  1. WGU Practicum experience

    RN*mommy posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Hi there, Just a quick question regarding the practicum for the RN-BSN program. I'm going to be starting my 3rd month of the program on Oct 1st and have consistantly finished 3 classes a month. I...

  2. WGU Practicum experience

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

    Thanks again Klone. I just turned in the first task for HAT1 and I'm due to talk to my mentor tomorrow. I'm going to ask to add the practicum on the 1st of November. That gives me 3 months to do the...

  3. WGU Practicum experience

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

    Okay, so I'm not crazy. Thank you Klone. I've read about so many students who have done this program in 6 months so I wasn't sure why I kept being told by both my mentor and the HAT1 mentor to do my...

  4. Starting WGU RN to BSN program August 1st

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

    Hi Lynette! Congrats on starting WGU soon! Ok, where to begin...lol. WGU is competency based, which pans out to no syllabus, no books (well, e-books) and no limit on how many classes you want to plow...

  5. Starting WGU RN to BSN program August 1st

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

    Klone is right, do what YOU want. The English class is hard! (Thank you for validating my thoughts on that one Klone!) I think as you go through other classes you will see exactly how different the...

  6. Starting WGU RN to BSN program August 1st

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

    I did the nursing class while studying the math because I couldn't do just math. My attention span wasn't there. So I would do math for awhile, then spend an hour or two on the nursing stuff. It...

  7. Starting WGU RN to BSN program August 1st

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

    My mentor told me to take a preassessment exam right away when she signed me up for the class so I could gauge my level. Then when I requested to take the final I also requested they open up a second...

  8. Starting WGU RN to BSN program August 1st

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

    I'm so glad I'm not alone! I'm doing the research paper course too and can't stand it! I've written other papers through WGU without all this hubbub and received perfect scores. I get why we have to...

  11. Biochem not a requirement

    RN*mommy replied to Theone40's topic in Western Governors University

    I just started the RN-BSN program in August of this year and was majorly stressing the biochem. I appealed the class before starting because I had read that previous chemistry classes counted for...

  12. Starting WGU RN-BSN program Sept. 1st Anyone with me?!

    RN*mommy replied to LindseyRN86's topic in Western Governors University

    I started on August 1st. My first classes were biochem, math, nutrition and nursing roles. I've finished biochem, have the math test tomorrow and am waiting for my last task in the nursing class to be...

  14. Starting WGU RN-BSN program Sept. 1st Anyone with me?!

    RN*mommy replied to LindseyRN86's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm taking the exam for QLC1 on Friday, will let you know how it goes. It is a lot of material, but mostly review of algebra and geometry. For all those worried about biochem...I was right with you a...

    RN*mommy posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Hi all, I'm starting the RN-BSN program on August 1st and I can't be more excited. I've already started working on some of my classes since the objectives have been revealed to me. I did have one...

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

    Thanks Klone! You were right! I did learn a lot as well. In fact one of the task topics hit very close to home and i had researched it about 10 years ago. Having the opportunity to re-research it and...

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

    Well biochem was definitely challenging, but I'm pleased to say my last task was approved yesterday and I'm officially onto my next course! I learned a lot in the biochem module and I LOVED the...

  18. Any disadvantages to WGU? Considering the program

    RN*mommy replied to vladi50's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi, I just started the RN-BSN program two weeks ago, but I can tell you it was after a lot of research. WGU is definitely too good, but it is all true. I don't work full-time, but I'm a part-time...

  19. Starting WGU RN to BSN program August 1st

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

    I'm sorry you hit road blocks into starting tomorrow, that would frustrate me as well. You have such a positive outlook though that no doubt you will do great in the program. May I suggest that once...

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

    Thank you, and good luck to you as well! I am certain we will both survive and be biochem experts...ok, not expert...but passing works!

  21. Starting the RN-BSN Program Wednesday!! Biochem question...

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

    Ok, saying I "hate" science was probably the wrong term. More like I strongly dislike science. Probably a good reason why I became a nurse instead of a scientist. Just because I generally don't like...

  22. NICU/SCN Staffing Questions

    RN*mommy posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hello, Where to begin... I currently work for a small-ish urban hospital in the Special Care Nursery. Our hospital probably does approximately 80-90 births a month. Our SCN has a total capacity of 6...

  23. NICU/SCN Staffing Questions

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

    I should also add that we have added a lot of new staff to our nursery, and many of these new hires have come from level 3 NICU's. There is definitely a general dissatisfaction amongst them when they...

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

    TuTonka - I had to give you a Kudos for your post. I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm glad JCAHO exists and I'm glad they try to keep things in check...but sometimes it is so apparent (as...
