I did. Thank you for trying to complete the survey :)

Hi everyone, I am an MSN student at Western Governors University. I am doing this research study as part of the capstone project. I would very much appreciate it if you could take a few minutes of your time to complete this 13-question survey. This is a qualitative survey exploring the perceived barriers and motivators of nurses in pursuing higher education in nursing. Any RN in the U.S. can participate. The survey is completely anonymous. Here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YZ9NKTY Thank you to everyone who participates :) Researcher: Elaine P. Caburian, BSN, RN-BC

Hi Nursingheart21, I would suggest that you apply now as it takes time to send transcripts and have them review it. Plus you have to take the entrance assessment, etc.. It's better that all your requirements are ready :)As far as BSN goes.. There are no clinicals.. There's just a practicum at the end where u get to choose ur own topic.. Im in CA so I had to find a preceptor myself. You can do it in any hospital as long as you find a willing preceptor. I was told that in other states, theres no need for a preceptor. Check w ur enrollment counselor. Good luck :)Merry Christmas!! :)

I also start 1/1/13, but for the BSN-MSN Ed. Im excited!! :)

Hi minakay.. My target start date is also January 2013 for MSN Education. I got my BSN from WGU also. So maybe we'll be classmates :) We should start a thread for this :)

Hi gmoody_rn, I am takibg nutrition as well.. And in the same boat as you.. I have been doing the COS and is indeed super time consuming. Is there anybody who can give us some wisdom on this? On where to focus or not? Oh and the FB page is up.. Just backtrack a few pages and ul see the link. I would post thr link again but Im using my fone right now and cant easily do it.. Goodluck to u! :)

Just passed KOT1!!! Woot woot!!!!!!!! I am sooo happeeey!!! 6 units down!!! 23 to go!!!!!! HOw's everybody doing? :)

I am still waiting on my grade on KOT1. I submitted both tasks this past Saturday.. the waiting part is killing me! I really dont want to start another task on NVT until I know my grade just in case it needs revision.. **really hoping it wont** It took me 3 days to complete both tasks... it took a lot of researching.. waaaay more than I thought it needed... now just waiting for the results.. ******cross fingers******

I completed EWB saturday, I didnt hear from them initially after submitting all requirements. so what I did was I emailed the group email for my EWB group asking them if theres anything else needed to complete the course, they replied to me within the hour with the confirmation of completion. Hows everybody else? What courses are you guys working on now? anybody doing KOT1?

I just spoke with my mentor few hours ago and we set up my AAV. she told me I could only access 1 course at a time. so im starting KOT1 tonight. how bout u guys?

So im a bit puzzled.. Do we have to complete AAv to start on courses other than ewb? If not, how do we open lectures and do assessments? Does it really have to be opened by our mentors first? If so, can they open it without conpleting AAV first???

All I really did today was look at COS.. I will have that phonecall finally with my mentor tomorrow so she can open up classes for me. Cant wait to get started. To those who started their classes today, consider yourselves lucky to get a day of headstart :) To SweettartRN.. completing 17 units in 1 month is more than amazing! :) Hopefully I can follow in your footsteps...

Hey Sweettart.. how many more CUs/courses do u have to complete still? You actually really motivated me when u said u completed 12 units in 2.5 weeks....something like that.. keep rockin! We can all do this in 1 term! :)

Finished EWB.. woot!!! :) to those who finished it.. does your Assessment Status under My Degree Plan, still shows "BEGIN NOW"?

Congrats on finishing it!!! :) did u already get the email that you have completed it? Im finishing module 7.. getting there...
