  1. Fingers crossed...

    featherzRN replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Wow congrats MMJ! Are you going to be a course mentor or an actual cohort instructor for the prelicensure

  2. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    featherzRN replied to RN*mommy's topic in Western Governors University

    I paid mine at once, but I do remember being told that there was a split payment

  3. RN-MSN Leadership at WGU

    featherzRN replied to RnTech29's topic in Western Governors University

    The new MSN has several classes that are OA's (tests). It's very different from the 'old'

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

    featherzRN replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    Good luck!! WGU was the best way to go for me - and it was quick and affordable, even better. Be sure to contact a current or past student to get $$ off your application

  5. Considering WGU--need to hear from current/past students...

    featherzRN replied to applemom's topic in Western Governors University

    There were specific reasons I had to retake a few courses. My grades were fine, but my sociology was a CLEP exam, and apparently CLEP only keeps scores 20 years. Even with the score report (I had the...

  6. GLT1 frustrated!!!!

    featherzRN replied to mlcRN's topic in Western Governors University

    As I said over on the facebook page, seriously, don't stress over GLT. It's four papers, 3-5 pages each. That's it. :) I challenged having to take that class and lost, but after I took the class I...

  7. Considering WGU--need to hear from current/past students...

    featherzRN replied to applemom's topic in Western Governors University

    I just finished the BSN program in September.. took me 3.5 months, but my results are not typical. It's an awesome program and we have active facebook groups for support through the program. And most...

  8. The Clinical Performance in Nursing Exam (CPNE): what the heck is this madness?!

    featherzRN replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior College

    Hey, I did my CPNE in 1989 in Long Beach as well!! :) Another oldie from california!

  9. RN-BSN requires working RNs only

    featherzRN replied to Jmira.BSN.RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I had a lot of classes, 50 CU. But WGU is work at your own pace and I did! Even at two terms, which is what most people do, it's only 7K. But yes, won't work for OP since you need the

  10. RN-BSN requires working RNs only

    featherzRN replied to Jmira.BSN.RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I do agree, although I am a WGU cheerleader it sucks that WGU requires you to be working. I don't think you'll find a cheaper program anywhere else (I paid 3.5K!), but I am sure that you won't have to...

  11. WGU's New MSN curriculum

    featherzRN replied to LoneStar1908's topic in Western Governors University

    You can test at home with a webcam, or you can go to a testing center. Whichever works best for

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

    featherzRN replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    The background check did not take long for me (less than a week, iirc) and I did not have to have fingerprints done, it was all

  13. BSN COmmunity Health Practicum

    featherzRN replied to ssalulu's topic in Western Governors University

    I think you can easily do it in 7-8 weeks, although keep in mind you want to turn it in at least two weeks before the end of the term to allow for grading problems. Ask your student mentor - maybe...

  14. Free RN to BSN Applications/ Transcript Reviews

    featherzRN replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you need a fee waiver to WGU, any current or former student can give you one. Also excelsior is waiving admission fees for former graduates seeking another

  15. BSN COmmunity Health Practicum

    featherzRN replied to ssalulu's topic in Western Governors University

    Depends on the topic, how much free time you have, etc. I know people on maternity leave that knocked out the hours in two weeks. Took me about a month, but I had to work.

  16. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    featherzRN replied to RN*mommy's topic in Western Governors University

    congrats on starting WGU!! Join us on the facebook page if you can "WGU RN to BSN Discussion Group". As for tips, those are dependent on your classes, but with 35CU it would be possible to complete...

  17. RN to MSN

    featherzRN replied to lydespain's topic in Western Governors University

    I did the RN to BSN. Not interested in an MSN at this time, but the first portion of the program would be the same. Can only speak for that portion, but I loved my WGU experience and the degree on my...

  18. WGU writes: RN-BSN in 6 months is a rumor, not do-able

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Biochem was one of my shortest classes, at only 5 days. My longest class took me around two weeks - that was humanities. I knew NOTHING about the subject matter. Bettyrn32 - each class has something...

  19. WGU writes: RN-BSN in 6 months is a rumor, not do-able

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I put in a lot of hours to finish in about three months. Probably at least 5/day. Biochem is a series of powerpoints. I didn't take history, but I think it is

  20. November 1st

    featherzRN replied to Crt2rn's topic in Western Governors University

    I did at least 6 hours/day during the week before and after work, more on weekends. Not recommended for anyone except the truly nuts.

  21. November 1st

    featherzRN replied to Crt2rn's topic in Western Governors University

    Is that your question over on facebook? I'm heather over there if it was. :) Biochem depends on how much time you have to work at it. I did it over 5 days (not including grading time) but I did...

  22. Muslim nursing students

    featherzRN replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    I wear long sleeves AND a hoodie every day at work. :) :) Yes, it's a doctor's office - but several people who work there like to keep the a/c on, even in the dead of winter (even when it's below...

  23. Best online RN to BSN program....CHEAP?

    featherzRN replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Similar. You have classes that have papers or projects instead of tests, and there's a 90 hour community practicum. I did excelsior for my ADN, so WGU worked for

  24. Best online RN to BSN program....CHEAP?

    featherzRN replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You study the book/module/whatever, then there's either a test or a project/paper/set of papers. Pass whatever the 'competency' is for that class, pass the class. Books and lab kits are included in...

    featherzRN replied to Crt2rn's topic in Western Governors University

    WGU rocks, and if you are sufficiently motivated can be the most affordable option. :) My 50 units cost me 3500. Can't beat that
