  1. RN-BSN Washington State Pre-requisites?

    featherzRN replied to mbschloss's topic in Western Governors University

    They've been doing that a lot recently. When I took health assessment, it was just the test and it was 3CU. Then it was two classes (one was video, the other the exact same test) and now it's back to...

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

    featherzRN replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    Neither the BSN or the MSN currently has any group projects. The MBA has one group project, at capstone. (the other was deleted). And they don't have 'teachers', so to speak, so I think those reviews...

  3. How to choose an RN-BSN program??

    featherzRN replied to nightflower's topic in School, College Programs

    WGU has no group work, but it does have both exams and papers. Check on over at the WGU forum and you'll see tons o' data!

  4. Transcript Eval. 45 CU needed..Any thoughts

    featherzRN replied to nurse2fnp's topic in Western Governors University

    It all depends on what you are transferring in. I had 50 to do and it was no big deal. I finished in 3.5 months. Are there classes they are saying you need that you disagree with? Remember, it's...

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

    featherzRN replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    We need more data - what sorts of

  6. WGU Sept 2014..Anyone??

    featherzRN replied to nurse2fnp's topic in Western Governors University

    I had to do 50, still got it done in well under a term. Don't stress! If you are retaking a class here or there, you can get through those much more quickly - just do the test or task(s) and move to...

  7. microbiology and statistics at WGU

    featherzRN replied to anxiouslynervous's topic in Western Governors University

    definitely doable in two terms. Some of us have done more than that in one term!! :) As for micro - do NOT stress about it. The test is not difficult at all IMO. The lab is a bit tedious, but it's not...

  8. POLL - All CPNE takers please

    featherzRN replied to ChrisRicci's topic in Excelsior College

    It was a while ago (a really long while) but I passed without any

  9. WGU leadership experience/ pyt1

    featherzRN replied to loulous626's topic in Western Governors University

    No, I did PYT1 as part of my BSN. It's the leadership project. I did a new medication dispensing system at the clinic (theoretical). I've heard the new MSN capstone is very similar to this and expands...

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

    featherzRN replied to RN2012's topic in Western Governors University

    I stopped at the BSN, but in my area an MSN would over qualify me for almost everything and I have no desire to teach nursing, be a manager, or be a practitioner. I may do the MSN later, but I'm...

  11. Can this be possible? your thoughts.

    featherzRN replied to EMEddie's topic in Western Governors University

    Sure, I did, and I only had an AA prior to the program. However, it's not guaranteed and will require a lot of dedication. I tried to finish about a class a week (but I had 50CU to do - you will...

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

    featherzRN replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    The objective assessments are timed, but the time is enough - I've never heard of anyone running out of time on them. I think they are 1.5 to two hours, but don't quote me on that. I finished in...

  13. Getting older...feeling forced out

    featherzRN replied to KYMDSRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I did a BSN at 46, now about to start working on an MBA at 47. I work outpatient, but I really haven't noticed any slowing down and my coworkers actually have a few years on me. Maybe just a change of...

  14. Wondering about books

    featherzRN replied to schnookimz's topic in Western Governors University

    I think I saw your question over on fb also, no? You need to get the vitalsource app on your kindle, which will allow you to download the books and read them 'off line'.

  15. Where is my advisor? ?

    featherzRN replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Western Governors University

    Also, don't know about admissions, but most mentors are in SLC this week for graduation. I'd definitely send an

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

    featherzRN replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    As far as I know, they only ask during enrollment. I wouldn't mention the whole might not have a job thing. The BSN has one project that is 'work related' and the MSN has a few as well. I've heard...

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

    featherzRN replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    Tax Benefits for Education: Information Center There is the lifetime learning credit: Lifetime Learning Credit and the American Opportunity Credit: American Opportunity Tax Credit We qualified for the...

  18. WGU Transcript Evaluation

    featherzRN replied to NurseAshley.'s topic in Western Governors University

    I had 50 CU to do, so don't despair! I think 30-something is the usual #. I finished 50 in well under six months, but I had the time to do so - with effort I definitely think you could finish 42 in a...

  19. Unsure of wanting kids

    featherzRN replied to j0yegan's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am another voluntarily childfree person - it's never been anything I felt 'called' to do, and I do not regret it. I have no problems with kids and in fact have worked as a pediatric nurse off and...

  20. RN-MSN at WGU... Help!

    featherzRN replied to LuckyRN23's topic in Western Governors University

    About Western Governors University | WGU Faculty That's how WGU describes it, if that helps

  21. Online rn to bsn programs that are affordable

    featherzRN replied to rose407's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Microbiology doesn't cost anything extra with WGU and if you've already had it, you'd get through it quickly.. I had to take it too - was no big

  22. RN-MSN at WGU... Help!

    featherzRN replied to LuckyRN23's topic in Western Governors University

    This program is for nurses who are already RN's. And there are mentors and considerable support for those who need it.

  23. RN-MSN at WGU... Help!

    featherzRN replied to LuckyRN23's topic in Western Governors University

    The MSN capstone has completely changed for the new crop of students, and I don't THINK we'll be seeing any more survey monkey capstones once the people in the old program have passed through. It's...

  24. I don't want to go into debt with no raise :(

    featherzRN replied to Janinern84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Agree, WGU can't be beat for the cost. My BSN cost me $3400, plus you may qualify for a tax credit to offset some of that so that makes it even better.. It depends on how many terms you need - it's...

  25. RN-MSN at WGU... Help!

    featherzRN replied to LuckyRN23's topic in Western Governors University

    LOL.. I love WGU, don't listen to the naysayers.. As far as I know, a Mac works fine as a lot of students use one. You'll do both tests and papers. As said above, some mentors are helpful, some not so...
