  1. SO BURNT OUT

    featherzRN replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

    Finish out this semester and try a term break to recharge? :) :) You can do

  2. Excelsior Pass Rates!!!

    featherzRN replied to j1l4d's topic in Excelsior College

    I wish I still had my blue book. Would be fun to go back. And my VHS tape.

  3. Excelsior Pass Rates!!!

    featherzRN replied to j1l4d's topic in Excelsior College

    /Agree. First time passer here, no workshop beforehand either. Didn't fail a single PCS or station and did the whole program in 6 months. This is before the FCCA and other added courses, back in the...

  4. Excelsior Graduates please help

    featherzRN replied to stepbystep12's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm an excelsior grad and I went to WGU. Loved it. They WILL make you retake any sciences that you tested out of without a lab, but it's really very painless. I did physiology over a weekend, the lab...

  5. Opinion regarding WGU

    featherzRN replied to CareerChanger2009's topic in Western Governors University

    COS = course of study (the textbook, webinars, whatever) OA = objective assessment (final test) PA = performance assessment (final project) OR preassessment (pre-test for those classes with tests)...

  6. Can this be completed in 1 semester (6months)?

    featherzRN replied to EMEddie's topic in Western Governors University

    OCD is the way to be. Skip the COS for any class in which you don't feel you need it, go right to the tasks or tests as quickly as you can. WGU is very self paced so most of it is up to you. Going...

  7. Which RN-BSN programs can be finished in 1 year?

    featherzRN replied to JasonKa's topic in New York Nursing

    If speed is your issue, WGU is pretty much it. I did mine in 3.5 months with 50 credits to do. Cost about $3400. Can't beat that. No guarantee that you can finish that quickly, but under a year is...

  8. Can this be completed in 1 semester (6months)?

    featherzRN replied to EMEddie's topic in Western Governors University

    Sure, depends on you. I did all those plus four or five more and finished in under four

  9. Opinion regarding WGU

    featherzRN replied to CareerChanger2009's topic in Western Governors University

    I finished in less than 120 days with 50 CU.. it's 'at your own pace', so you can go as fast or as slowly as you need to. However, to do this you need to pretty much be OCD about school stuff every...

  10. WGU Sept 2014..Anyone??

    featherzRN replied to nurse2fnp's topic in Western Governors University

    The AMNH posts are not mandatory no matter what the communities or mentor say. All you need for that class is to pass the test and to get the AMNH certificate for your

  11. WGU (Western Governors University) - DPV1

    featherzRN replied to lillypad's topic in Western Governors University

    Check your "other" folder - apparently the mods are sending out requests to verify your wgu email and start

  12. Will WGU accept Excelsior's A&P/Micro (non-lab) for the RN-BSN?

    featherzRN replied to ~agape~'s topic in Western Governors University

    Nope! We have lots of people who end up taking them - there's also math, history, arts, etc, for those who need to fill in the gaps. No worries. The anatomy lab comes with a cool big plastic skeleton...

  13. Will WGU accept Excelsior's A&P/Micro (non-lab) for the RN-BSN?

    featherzRN replied to ~agape~'s topic in Western Governors University

    They will not take them. I did my Micro and A&P through excelsior (although I had another anatomy class that DID count) - I had to retake physiology and micro with labs @ WGU. They are NOT...

  14. WGU Sept 2014..Anyone??

    featherzRN replied to nurse2fnp's topic in Western Governors University

    I worked full time - M-F, 9-5. My experience is not typical, although we have had several recent peeps over on the facebook page graduating in one term. YMMV on biochem - I thought it was easy and had...

  15. WGU Sept 2014..Anyone??

    featherzRN replied to nurse2fnp's topic in Western Governors University

    The micro class is really pretty easy - have never heard anyone complain about it. So no worries on that one! I had to retake it too, for the same reason. Pretty much everyone takes biochem. :) I did...

  16. Current WGU RN-to-BSN students: How does WGU feel to you?

    featherzRN replied to Tamistott's topic in Western Governors University

    Papers have a grading matrix - you need to hit all the points they want for each paper. The length is not really an issue as long as you can do that. My longest paper at WGU was about 16 pages - most...

  17. RN - BSN Facebook page gone?

    featherzRN replied to MrsY's topic in Western Governors University

    It's still there.. a bunch of people accidentally got booted a few weeks ago, iirc. Just request to be let back in. :) EBT is the evidence based practice class and it's a bit of a doozy.

  18. Changes to WGU effective October 1, 2014

    featherzRN replied to lazarusstyles's topic in Western Governors University

    And as WGU is competency based, having to 'retake' health assessment could just be a 'blip' in your program. The test should be no problem with a bit of review, then you do a video of yourself...

  19. Health Assessment Course at WGU

    featherzRN replied to bongids's topic in Western Governors University

    What commuter said - the unofficial study guide and I will also add that all the youtube assessment videos mentioned in the communities helped me more than anything else. Reading through the COS will...

  20. WGU online ASN-BSN program?

    featherzRN replied to sjr2004's topic in Western Governors University

    I graduated last year and I could not be more happy! I was supposed to start another degree with WGU next month, but that's on hold due to financial issues. It's affordable, do at your own pace -- and...

  21. Feeling Irritated... I Passed the PA. Not Allowed to Take OA!

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I had my mentor open two classes at once (accelerated) every time - one PA and one OA. But I did the first 12CU in three weeks so I guess she figured I was on a roll. :) At one point just before I...

  22. Feeling Irritated... I Passed the PA. Not Allowed to Take OA!

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I agree, that's weird. I know they have been changing courses around and some students in the MSN programs have been told to 'hold off' on a test that might change soon, but have not heard of this in...

  23. Start Date August 1st, 2014 - BSN vs. MSN

    featherzRN replied to RN2012's topic in Western Governors University

    It is true that it changed on Jul 1, but talking to the healthcare management peeps they were supposed to actually start in August, but it got pushed to september. There's one guy who started in...

  24. Start Date August 1st, 2014 - BSN vs. MSN

    featherzRN replied to RN2012's topic in Western Governors University

    The new MBA is almost 1/2 exams. It changes as of Sep 1. The new curriculum is on the website and in the PDF file for the

  25. Start Date August 1st, 2014 - BSN vs. MSN

    featherzRN replied to RN2012's topic in Western Governors University

    Was talking to someone today- apparently the MBA new program is so new it's starting with me, in
