  1. Has anyone quit wgu?

    benegesserit replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Western Governors University

    Do not do that. Nothing I've seen has given me any reason to think they would attempt to facilitate

  2. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    benegesserit replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    Reminder: Yes, your GPA from WGU will be 3.0. However, for most people in the RN to BSN program, WGU represents a small percentage of your overall undergrad GPA. Competitive schools will look at your...

  3. Is WGU RN-BSN similar to Excelsior?

    benegesserit replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes, and don't worry about your artistic skill or lack thereof. As long as you're able to get your point across, it doesn't

  4. Education or Leadership MSN?

    benegesserit replied to Mtru's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, what are your goals, both short and long term? If neither leadership nor education really fit your goals, there are other possible MSN options out there. Leadership and Education are the most...

  5. CNL to DNP

    benegesserit replied to May25's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Old post, but you haven't gotten a response, so I figured I'd answer. There should be lots. CNL includes the clinical coursework many post-master's DNP programs require. University of Reno and...

  6. MSN leadership and NP

    benegesserit replied to aphillipi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If my work was paying for most of it, I'd definitely be less concerned about the money aspect :) It's not that I think it's a waste - gaining education is generally a good thing. I'm just not sure an...

  7. MSN leadership and NP

    benegesserit replied to aphillipi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It depends on the program. Some DNP programs (or post-master's cert NP programs, which are intended for people who already have an MSN and are interested in changing emphases) require a clinical MSN...

  8. Community Health and Population-Focused Nursing C228

    benegesserit replied to LM NY's topic in Western Governors University

    Log into Facebook | Facebook is the Facebook group. Look at the tools as... tools. They aren't so much something to be answered one-by-one as a set of questions that can help you figure out where to...

  9. Are credits from WGU transferable?

    benegesserit replied to NJ2008's topic in Western Governors University

    That's more a question of the policies of the school you plan on transferring to, not the school you would transfer from. I don't see any reason why WGU classes would not transfer, assuming that the...

  10. Is WGU Mac Friendly?

    benegesserit replied to sk123's topic in Western Governors University

    99% of stuff can be done on any platform, so you'd be able to use the mac for most everything. I think everything can be done in OS X, but if you have access to a windows computer I wouldn't worry...

  11. RN-BSN or RN-MSN???? Please help!

    benegesserit replied to nursejoy1's topic in Western Governors University

    When I was making this decision, I looked at some post-master's programs and discovered that going that route would involve quite a few more credit hours than going straight from BSN to NP, and would...

  12. WGU RN to BSN in 6 months

    benegesserit replied to sachmo61691's topic in Western Governors University

    For statistics? A lot of people recommend Khan Academy. There isn't a whole lot of pre-studying you can do for the other classes,

  13. RN to BSN- Which classes were you able to finish quickly?

    benegesserit replied to HansenRN's topic in Western Governors University

    There isn't really a universal answer - it depends on your personal background, strengths, and weaknesses. Some of the ones TheCommuter found quick and easy took me the longest, but she doesn't list...

  14. No "S" on my chest for super student, but maybe for slow

    benegesserit replied to heartsgal's topic in Western Governors University

    Nope, I've got you beat! Took me a full 4 terms for RN-BSN. Almost went to five, but I managed to pull off a lot at the last minute. Health issues, took on too many other responsibilities, and I have...

  15. Want to complete RN to MSN Quickly

    benegesserit replied to psychnursehusband's topic in Western Governors University

    Yeah. "If you don't like the answer you get, ask someone else" seems to be good overall advice for

  16. Want to complete RN to MSN Quickly

    benegesserit replied to psychnursehusband's topic in Western Governors University

    If you start out on the BSN track and want to switch to MSN, you can't switch mid-term - you have to wait until the end of your current term. But once you're in the MSN track, it doesn't have to be...

  17. Mentors

    benegesserit replied to datki2015's topic in Western Governors University

    I didn't click well with my first mentor. She wasn't a horrible person or anything, and didn't try to hold me back at all, but I felt little real interest from her, and the calls were definitely more...

  18. WGU RN to BSN in 6 months

    benegesserit replied to sachmo61691's topic in Western Governors University

    Ugh, just realized that I said "course mentors" here, and meant "student mentors", and it's too late to edit. Sorry for any

  19. WGU RN to BSN in 6 months

    benegesserit replied to sachmo61691's topic in Western Governors University

    I took 4 terms, so take my advice for what it's worth... but I know where I went wrong, and I've observed a lot of people on here and on FB. Yes, course mentors will generally try to encourage you to...

  20. I completed my BSN today. Feel free to ask any questions

    benegesserit replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    1. There are absolutely no required assignments that involve working with other students (group projects, discussion boards, etc.). There are projects that will require the willing participation of...

  21. Nurses with 2 jobs

    benegesserit replied to dreamer30's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see any reason not to take on a second job PRN when one feels capable, physically and emotionally, of regularly picking up an extra shift per week. However, be aware that the PRN facility may...

  22. Alcohol consumption (in nursing school)

    benegesserit replied to Joe_Dignasio's topic in General Students

    In addition to the obvious "don't be under the influence during class/clinicals", my nursing school didn't allow drinking at anything school-affiliated or representing the school - eg. you couldn't...

  23. Rules for Per Diems

    benegesserit replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    One facility requires at least one shift every 90 days, the other one every six months. Neither has requirements about what specific shifts are needed. I know that at the "every 90 days" facility that...

  24. I took the plunge...it feels weird

    benegesserit replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I could have written this post with only a few slight changes. We seem to follow some parallel

  25. I Think I'm Pregnant

    benegesserit replied to shira9021's topic in General Students

    I unexpectedly found myself pregnant in my last semester. I probably wouldn't have brought it up at all, except that I developed horrible morning sickness, and when I needed to eat, I *really* needed...
