  1. WGU's New MSN curriculum

    featherzRN replied to LoneStar1908's topic in Western Governors University

    I waited on enrolling in the MSN for just this reason. I graduated from the BSN program last month (the BSN program was wonderful!), but due to a lack of feedback on the new MSN I was watching the...

  2. Course changes at WGU starting 1/1/13?

    featherzRN replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors University

    If you know the material, you just write the paper or take the final exam. So it should not take you long to do those classes if you have had them already. That's how you 'accelerate out'. :) But...

  3. November 1st

    featherzRN replied to Crt2rn's topic in Western Governors University

    No worries, you will do fine in the WGU stats and biochem. :) Congrats on starting

  4. Any ADN/diploma nurses not getting the BSN?

    featherzRN replied to neonurse97's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was one of those 'don't need it' nurses and went without a BSN for 20 years.. I *still* don't need it, but the writing is on the wall at the hospitals around here, even in podunk-town, so I went...

  5. Galen College and RN to BSN

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

    I was also going to suggest WGU - all prereqs could be taken there as well. I just graduated from there, great program - and fully

  6. Diploma RN asking whats a good online BSN course??

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

    Try wgu.edu - all the prereqs are included in the flat fee/6 months of $3250 or so and if you have a ton of spare time, you can take as many as you can fit in.

  7. The best and cheapest RN to BSN schools.

    featherzRN replied to brown90's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    WGU rocks! Yes, they only have a 3.0 GPA but many have gotten into graduate school just fine. Haven't actually heard of anyone getting turned down, although it's possible I suppose for very...

  8. WGU MSN-ed program tips please

    featherzRN replied to staycalm's topic in Western Governors University

    True, the information is out there, but very few people have gone through the 'new' classes yet, at least the peeps on facebook. =) I am waiting to see how the 40-hour practicum works out - the other...

  9. WGU MSN-ed program tips please

    featherzRN replied to staycalm's topic in Western Governors University

    Just FYI, as of 9/13 the MSN program at WGU underwent a huge revamp - so some information on the program may be outdated. I graduated from the BSN program and am still waiting for feedback on all the...

  10. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

    featherzRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in Western Governors University

    There are several classes that while not exactly requiring a job, need a manager type to sign off on. That's probably the main reason they want you to be working. No one ever said you couldn't work...

  11. Course changes at WGU starting 1/1/13?

    featherzRN replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors University

    I am not sure, but I think they do require nutrition as part of the 'core' courses, although I have heard of a few getting out of it.. and biochem has been waived for a few.. But honestly, if you know...

  12. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

    featherzRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in Western Governors University

    All I had to send was a resume.. nothing that stated what my status was. that was only a few months

  13. Course changes at WGU starting 1/1/13?

    featherzRN replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors University

    What are the 15 classes? And what had you taken already? I just finished WGU and I had a ton of classes to take, but they went very

  14. 100% online RN-BSN programs

    featherzRN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    WGU rocks! Just graduated from there - only took 14 weeks, less than one excelsior class . There is a practicum, but it's done on your own time and is not 'clinical', but community health

  15. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    featherzRN replied to BadMoonOnTheRise's topic in Online Distance Learning

    readiness assessment is just a basic math and english test, plus a short essay. nothing too taxing. =) If you can get through basic algebra and can handle 'passive vs. active voice' level in english,...

  16. Seeking advice.... Would you go for an RN degree if you were in my shoes?

    featherzRN replied to nybsn's topic in General Nursing

    NYC is a horrible market for RN's right now, ESPECIALLY new grads. You may do all that work and find out you can't get hired. I'd look into the admin, if that's the only other

  17. Statistics online at Wgu

    featherzRN replied to 4sunshine's topic in Western Governors University

    I did 50 CU's in 14 weeks, so you are probably thinking of me.. And the stats class at WGU is NOT bad - it's all terminology and concepts, no calculator needed.

  18. MSN - Informatics - Suggestions?

    featherzRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just finishing my BSN and thinking of getting the MSN in Informatics. Currenly, I'm looking for online school suggestions that are not horribly pricey, all online, and regionally accredited at a...

  19. November 1st

    featherzRN replied to Crt2rn's topic in Western Governors University

    Good luck to the newbies!! And don't stress too much on the transcripts, they threw the book at me and I managed to get it all done. It's an awesome

  20. WGU community health question

    featherzRN replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    You pick a topic that you can get done, somehow. I did disaster planning, which allowed me to pick up some hours on evenings and weekends. I have to admit to taking some time off work to get it done...

  21. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    featherzRN replied to BadMoonOnTheRise's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A term starts every month, on the first. So it depends on when you sign up.

  22. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    featherzRN replied to BadMoonOnTheRise's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Everything is self paced and competency based. Some classes you write papers to pass "performance assessment", others you take an 'objective assessment' which is pretty much a final exam. If you know...

  23. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    featherzRN replied to BadMoonOnTheRise's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did WGU in 14 weeks. However, that required me to give up any semblance of a life for those 14 weeks and is not necessarily possible for everyone. You do need to come up with 90 hours to do a...

  24. Rn-bsn or rn-msn

    featherzRN replied to afox's topic in Western Governors University

    I did the BSN first. Not sure if I want an MSN yet, and now that I am done with the BSN through WGU I am taking a break to see what's next. Both options are

  25. Aspen University MSN vs other MSN online programs

    featherzRN replied to abundanthealthcoach's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I like the looks of Aspen, but their lack of regional accreditation is stopping my enrollment. Yes, I know they have DETC and nursing accreds, but keep in mind that IF you want to move past Aspen, you...
