  1. 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

    With what WGU is telling you needs to be done for your degree, how many credits does it end up being? I'm only asking because I recall being upset having to take 4 "extra" classes outside their...

  2. Can/Have you got a job with a degree from WGU?

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

    Hmm, not on my phone app

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

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

    I didn't start the program at the beginning of this year, but I did start in August of last year. I originally was in the RN-BSN program but midterm I was allowed to switch to the RN-MSN education...

  4. Failed Assessment test

    RN*mommy replied to nightnurse279's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm sorry to hear you had problems with the admissions test. As I recall it wasn't the easiest exam I've ever done! I'm not really familiar with the resources available to help you brush up on math...

  5. Starting WGU RN-MSN Education program 3/1/13

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

    Congratulations Karin and the best of luck to you! I hope you enjoy the program as much as I

  6. Can/Have you got a job with a degree from WGU?

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

    Sometimes I forget this isn't Facebook and become upset when I can't "like" someone's post. Haha. Just want to congratulate you and your wife on your accomplishments! It's awesome you went for your...

  7. Quitting a job after a short stay...

    RN*mommy posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'll try to keep this short. I work for a large system as a PRN nurse. I took a second position in the same system and have worked there a month. This second position was something I have never done...

  8. Quitting a job after a short stay...

    RN*mommy replied to RN*mommy's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you very much for the shot of confidence I needed. I just am nervous since this isn't something I've done before. I plan to go with honesty as the best policy with this situation. I did hear...

  9. Starting WGU RN-BSN

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

    Kfwinslow, I honestly love my mentor...but she never seemed really positive with me finishing in a term. Even when I was completing 3 classes a month she would mention holding my practicum until the...

  10. SANE PRN with other part time job??

    RN*mommy replied to LillyFish's topic in Forensic

    With SANE I don't think there's a "typical call". Each case presents it's own challenges and twists and turns. Hours fluctuate as well. Where I live some SATC want 32 call hours a schedule and others...

  11. Starting WGU RN-BSN

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

    I started the WGU RN-BSN program in August of last year and received my BSN at the end of January. I worked hard and finished 35 credits in under 6 months so it's doable! Depends on how much time you...

  12. Can/Have you got a job with a degree from WGU?

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

    Klone brings up a great point! A BSN certainly helps with clinical ladders and such. So a BSN through WGU could certainly help a RN move up the ladder. Where I used to work the nurses would get points...

  13. Can/Have you got a job with a degree from WGU?

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

    I'm sure that's probably very true! I've been a nurse almost 10 years and I've already sensed the shift. Back when I graduated I probably could have worked anywhere, but now my experience plus my BSN...

  14. New Policy at WGU regarding admissions

    RN*mommy replied to hailey1122's topic in Western Governors University

    I haven't gone to the website to look, but I'm sure there is a disclaimer that admissions procedures are subject to change at anytime. If I'm wrong, then shame on them for not adding that. Have you...

  15. Can/Have you got a job with a degree from WGU?

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

    It is a BSN or MSN from an accredited school...so if a job is looking for a BSN graduate you certainly have as much chance as anyone to get the job. Hopefully if employers aren't familiar with the...

  16. Has anyone taken Biochem at WGU?

    RN*mommy replied to natalie877's topic in Western Governors University

    I was very nervous about the biochem requirement when I started the program as well. As Klone said there's no lab associated with it, and that was good. I bit the bullet so to say and took it as my...

  17. beanie babies

    RN*mommy replied to anon456's topic in Pediatric

    I know my old hospital wouldn't give out beanie babies in the NICU. The infection risk for sure, but the safe sleep issues as well. I was constantly pulling stuffed animals and the like out of cribs...

  18. Can you be a pp or mother baby nurse without doing l&d?

    RN*mommy replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It definitely depends on the hospitals setup. If it's an LDRP, well then you have to do L&D. Hospitals with L&D separate from their postpartum unit would be what you would want to look for. I...

  19. Tired HH nurse

    RN*mommy replied to IRNB's topic in Home Health

    I am so glad I found this post! I took a temporary prn hh job and I've been struggling. I love going into the home and doing my thing, but my issue is making the appointments. People don't answer the...

  20. SANE PRN with other part time job??

    RN*mommy replied to LillyFish's topic in Forensic

    I currently hold 3 PRN positions, one being SANE. I don't need benefits so this works well with my

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

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

    Hi there! I know my student success kit showed up within the month of me starting, and it was awesome! All kinds of WGU goodies! I'm also a huge fan of the PERRLA software. Money well spent! Best of...

  22. 35 pages long papers to write while in RN-BSN program?

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

    I just completed my RN-BSN program and my longest paper was my practicum and it was 25 pages...that was way over the suggested number, however I'm a "fluff" writer...love my adjectives. I also...

  23. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

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

    I'm sorry to hear you're having health issues! I hope things are okay and you're doing well. My kids were actually huge helps to me...motivation! Haha. I'm also a night owl, that helped a lot! I won't...

  24. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

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

    Ditto to Klone. I did take general chemistry before being accepted into my ADN program, but that was because I never touched a chemistry class in high school. WGU had me do biochem, that's

  25. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

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

    Living in an unregulated state means I didn't have to have a set preceptor. Instead I visited many different community organizations and interviewed many people in the organizations from nurses, APNs,...
