  1. Have bad attitude- RN to BSN programs

    featherzRN replied to anon456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    WGU does not have a clinical (most RN to BSN programs do not) - it's a 90 hour community health practicum that you do in your community (interviews,

  2. Have bad attitude- RN to BSN programs

    featherzRN replied to anon456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I did WGU as well - took me less than 6 months, but I did put a lot of time into studying, probably 30+ each week. I didn't NEED a BSN but it's pretty much going towards required everywhere around...

  3. ADN to BSN credit by exam instead of papers?

    featherzRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    WGU rocks.. no group projects and several of the classes are passed with 'tests'. There are several classes with papers tho, no getting around it.

  4. May starters- 1 more day, are you ready?

    featherzRN replied to dabmtcuRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Reference page does not count in the originality number and can be excluded when you run the report. I bet you'll be fine. I've said before on the facebook page that I never even ran turnitin reports...

  5. May starters- 1 more day, are you ready?

    featherzRN replied to dabmtcuRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Good luck commuter!! I am one of those who actually liked biochem - did not find it difficult. Know that the graders for that class may return your task for something nitpicky - no worries, just fix...

  6. WGU RN-BSN in 6 months??

    featherzRN replied to thecoolnurse's topic in Western Governors University

    It is still doable in one term, even with a ton of prereqs like I had. However, it's not easy to do and requires a lot of your time. I'd plan on two, then get real happy if you can get through it more...

  7. RN to MSN at WGU

    featherzRN replied to maebowers's topic in Western Governors University

    FWIW, all my 20+ year old math classes DID transfer.. They will not take stats > 5 years tho!

  8. MSN group discussion

    featherzRN replied to LindseyRN86's topic in Western Governors University

    It's for both but it would be at the end. You should have a field experience class in your COS, but not yet if you have just started - that will be near the end, for sure. :) And yes, only for that...

  9. MSN group discussion

    featherzRN replied to LindseyRN86's topic in Western Governors University

    It's pretty much all revamped - the classes don't even look to be remotely the same and the IRB necessity is gone, since it's based on the 'practicum/field experience(s)'. Still waiting before I...

  10. MSN group discussion

    featherzRN replied to LindseyRN86's topic in Western Governors University

    So since you are doing the research based capstone, you ended up in the 'old' program even starting 9/13? They changed the capstone after that to be based on the field experiences - and I am still...

  11. How Long to Complete? RN-BSN, BSN-MSN

    featherzRN replied to RN-4Ever's topic in Western Governors University

    As long as they have a lab component they should be fine. I got credit for my anatomy and lab and I took mine in .. ahem.. 1988.

  12. How Long to Complete? RN-BSN, BSN-MSN

    featherzRN replied to RN-4Ever's topic in Western Governors University

    I did my BSN

  13. ADN to BSN credit by exam instead of papers?

    featherzRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    WGU has about half the classes as exams, but you do have to write papers for the rest of the classes. No getting around it, afaik.

  14. Mentors

    featherzRN replied to Gabby-RN's topic in Western Governors University

    You CAN still finish in 6 months - we just had another four monther over on the facebook page.. But it requires a lot of work and a supportive mentor that will open both community health classes in...

  15. Mentors

    featherzRN replied to Gabby-RN's topic in Western Governors University

    There are a few like that, Commuter. I'd advise a change of mentors if you get through your first 12 units and are unable to accelerate without a hassle. Sometimes, however, they are hesitant until...

  16. Mentors

    featherzRN replied to Gabby-RN's topic in Western Governors University

    I agree, I hate talking on the phone but generally it was quick and a 'hey, look what I did, can you open this?' and that was it. My mentor was awesome so that

  17. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    AH that makes sense - Yah, it's different for the prelicensure students, you have more set terms due to

  18. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    The 'terms' are fluid depending on how much work you can get done. I completed in less than one but enrolled as starting with four. 5 terms must mean you have 50-60 units to do- you could do that 60...

  19. Questions about WGU Pre-Assessments and Objective Assessments

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    UJC2 I believe is the MSN health assessment course. I'd ask in your community or on the MSN facebook

  20. Questions about WGU Pre-Assessments and Objective Assessments

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    When I took health assessment, the PA was missing a few content areas. That was my first OA and I studied prior to the start of my term, then took it seven days in. I did very well on that OA and...

  21. Questions about WGU Pre-Assessments and Objective Assessments

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    FWIW, that's one thing the facebook group is helpful on. You can post "I got a 68 on the PA, should I schedule the OA?" and you can hear what others think. Some classes (microbiology, humanities,...

  22. Questions about WGU Pre-Assessments and Objective Assessments

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I think s/he meant they did 12 CU in two months (first term).

  23. Questions about WGU Pre-Assessments and Objective Assessments

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I'd say no on that. Sounds like you ended up with one of those antiacceleration mentors who wants you to slooooooooooooow down. I'd say for the most part the PA was similar to the OA and occasionally...

  24. May 1st Start Date WGU

    featherzRN replied to CNRN_Cali's topic in Western Governors University

    I started June 1 LAST year (and graduated in september LOL). June is a good month to start in except for my entire summer passing me by while I was in studying :) . The facebook group is invaluable...

  25. Question about course?

    featherzRN replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Western Governors University

    Nope, you don't need to do anything - I did quite a few of my classes with barely even looking at the COS as long as I passed the preassessment. Your mentor is probably being cautious. For care of the...
