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

    metroishka posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am ADN looking to get at least my BSN, but am seriously considering the MSN after finding Aspen. I have narrowed it down to Western Governors and Aspen. Aspen wins for cost$$ and probably shorter...

  2. WGU MSN in 6 months

    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...

  3. WGU MSN in 6 months

    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...

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

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

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    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...

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

    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...

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

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    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...

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

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    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...

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    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...

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    Module 2 completed. Going to take a break now. I don't think there is a huge rush because I won't speak to my mentor again til Thursday, so there will be nothing else open for me until then. I'll use...

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    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!

  15. 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...

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm losing complete faith in them regarding an Oct. 1st start date. They still haven't done my transcript evals, and they're asking for a money from me for tuition that is due this Monday. Yeah,...

  19. Vaccination Waiver Please Help Quick!!

    metroishka replied to HHagedorn's topic in General Students

    It is my understanding that the healthcare institutions that are mandating the vaccine (and the trend is that they all are moving toward it) are somewhat different in how they handle those who refuse...

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    You are so right Angela. I didn't think I would ever do this- been out of school a long time and am quite comfortable in my skin. I don't have any particular need to put myself through this, but I...

    metroishka replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    Approximately 2 years, which I hope is close. I am hoping to get through the basics as quickly as I can. It has taken me from June 8 (first contact with WGU) til now to get enrolled. It took a long...

  23. WGU lab kits

    metroishka replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    How long do you have to keep those little gems in your house? Do you have to store them in your fridge?! Ugh. Guess you will be working fast on this

  24. WGU RN-BSN in 6 months??

    metroishka replied to thecoolnurse's topic in Western Governors University

    The entrance exam isn't bad. I brushed up on math and algebra by googling some math sites and doing practice problems. I got a 95% on the math portion. The English "test" was writing a short essay...

  25. WGU MSN

    metroishka replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi Lisa, your ears must be on fire- several of us have been wondering what you're up to. Glad to hear you're on track for the MSN- did you originally sign up for the RN- MSN, or did you just sign on...
