  1. Graduate / doctoral admissions with WGU degrees

    passionflower replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I feel everyone who was accepted to another school after WGU should post the school and we should make the topic a

  2. MSN--overwhelmed with options

    passionflower replied to BonnieSc's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    When I did my research I received this same information about WGU and my manager just the other day said it was viewed as a good school. There is a thread on the school page with WGU listed and these...

  3. MSN--overwhelmed with options

    passionflower replied to BonnieSc's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I wonder how much the first poster to respond knows about the institution WGU particularly since one of the main reasons that it is affordable is because it is NOT for profit. Not here to sing the...

  4. WGU MSN in 6 months

    passionflower replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    I have heard this from other posters who completed the program so quickly. I find each class comfortable but they offer plenty of material and learning opportunities. Most people who complete so...

    Thank you and same to you. Hope you find your passion, I know that sounds like an overused term but it really is important. Nice chatting with

  6. any nurse entrepreneurs outside of nursing?

    passionflower replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    It is a side business that I hope to turn into more of a full time one. If I am being honest, nursing was never a passion for me. I needed a secure job with good pay. Since I always have had empathy...

  7. any nurse entrepreneurs outside of nursing?

    passionflower replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I have a company that works with young woman on developing life skills and careers based on talent. I am working on developing a media company and one project I am looking at focuses on nursing...

  8. Has anyone done the WGU online RN to BSN program?

    passionflower replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    Have had the same positive experience. Funny to hear some people think they have some scheme when they are so affordable. Everything is included books as

  9. Why preceptors don't precept

    passionflower replied to sauce's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for responding to my question. I guess I was thinking along the line of how little respect is given to the nursing profession because other professions provide their students the learning...

  10. RN to BSN first, then BSN to MSN or RN to MSN first?

    passionflower replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    If you are planning to get your Master's and are sure of your focus of study then this question to me is really a no-brainer. You will still earn your BSN along the way and cut down on some classes...

  11. Preparing for OB Courses

    passionflower replied to DMeers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They try to coordinate the new hired nurses at my facility so that they take a beginners fetal monitoring course during orientation. They hire an instructor several times a year to come and teach....

  12. Why preceptors don't precept

    passionflower replied to sauce's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Which other professional programs and organizations require the students to find their own preceptors? Sure this question was asked but I may have overlooked

  14. Has anyone ever created a poster presentation?

    passionflower replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations Klone. I am dreading the capstone project. Since I am in OB I plan to do something OB related. I don't know about poster presentations but I can't wait to see your capstone. Good...

  15. I'm excited right now

    passionflower replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    All the best to you! Congratulations, that is an awesome position and my dream job as well. I am on the RN-MSN track and can't wait for the BSn portion to be done. What a great pay off for

  16. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    passionflower replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

    We are in the same boat. I am going to go PRN and wish I could find an at home job. I think I am done with hospital/holiday/scheduling

  17. Has anyone done the WGU online RN to BSN program?

    passionflower replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    I was initially a little "weirded out" by webcam but got used to it quick. Much easier for me than traveling to a

  18. Has anyone done the WGU online RN to BSN program?

    passionflower replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    If you search the postings you will find many responses to this question that has been asked and answered several times. I have not yet completed the program so I can't answer from a personal...

  20. WGU MSN in 6 months

    passionflower replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    QI project for education as well. The only fieldwork project I have done is with community health. I had to reach out to members of my community. Needed to accumulate 90 hours for this but no...

  21. Finished RN to BSN Program in 6 months and 1 week! Feel free to ask me anything!

    passionflower replied to CLUVRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I must be misunderstanding something here. You did say you just finished your BSN (congratulations by the way!) I wasn't aware you can start a DNP program without a masters degree. What type of...

  22. Has anyone taken Biochem at WGU?

    passionflower replied to natalie877's topic in Western Governors University

    Playdoh

  23. I already miss you, WGU!

    passionflower replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Right I doubt if many potential employers look at masters degree and then go back and say now let's check your

  24. I already miss you, WGU!

    passionflower replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Can't say I understand your logic especially since I have seen people go through to masters and go on to earn DNP elsewhere - which is probably what I will be doing. (This is my last term before I...

  25. WGU MSN in 6 months

    passionflower replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes. I agree people would believe that. The way WGU is set up as competency based and for the experienced working nurse they make it "doable" to complete quickly. You can pass some of the...
