you in the door, you are drawn...

  11. Information needed for my foundations final paper! :(

    metroishka replied to Katieour's topic in General Nursing

    That was really nice of you to help her out Kooky. I think she appreciated it a lot! Good luck Katieour, love your

  12. WGU starting tomorrow!

    metroishka replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I was hoping to start tomorrow too, but am STILL waiting on transcript review. This has been a much longer process than I anticipated (started June8) and has caused me to look elsewhere. I haven't...

  13. Question about WGU RN-BSN

    metroishka replied to NAURN's topic in Western Governors University

    It does kind of make you wonder if they will change things up on you once you are enrolled and pay $$. So are you on target for starting Sept 1? I am sooo anxious to hear about my transcripts.. I...

  14. Question about WGU RN-BSN

    metroishka replied to NAURN's topic in Western Governors University

    What do you mean they have changed their policy? I am still waiting on my transcript review- not too happy at the moment as it should have been done the 10th. I was so excited about WGU, but am...

  15. interview today...only went ok

    metroishka replied to RNin'08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    FWIW, my observation on the hiring process recently is this: our managers ultimately hire the person that is the "best fit" with our current staff. It seems to me that someone could be the best nurse...

  16. My WGU update

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    Congratulations! Yay, I am so happy for you and hoping I can follow your

  17. My WGU update

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    Toronado- enrollment counselor told me last week that she thought that Sept 1 was still far enough away that there wouldn't be any problems. My problem is that the more I read of other programs,...

  18. My WGU update

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    I agree, it's hard to be motivated when you're not interested. How many "other" classes do you have to take outside of the nursing courses? I am awaiting my transcript review and afraid that I will...

  19. My WGU update

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    I usually like to get the hard work out of the way first, so I appreciate that insight. Big question- did you enroll in the RN-MSN program at the beginning, or did you do RN-BSN and now enrolling in...

  20. My WGU update

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    Thanks for the update Lisa! You are amazing- I am so impressed with your progress! I am planning on starting September 1 if all goes as planned. I can read, write and do 'rithmetic, but am anxious...

  21. Exhausted... lost all momentum... one more to go...

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Students

    FosterMom, have you completed the enrollment process? I have applied, taken the assessment tests and had my phone nterview. They should have my transcripts by now- i have a phone appt with my...

  22. Exhausted... lost all momentum... one more to go...

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Students

    Since WGU is continuous enrollement, how does it work taking time off? Also, did you enroll in RN-MSN or RN-BSN? I'm having a hard time understanding (from my enrollment advisor) the reasons for not...

  23. Exhausted... lost all momentum... one more to go...

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Students

    Lisa1980, I have been watching your posts (stalking maybe?) because I am in the process of applying and enrolling in the same program. I have admired your enthusiasm and followed your progress (hmm,...

  24. Has anyone graduated from Aspen University RN-MSN?

    metroishka replied to metroishka's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I am still in the application process, but am now leaning towards WGU because I don't have the required prereqs for Aspen. I can take any needed prereqs...

  25. Any RN in the surgical world got a few moments....

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Nursing

    I work in PreOp and PACU and would be glad to try and help you out. Are you talking about a specific surgical procedure (appy, knee replacement, etc) or perhaps the procedure of getting the patient...
