  1. Anyone recently gone to WGU?

    featherzRN replied to DeterminedRN15's topic in Western Governors University

    FWIW, plenty of WGU grads have gotten into NP programs - haven't heard of any denials, as a matter of fact. But yes, if the one you want to apply to requires higher than a 3.0 that could definitely be...

  2. So Excited Dont have to take Bio Chem!!!

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

    Yep they don't make you take any undergrad courses if going from BSN to MSN.

  3. I feel like an illegitimate nurse

    featherzRN replied to Laura Polifka's topic in General Nursing

    I've been an outpatient clinic nurse for so many years that no hospital would hire me in a med-surg or any inpatient unit unless they were SERIOUSLY desperate. I'm ok with that. :) Although you...

  4. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    CLEP is on my you-know-what list. I had to retake sociology at WGU because apparently CLEP won't keep scores more than 20 years. I even had the original score report, but WGU would not accept it. No...

  5. Nervous to start May1

    featherzRN replied to Bs191's topic in Western Governors University

    You will both do great!! Make sure to join the facebook page (lots of support there) and have fun. :) Ok, some of the classes are more fun than others, but you know what I mean. :) I had 50 to do,...

  6. WGU RN to BSN Grads/Current Students

    featherzRN replied to missy26's topic in Western Governors University

    3.5 months. But I probably did 30+ hours/week (before and after work AND on weekends). So I worked really hard at it.

  7. WGU RN to BSN Grads/Current Students

    featherzRN replied to missy26's topic in Western Governors University

    WGU gives you 50CU credit for being an RN, then there's whatever they give you credit for as far as classes go. I only got credit for 20CU above and over the 50 unit 'RN' credit. As for me, I spent...

  8. WGU RN to BSN Grads/Current Students

    featherzRN replied to missy26's topic in Western Governors University

    WGU wants you to take 12 CU per term, actually. :) Many of us have completed a LOT of CU's in a 6 month term (I did 50), but 12 is what will be expected of you. It really depends on if you have time...

  9. Biochem at wgu

    featherzRN replied to karen597's topic in Western Governors University

    Not really, it's not a 'studying' type of class. There's no test, it's a series of projects that need to be completed. If on facebook, look up the 'WGU RN to BSN discussion' page so you can see what...

  10. Biochem at wgu

    featherzRN replied to karen597's topic in Western Governors University

    No need for a ledge. It is not a difficult class, although some find it tedious. Make sure to get a copy of the '20 day plan' when you can get into the class communities and watch ALL the mentor help...

  11. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Thankfully I didn't have to take the math class - if you don't get a response here, check on the WGU RN to BSN discussion forum on facebook. I am guessing someone has taken it over there! :) As for...

  12. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Biochem in less than a week = use the 20 day plan sped up, one task per day x 5 days. And make sure to watch the mentor videos and don't overthink it. It can be done! =) (I loved biochem - watching...

  13. WGU and RN to BSN questions

    featherzRN replied to suzzie_queue's topic in Western Governors University

    I answered your questions in the other forum, but I can address the new ones here. The other thread will probably get moved here anyways soon. :) There are ways to get your application fee waived -...

  14. WGU and RN to BSN questions

    featherzRN replied to suzzie_queue's topic in Western Governors University

    I graduated WGU last year - I was one of the super quick finishers (50 units in 3.5 months). This is still doable, but it requires a lot of time and effort. I was required to retake several sciences...

  15. Needing advice about starting RN-BSN or RN-MSN

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

    About half the classes (depending on what you have to take) have no papers at all - and out of the ones that do, there's only two that I would consider paper intensive. From what I hear about other...

  16. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Don't forget there IS an appeal process should the transcript eval not go as you'd like. However, even if you get stuck with a class you think you should have gotten credit for, remember that wgu is...

  17. Support for ADN's required to secure their BSN lacking

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

    Didn't mean to threadcrap (again), but had to clarify. The program at WGU is NOT one semester, as designed, however it is self paced so some people can complete it that quickly. I had to take 50...

  18. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Pretty much everyone has to take biochemistry unless you have a standalone class to transfer that is called ONLY "biochemistry". Regular chemistry, organic chem, etc, will not

  19. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I think it's the same or similar - I thought it was fun and I was able to get it done in less than a week - just seems like lately it's getting a bad rap if you go by Facebook. Was it a pile of...

  20. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Stats isn't horrible. I didn't mind biochem either, but some might disagree with me - seems a lot of peeps having problems lately. Thankfully, I had a get out of jail free card on Algebra, having...

  21. Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

    featherzRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Are you starting WGU, Commuter? If so, congrats! I loved WGU.

  22. Stay away from Capella

    featherzRN replied to Bs191's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm also a WGU grad - go to WGU, you won't regret it! :) WGU asks you questions (more than once) to determine if you understand and are compatible with the program, plus there's a (minimal) admission...

  23. WGU, Who else is starting with me

    featherzRN replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in Western Governors University

    That's just suggested, at a rate of 12CU/term. You can go as fast as you can, although if you plan on accelerating it will definitely take 20 hours a week. I did my two year plan in only a bit over...

  24. Support for ADN's required to secure their BSN lacking

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

    I did my program in one semester, so for me that was the whole program.
