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

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    It's 90 hours in the community. You pick the topic, based on healthy people 2010 - I did disaster preparation, so I spent 90 hours going to disaster drills, interviewing the fire and police chief,...

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

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Some tips.. if you are using the webcam, schedule your test 5 days out then CALL them and tell them you want it earlier. Some people have had the test rescheduled to the same day you call! You can...

  3. WGU community health question

    featherzRN replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    For the genogram, you can just create boxes in word and use those. There's a tool at the top of your toolbar that just looks like a box - make different size boxes and it's easy. Connect with arrows,...

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

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Yep, that's the idea! I had over four months left in my term when I finished the first community health course, so my mentor had me start the practicum. And now as of yesterday I am done, 3.5 months...

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Just put in my application for graduation. 14 weeks. 50 CU's. So yes, it is still possible if you have no life and ignore everyone you know for a few months.

  6. FINALLY starting 10/1

    featherzRN replied to NurseNightOwl's topic in Western Governors University

    Biochem is easy to do at home. It's an arts and crafts project made into a bunch of powerpoints. There's a 20-day plan to get it done in that timeframe, but many of us have done it even quicker than...

  7. Capella University vs. WGU for RN-BSN

    featherzRN replied to blackeyedsusan's topic in Western Governors University

    I love WGU! Just about to graduate with my BSN (one class to go), and it's going to cost me about $3000 and I did it in less than one term. I would not consider going anywhere else! :) As for the...

  8. FINALLY starting 10/1

    featherzRN replied to NurseNightOwl's topic in Western Governors University

    Quite a few, 50CU. But I'm a nut and did nothing else but work and study. My husband probably forgot my name. :) I'm not done yet, still have one test next week which is a 50/50 chance I'll pass. If I...

  9. MSN - Informatics - Suggestions?

    featherzRN replied to featherzRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks! Oh, yes, my last requirement, no site visits unless I can drive there from upstate NY.

  10. Does WGU offer basic core classes? I want to apply for their BS Nursing (Prelicensure

    featherzRN replied to unicorn86's topic in Western Governors University

    Probably not applicable to a prelicensure person, as I think you need them beforehand, but to anyone else who may need a/p/micro, I did these at WGU and they were quite do-able. I did physiology over...

  11. FINALLY starting 10/1

    featherzRN replied to NurseNightOwl's topic in Western Governors University

    You guys will love WGU! It's awesome. I started in June and am almost done. Just one class left (fingers

  12. Don't like the robo-calls

    featherzRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Have never gotten a robocall either. My husband put in an application, but has not yet signed up, and he gets about a call a week from his admissions counselor, but they sound like regular calls just...

  13. Beware of what you read about how much time to complete RN-BSN

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Wow! and I thought my 50 credits in three months was good. I am not worthy!!! =) Yes, other people have posted that were from years past, but it is totally still possible to accelerate - some of...

  14. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

    featherzRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in Western Governors University

    All I was asked is "Are you working" and to send a resume. No one ever asked how many hours I was working or anything like that. And yes, there are a few work related assignments near the end, but...

  15. Can anyone help clarify the Comm Health req for CA? On the fence in regard to WGU.

    featherzRN replied to jeffrdl's topic in Western Governors University

    You have to wait to be enrolled in the class to start getting hours, but you can be enrolled as soon as you pass the theory portion of community health. After you pass that class, if there's enough...

  16. Beware of what you read about how much time to complete RN-BSN

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Actually, I started on 6/1/13 and am almost done. I had no prior BS degree and I had a LOT of extras to do, 50 units total. Lots and lots. Had to take A/P/Micro, plus sociology, biochem, stats,...

  17. Wanted to finish at Excelsior for ADN to BSN, turns out I need a new plan

    featherzRN replied to tater.jake's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I really like WGU. It's extremely flexible and you can essentially test out of classes, much like excelsior used to be. Plus it's very

  18. Can anyone help clarify the Comm Health req for CA? On the fence in regard to WGU.

    featherzRN replied to jeffrdl's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm not in California, but all students have to complete the 90 hours. Those of us NOT in california just don't need to have a 'home base' and don't need to have a signature on our hours. The hours...

  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 am under the new program (started june 1) and have almost completed the program. One more class and I just need to finish my practicum and I am done. So it's possible, but you need to work at it...

  20. Is anyone out there having such a hard time with WGU?

    featherzRN replied to E2NURSE's topic in Western Governors University

    There's a thread on facebook (the wgu rn to bsn group) about all the recent failures on RUC1. If you have failed, please leave feedback in the COS! I have heard they are working on this but they won't...

  21. WGU's New MSN curriculum

    featherzRN replied to LoneStar1908's topic in Western Governors University

    I did speak with my mentor, who is wonderful, but she was not able to switch me to the 'old' MSN mid-term. But she says she did try!

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

    featherzRN replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am loving WGU so far.. almost 2 months in and just finishing up 31 credits. :) I'm at about 100 a unit now, which will only go down as I take more

  23. Health Assessment Class

    featherzRN replied to travelovingnurse's topic in Western Governors University

    It's not too bad. There's a study guide in the communities that is helpful. Also watch assessment videos on youtube. The test is almost all assessment and not so much diseases.

  24. Transcript evaluation

    featherzRN replied to Nurse Kyles's topic in Western Governors University

    With me, my enrollment counselor filed the form. Didn't help, but I tried. In your case, it sounds like you have a good possibility of winning that appeal. If it helps any I had to retake physiology...

  25. Just finished my BSN today 7/7/13!

    featherzRN replied to LindseyRN86's topic in Western Governors University

    I live in the boonies also, so it's going to be difficult to get those 90 (!!) hours. I am trying to get em started early.
