  1. Nursing BSN at WGU

    featherzRN replied to ScudderRN31's topic in Western Governors University

    My experience is not typical- I did nothing but school and work and got done in a little over three months. From anecdotal evidence only (from here and facebook), my guess is most people finish within...

  2. Nursing BSN at WGU

    featherzRN replied to ScudderRN31's topic in Western Governors University

    I went to excelsior for ASN and WGU for BSN. They are very similar but WGU is much cheaper. NO HIDDEN COSTS.. no giant graduation cost like excelsior (when you graduate, you get a diploma and two...

  3. Western governors u

    featherzRN replied to registerednutrn's topic in Western Governors University

    Egads yes, group projects make me run screaming. I have to do one for my MBA and from what I hear it's a beast. At least it's at the end of the program. I doubt I would have gotten a BSN at all in a...

  4. 40 credits in a year, can I do it?

    featherzRN replied to JustMeRN's topic in Western Governors University

    You can definitely do it, no worries!! I was out of school for 25 years and I managed. Go for it!

  5. Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    featherzRN replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    Financial Management (OA), then Data Driven Decision Making (OA and PA). Then Capstone. Passed accounting earlier this week

  6. Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    featherzRN replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    8 classes down for the MBA, 6 weeks in. Two more (difficult) classes to go, then

  7. Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    featherzRN replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    I am over halfway through the MBA - HM now. Murse901, how did you find Capsim? Seems intimidating to me from what I have seen so far (still several classes to go before I get

  8. Do any WGU graduates have jobs?

    featherzRN replied to Mindylane's topic in Western Governors University

    I work at a federal institution and they have no issue with WGU degrees - mine was accepted with no comment at all. Quite a few RN to BSN degrees are online

  9. Taskstream stalking! What's the longest you've had an assignment "being evaluated"?

    featherzRN replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

    I had a really weird one the other day. Turned in a paper, was maybe 100 or so in the queue and had it returned in about three hours for a really tiny problem (one sentence!). Don't you just hate...

  10. Bsn at western governors

    featherzRN replied to dcfnp71's topic in Western Governors University

    FWIW I did the whole program in three months and I used no outside study guides. So they aren't necessary unless that's what you want to do. As for the advanced degrees, many many many people here...

  11. Discovered something interesting about WGU

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I thought about them as well, based on the comments on another forum. I can't remember why I decided to stick with WGU, would have to look back and see. Either way, sounds like a good plan.

  12. Discovered something interesting about WGU

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm in the MBA program now so if you need any insights let me know - it's been a changed format for about the last six months. And yep, no need to pay again. Now that the MBA program has OA's (tests),...

  13. Anyone have experience as an RN with the VA PACT

    featherzRN replied to wmb001's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, the hiring process is very very very slow.

  14. What do you do if none of the times your mentor...

    featherzRN replied to jenrninmi's topic in Western Governors University

    My mentor calls are always in the evening, around 6PM my time - both with my BSN and now with my MBA. I'd get a mentor that can work with you on that.

  15. Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    featherzRN replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes, I am. I didn't get an MSN at WGU, however (just a BSN). *IF* I get an MSN, I may get it somewhere else.. However, I am not overly concerned with academic incest as I am doing these degrees more...

  16. Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    featherzRN replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm almost done with four classes and I'm less than a month in. I expect to be done within one term (6 months) if life doesn't get in the way. I do spend a LOT of time on coursework, probably at...

  17. Considering WGU: Questions about Practicum

    featherzRN replied to Donatello's topic in Western Governors University

    I had the same problem when I was considering an MSN and was told a BSN or other 'stakeholder' (MD, etc) could be used, however I don't know for SURE that it would be acceptable. I ended up in the MBA...

  18. telephone triage flowsheet for receptionist?

    featherzRN replied to Ashley02's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Agree. We don't allow receptionists to do any triage at all - all 'sick calls' go to the

  19. Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    featherzRN replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    I am in the program now (the new one with the tests).. So far so good, two classes down.

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

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    It's pretty individual. Several people have finished the MSN in one term recently, but two terms is more realistic for most people. It would still probably be the least expensive MSN around, tho.

  22. 33 Credits down, 1 credit left

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Any luck? My MBA papers passed - they are pretty quick, took about one day. Want to see you change that ASN to BSN!

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I've got two submissions in taskstream now for the MBA so I join you in taskstream stalking. Good luck and

  25. When is the transcript updated to reflect BSN completion?

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    CONGRATS in advance. My transcript was updated on the date of degree conferral. So if you pass your class, the mentor sends you an application for graduation, then it's a day or two before it's...
