  1. Good resource for neonate lab values?

    RN*mommy replied to RN*mommy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Oh wow, thank you so much! That's awesome. I did wonder about retic values as well...that was thrown around a lot on my first day regarding a baby from an abruption. I know it has to do with potential...

  2. "Baby Friendly"

    RN*mommy replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My experience with baby friendly is largely negative. I worked on a baby friendly unit and in the SCN for almost 5 years. I can only speak towards the unit I worked on, but having 4 kids myself...all...

  3. Biochemistry pre-req

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

    I can't speak to the pre-licensure program, but I can answer your first question. Your student mentor opens the classes for you. In the beginning they open a set amount...the number you would need to...

  4. WGU - RN to BSN - 90 hr clinical requirement. How are you meeting it?

    RN*mommy replied to JennRN65's topic in Western Governors University

    I finished my practicum in December/January of this year and that is not the case. It may have been in the past but most of your hours need to be logged on a site with someone you are talking with....

  5. Is WGU just another money muncher?

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

    I believe you should try for a transcript re-evaluation and hope for the best. I was able to complete my BSN in just under 6 months and with only 4 pre-reqs, however I had almost completed an...

  6. Starting RN to BSN 3/1/13. Who's with me?

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

    The objective assessments or "tests" are done on the computer with a webcam set up to proctor your exam. There is also an option to take your exams at a predetermined testing site where they proctor...

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

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

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

    Not knowing the program changes that have occurred I can't really comment much about that...but I can tell you that my wonderful mentor was always a bit of a Debbie Downer when we would discuss...

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

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

    This is very interesting to me since I completed my RN-BSN in February in just under 6 months and under the old curriculum. I know classes have changed and are different but I'm curious what classes...

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

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

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

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

    I wouldn't say it's terrible. They adjusted their curriculum as all schools do, and unfortunately the adjustment didn't work. It sounds like they are already taking measures to fix the issue and not...

  12. WGU MSN in 6 months

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

    I can only speak for myself as it differs for each person based on pre-reqs, but I did 35 credits in just under 6

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

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

    I'm happy to hear things are going so well for you! I do have a word of caution though. In speaking with my mentor a few weeks ago she was telling me about some of the program changes. One change was...

  14. RN-MSN starting 1/1/13. Anyone with me?

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

  15. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

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

    Definitely! I'd often try to determine if I was going to be finishing a class over the weekend and contact my mentor proactively to add more

  16. Applying to wgu rn-bsn

    RN*mommy replied to Reyval04's topic in Western Governors University

    I agree with Klone. I was nervous going into it as well but I was trying to fast track my start date so I jumped right in, no studying. I guess if you really felt you needed to review material you...

  17. WGU evaluated my transcipts and now I'm not sure I should choose them

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

    I was disappointed when my request was denied as well, but in the end I actually found it worthwhile and was still able to complete in my target time...I bet you will as well. Eye on the prize now!...

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

  20. WGU RN to BSN. Starting 4/1/13 Anyone?

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

    I'm sorry your start date got pushed back, but you can use the time to prepare! Unless things have changed you can see the rubrics and some of the work involved once you have access to the student...

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

  22. Starting WGU RN-BSN

    RN*mommy replied to 2shihtzus's topic in Western Governors University

    The Thinkwell lectures are associated with the biochem class. I'm not sure you can access them without being enrolled in the class..? Each section of the biochem class has specific lectures associated...
