  1. CSC1

    featherzRN replied to XmasShopperRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I started with nutrition and health assessment and managed to get them both tested about a week and a half after my term started, so it's not so much that they are long, but it is a lot of information...

  2. Question about evaluation

    featherzRN replied to schnookimz's topic in Western Governors University

    This is correct. The prereqs (just to use that term) can be taken before or after. My first two classes I took were nursing classes and now I am taking a couple of general ed. Your mentor will help...

  3. Transcript Evaluation

    featherzRN replied to Bortaz's topic in Western Governors University

    I have to take TONS of extra classes since I went to Excelsior for my RN. They didn't accept my physiology OR my micro. I had a sociology clep, but clep won't send scores older than 20 years so I am...

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

    featherzRN replied to E2NURSE's topic in Western Governors University

    I passed statistics yesterday, yay! :) Depends on the class. Had to study hardcore for statistics because I started with zero knowledge. The others I knew something about, making it easy to study....

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

    featherzRN replied to E2NURSE's topic in Western Governors University

    I've taken (since June 1): Care of the elder adult, nutrition, Health assessment, physiology. Taking stats test tomorrow and finishing up on physio lab so IF I pass stats (not my best subject), I'll...

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

    featherzRN replied to E2NURSE's topic in Western Governors University

    I just started WGU and have completed four (almost 5) courses in the last three weeks. So it's definitely doable, don't want to scare anyone off! :) But this style of learning is definitely not for...

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

    featherzRN replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    I graduated with excelsior. Know that you'll need to retake a/p/micro if you tested out with those from excelsior, as WGU will require labs. Other than that, loving wgu so far!

  8. Anyone else starting RN-to-BSN on 7/1?

    featherzRN replied to XmasShopperRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Lots. =( I have 50 units to take thanks to not getting credit for a bunch of things. I hope to have 12 done by the end of the first month, then I am trying for another 12 in the next month or so. That...

  9. Anyone else starting RN-to-BSN on 7/1?

    featherzRN replied to XmasShopperRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I started 6/1 - good luck to all you 7/1 peeps! nine units done already so hurry up and get started.

  10. I am 24 days into WGU's RN-MSN program and I love it,

    featherzRN replied to skoolrn's topic in Western Governors University

    Just saw this - I passed the DOV1 about a week into my first term. Get the study guide in the communities and add some gyn and you'll be fine. Test is not that

  11. Wondering about books

    featherzRN replied to schnookimz's topic in Western Governors University

    I read all the books on my Ipad or Kindle. Even better IMO.

  12. Wondering about books

    featherzRN replied to schnookimz's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm in the BSN program and all my books thus far are e-books. From what I can tell, I don't see any books that are mandatory for

  13. "Wait for the nurse"

    featherzRN replied to brido's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work at a clinic/MD office and I often fill in for the LPN's and room patients. We don't have any MA's - all nurses, either RN or LPN. So it IS possible an RN/LPN is rooming patients at some...

  14. Any AFFORDABLE BSN colleges accepting Excelsior College (EC) Science Credits?

    featherzRN replied to Sbarbre's topic in Excelsior College

    I am going to WGU and am in the same boat. But you know, it's assessment based. You can whip through those classes quickly if you know them and if you are planning to go on, most higher level...

  15. ADN @ Excelsior to enrollment in WGU questions

    featherzRN replied to Nervous1's topic in Western Governors University

    Same here. They accepted my anatomy (with lab) to cover the first anatomy class, but I have to retake physiology, micro, and labs for both. Ah

  16. WGU RN-BSN in 1 1/2 years??

    featherzRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    My mentor is unlocking any class I want - currently I have five open at one time. She says she's willing to go as fast as I can take them. So I don't think it's any sort of organized plot, probably...

    Have you checked out

  18. Applied today, we'll see what happens

    featherzRN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Western Governors University

    I am starting June 1 and I applied around the first of may, so they really aren't far behind at

  19. I would like to know how Chambelain students are able to pay for their tuition?

    featherzRN replied to jillybean6812's topic in School, College Programs

    WGU is 3K a term, most can complete in about two terms. I wouldn't pay $85k!!! Now that I look back you aren't an RN yet? I'd get an RN through a local school and then go an online school for the

  20. Applied today, we'll see what happens

    featherzRN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes, they will most likely make you take biochem. My regular chem with lab was a no-go. =( But it actually sounds like a fun class and there's a '20 day plan' to get it done in that timeframe or...

  21. Fastest & Easiest RN-BSN program online?

    featherzRN replied to Hdyoungrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Kinda depends on what you consider 'easy' and cheap, I guess. I'm going to WGU - it can be VERY fast (some have completed in one term - but not me, as I have too many non nursing classes to take)...

  22. University of Louisiana-Lafayette online RN-BSN

    featherzRN replied to bridge2RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I ended up going with WGU (which also lets you take chemistry with them if you need to). So far so good! Wanted to try these guys but could not find enough information from people who were actually in...

  23. RN-BSN June 1st start

    featherzRN replied to Chechy's topic in Western Governors University

    Took the pre-assessment for nutrition and got 90%! Now on to finishing up study on Health assessment. Hoping to be ready to take both as soon as term starts (when it can be scheduled, of

  24. RN-BSN June 1st start

    featherzRN replied to Chechy's topic in Western Governors University

    Yah, I figured that. But if I had the cam I might be able to at least schedule it on day 1 (for a later date). No worries, I'll just start working on another class until it gets here.

  25. RN-BSN June 1st start

    featherzRN replied to Chechy's topic in Western Governors University

    I asked my mentor that a few days ago - she said they don't send it out until the term officially starts - kind of a bummer, as I was hoping to just take those two assessments on day 1! LOL. Wouldn't...
