  1. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

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

    The exact cost is $3395...I just got my bill for my next term. That's per term, or 6 months. So I paid that amount for 35 credits. Not bad at

  2. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

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

    In the beginning I devoted at minimum 2-3 hours an evening mixed in with a few full days (6-8hrs) to class work. As I got a good grasp on what was expected of me and fell into a good pattern, I was...

  3. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

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

    Good luck to you! Are you considering WGU? I really did love their program. The flexibility won me over. I liked finishing classes on my time and being able to dive right into the next one. My...

  4. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

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

    RNfromSA, Esme is right. Many colleges will not accept BSN credits from other schools as they want the money put into their school. I know WGU would make you start from scratch and take all their BSN...

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

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

    I'm hoping to follow in your footsteps! I'm just about to submit my practicum and (fingers crossed) when it passes I'm officially done with the BSN in 6 months. Then onto my MSN in education! Would...

  7. WGU (Western Governors) no longer "Accelerated and Affordable"

    RN*mommy replied to Hexum944's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm not in the prelicensure program, however I'm in the RN-MSN track and all I wanted to add is that I've been contacted at least once, maybe twice in the almost 6 months I've been in the program with...

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

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

    Hi, I'm finishing up my BSN on the path to the MSN. Just wanted to let you know that biochem and nutrition aren't to bad at all. The biochem had me scared so it was my first class. I was able to...

  9. WGU Transfer Evaluation Questions - RN-MSN Leadership Start 2/1/13

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

    I feel that having a reevaluation of your transfer credits might benefit you, especially with the microbiology course. I attempted to do this with a few of my classes and it didn't pan out...but that...

  10. Can WGU RN-BSN be completed while actively enlisted in the Navy?

    RN*mommy replied to Robins19's topic in Western Governors University

    First of all, thank you for your service to our country! About WGU, I'm no expert by far, but seeing as how much of the program is based online I don't really see any barriers there. The only issue I...

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

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

    Is it different for the RN-BSN program regarding finishing and receiving the degree then? Just recalled my student mentor told me that if I held my practicum into the next term, I would only pay for...

  12. Tell me about your baby friendly initiative...

    RN*mommy posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in a small community non-profit hospital where we have baby friendly accreditation. I agree with the idea of breastfeeding and have personally breastfed all my children. What I feel, however,...

    Hi there! I'm currently working on my practicum as well, and it's on....childhood obesity! I can share with you some of the people / places my mentor suggested to me for hours. WIC clinics, schools,...

  14. Tell me about your baby friendly initiative...

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

    I have no idea how we passed our re-accreditation. That's the million dollar question. I appreciate your answer though, it helps me see where things might be lagging in our set up. What you said about...

  15. MSN Capstone?

    RN*mommy replied to Fairy1's topic in Western Governors University

    Let me clarify I'm talking about the RN-BSN program when I say that no, WGU does not have "clinical" hours. Only the practicum with its 90 hour minimum. There is a prelicensure program which I don't...

  16. MSN Capstone?

    RN*mommy replied to Fairy1's topic in Western Governors University

    The WGU practicum isn't a "clinical". Some states are regulated and therefore a bit different in what the requirements are, however for all intense purposes you basically choose a topic of concern in...

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

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

    I'm jumping in here...been in the program since August. Just to ease your mind a bit nutrition isn't horrible. I think I finished it in a week. I had to take an online exam, but it wasn't proctored. I...

  18. MSN Capstone?

    RN*mommy replied to Fairy1's topic in Western Governors University

    Sorry for my delay! 1. I'm not 100% sure on the names of the repeat class(es). I think there are 2 and if I'm wrong please someone correct me. I know I lost one of my BSN courses when I switched...

  19. MSN Capstone?

    RN*mommy replied to Fairy1's topic in Western Governors University

    I actually switched to the RN-MSN program recently from the BSN program simply because waiting until the end of my term to take the "repeat" classes wasn't something I really wanted to do. According...

  20. WGU prelicensure vs RN to BSN

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

    I would try calling the admissions office at WGU and pose your question to them. They are extremely helpful and can set you on the right path. I know when I applied to WGU I received many credits for...

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

    RN*mommy replied to dalman97's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I can't answer your question about the specific programs you are looking at, but wanted to share what my husband did to go from emt-p to ADN/RN. He didn't do an online program, but he went to a local...

  25. Western Governor's University

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

    I'm not really sure. I would recommend calling their 800 number and talking to an enrollment counselor. I've always found them to be very helpful and knowledgeable. Sorry I'm not more
