Hi, I was a WGU RN-MSN Education student. I graduated with my BSN in 2018. I chose to not complete the MSN Education. Why did I choose RN-MSN and not RN-BSN?: When I started the program, I very much was interested in getting my BSN but I was also...

Hi kf-lagcc18, I really love your quote you post by your name "If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working for it".

Hi, Cmr3009, if you are looking for FB groups, look for the following all of which I follow & have been very helpful to me: WGU RN TO BSN Support Group, WGU RN BSN-MSN-Support, and WGU RN to MSN Education.

Hello hlnorrn, May I suggest that for info on WGU that you go on Facebook. They have FB groups for every WGU major and they are regularly updated. I am currently a student in the WGU MSN Education track, RN-MSN (just about getting into the bulk of ...

Hi, I have worked as a travel nurse in chronic dialysis for 2+ years. I started with Foundation (2 assignments) and tried Quik Travel (7 assignments). I am now thinking about giving Renal Reserve a try. Really would like to find a place where they...

I am so glad you posted (and also Kciccone). I am doing the RN-MSN Education degree at WGU. I am 3 courses away from fulfilling the credits for my BSN and have been thinking about going elsewhere and completing an FNP (instead of the MSN Education...

Do you ever read any of Suze Orman? I really like her (I know some people might not) anyhow - she talks about how school debt is a great investment into yourself. I say go for it. Talk to some doctors, they have all kinds of debt, deep into the 6 ...

Hi Nitfree, I am just starting Community Health C229, the field experience. I can let u know how it goes, but I am thinking it might take me maybe 10 weeks to finish it (more or less). My biggest hurdle was finding an approved site. My understand...

Hi Bleote, Don't be nervous. Know this - YOU WILL DEFINITELY get through this OA. By the end of the course (like me) you will be surprised what new things you've learned. You can post questions here on allnurses or look on the web for help. the n...

I wish you best of luck with this, too. I've noticed it's hard to get good info about WGU to NP. I am just about finished with my BSN at WGU. I'm hoping WGU is able to offer NP sooner or later. Have you called any NP schools you're interested in ...

Take it through WGU or somewhere similar. One thing I think is not really written much about all the money saved by going to school online. - I can not believe how much time and energy I am saving (at WGU) in terms of NOT having to deal with parking...

I am in the middle of the WGU RN-MSN Education track (looks like I won't be finishing the MSN until Spring 2017). I was wondering - for any other MSN graduates, what kind of work can I look forward to applying? I started this whole thing because I ...

When I have had different papers require revising, I must admit, the thing that hurts most is my pride. I really wanted to be one of those WGU students that gets through the entire problem not needing a single revision.... But, whatever, that ain't...

I am glad to see the comments above about life as an EMT-B. Studying for my pre nursing school classes, I worked as an EMT in Inglewood, California. We were earning like a dollar or two more than minimum wage but it was the most fun I ever had. I ...

I think you'll be fine. And I think just about any future employer would agree - you are doing the right thing. I really, really love the flexibility of WGU. All kinds of things have happened in my professional and personal life since I started W...

Take the two different pre-tests and study the focused reviews. You may do better than you think. I found the focused review very helpful even though (unlike Nutrition) this was definitely a course that took me longer to pass than I would have lik...

I just wanted to add - in the last year, I have run into 3 nurses who earned their BSN's through WGU. They all told me they had wished they had gone RN-MSN because it would have forced them to stay in school, go beyond the BSN.

Nutrition was super easy. Didn't even need to study. Take the pretest ASAP, schedule the OA and you'll be done with it before you know it.

Hello, I am currently like halfway (maybe more) on the RN -MSN Education track at WGU. I, too, had been thinking about NP, but am glad I am on track for the MSN Education. Originally, I was applying to WGU for RN - BSN, but WGU admissions asked me...

I appreciated your post so much. I am in the RN - MSN education program with WGU and have been thinking about bailing (because it would be so easy to just say "ehhh, I'm tired of school"). But, because of your post I will soldier on. I have run in...

I started June of 2014. Hope to finish the bsn before the end of May 2016.

I am currently visiting family in Boston. I have my RN in Calif and Mass but it seems financially, it makes more sense to work in California. Seems to me California is the only state that pays overtime in one day after 8 hour. That enables a chroni...

Wow - this is a great post. I've started travel nursing when I happened to be in the middle of the RN-MSN education program at WGU. I'm so glad others have posted here. I've noticed, there are several challenges with travel nursing and going to s...

Hang in there. Do you live near a proctored/testing site? For all my objective assessments, I have chosen to go to a scheduled proctored site (A Sylvan Learning Center) not far from my apartment. This way you don't have to worry about tech issues ...

I think that's awesome - you passed. I, too, did not pass on the first try and that was tough. Congrats. You're the best
