  1. Hi all, just wanted to give encouragement that it is possible to complete your RN-BSN in 6 months! I received word today that my last task was graded and passed! I started the program August 1st and...
  2. Interview

    I'm in the exact same boat as you, well actually you have more experience than I do in some ways. I've been a nurse for over 12 years as well. I started out in a peds clinic, then moved to a...
  3. Hi, I think I can offer some insight. I recently interviewed with both HR and the hiring manager for a different positron. Sadly, I wasn't offered the position but the experience with interviewing...
  4. Hello, I've read through these forums at great length, so I do apologize if my question is redundant, but I've not seen much info on how to get started in case management. I'm a nurse with 13 years...
  5. How best to get a foot in the door for CM?

    Thank you StayatHomeNurse. Those are all very doable tasks I can work on while job hunting as well. I will definitely work on them. The wonderful thing is I have free access to a lot of CEU thanks to...
  6. How best to get a foot in the door for CM?

    Thank you MBARNBSN. I think appreciate the insight you have given me as well as the direction. I appreciate the
  7. bsn-msn

    I finished my MSN in education in February. It was a wonderful experience. Lots of hard-work and dedication on my part. I'm not currently teaching or interested in doing so. I wanted my MSN and...
  8. Graduation rate

    Txredapple hit the nail on the head. I didn't find WGU that difficult to do as long as I stayed on task. The minute I skewed from my study regimen the tougher time I had getting back on task. The role...
  9. My student mentor didn't even know about the change so she kept telling me to wait for the email to schedule my over the phone oral. I finally contacted my capstone mentor who laid it all out for me....
  10. You're doing great! I finally wrapped up my MSN in February and what a load off my mind! The oral was crazy funny. They don't do the phone calls anymore but instead you download some software and have...
  11. United Healthcare Telephonic Case Management

    Keep applying, but perhaps tweak your resume to really highlight your experience. Write a good cover letter that also highlights your past experience as a case manager and your telephonic skills. Do...
  12. Nursing Fear

    I've lost a few babies working in the NICU but peds is a scary new ball game. A dear friend of mine works in ped palliative care at our local children's hospital as an APN. At first I thought she was...
  13. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

  14. RN to MSN

    Hello, I'm currently in the MSN Education track but I'm doing the old track so I can't really comment on the changes. I also did my RN-BSN through WGU and received my BSN last February. I'm currently...
  15. WGU's New MSN curriculum

    I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. I actually changed from the BSN to the MSN track in the middle of my term. I had talked to ****and learned about the bridge program but I didn't like the idea of...
  16. Ok, I'm seeing the bigger picture now thanks to your additional information. It comes down to a numbers game with credits earned and credits required...I understand that. I've always viewed my program...
  17. I hope you don't feel picked on, I'm just trying to understand why NOT obtaining a BSN would benefit someone? Especially if the MSN program costs less and can be somewhat accelerated. If I'm able to...
  18. I certainly look at obtaining my BSN as part of my MSN program a huge plus! It enabled me to land a job that only hires BSN nurses. I'm currently working in my dream job while still earning my MSN...
  19. I'm confused? I started with an ADN and I'm in the RN-MSN Education track. I received my BSN in January and will hopefully have my MSN by January of next
  20. Changes to MSN Ed program coming....

  21. Changes to MSN Ed program coming....

    I think I'm missing the boat here. I, too, would love taking an advanced assessment class and the patho. I'm in the MSN education and have 17 credits left. I'm guessing my program won't change? Hmm....
  22. Well I didn't take statistics so I can't help you there. I did take biochem back in August. I can tell you they use the Thinkwell lectures and you can purchase them online...but my understanding is...
  23. "Baby Friendly"

    I can't agree with you more NicuGal. I myself was entirely formula fed due to being adopted. I've done well in life, currently working on my MSN and no health issues. I completely believe in...
  24. "Baby Friendly"

    I don't think I would have agreed to my kids getting an IV either! My kids were, fortunately, all full-term and didn't require a NICU stay. As we all know, supply isn't really an issue those first few...
  25. I've been a nurse for almost 10 years and I've worked in peds and most recently a level II SCN. I've moved on to the challenge of a level III NICU and realized how much I've forgotten. The SCN I...
