skoolrn BSN, MSN, RN

and here's what I have done/learned. I have finished THREE classes and have 9 competency units/credits in 3 weeks! If you have prior experience/knowledge you can fly through. Some classes have "outside vendor" components to the WGU course and they a...

Anyone starting with me??

I would advise anyone considering the RN-MSN program to wait. There have been a lot of course changes and those of us in these courses are having all kinds of issues. I won't get into it here, just wait until these courses have been looked at and st...

done! good luck with your thesis!

Nutrition has to be less than 5 years old and to get out of taking Biochem, you have to have had a class called "Biochemistry" on your transcript. Other chemistries don't count. Hope that helps!

great site!!

@Reyval04 haha! No I did 33 cu's in 5.5 months!! It took me 3 weeks of 25 hrs a week of studying to pass stats. I was really stressed out like you are. I attended all the webinars and memorized terms and did the study guides. I compared my study gu...

My question is who is going to train the volunteers?? I wouldn't do it. I cannot "teach" 20+ years of nursing experience and 6+ years of education and expect a teacher to have my skills. Is the RN going to be held responsible when something goes wron...

Taskstream assessments are the only one's you will submit for grading. I have never made a "concept map", which WGU seems to think are helpful but I think it's a waste of MY time. Look at the objectives in the COS and that will tell you exactly wha...

I have an "emergency inhaler" paid for by grant money and standing orders for the inhaler and prn neb treatment. So many parents have no idea how bad asthma can be because their child rarely needs treatment.

I am in the RN-MSN program. I already have a BS in Biology so I only needed Stats, Nutrition, Biochem, Care of Older Adult and Health Assessment as prereqs. If you do not have a bachelor's degree in something already you will have to fulfill all the...

30+ hours a week!

I turns out that my mentor gave me some wrong information. She did not tell me that the "U" classes were the BSN-MSN "bridge classes. She said they were part of the MSN. So I decided to skip around and put off those "U" classes and instead I finishe...

WOW! You had me all the way!

Hi fellow nurses! I have a darling special needs child that routinely gets her MIC-Key button out at home. She recently succeeded in getting it out here at school even though she is a 1:1 with staff. My district does not have a policy or procedure fo...

LOVE the Medic Alert tat above!! I have 3 tattoos, got my first at age 50 and I have always joked about getting "DNR" tattooed on my chest! Maybe not such a crazy idea after all.

I love my MacBook Pro. Use my Dell for the proctored exams but as of early Aug will be compatible with Safari too so can use my Mac.

I'm just finishing my BSN and have completed 5 courses of the MSN. NONE of the courses I've taken are in the new MSN program. I'm glad I'm "grandfathered" into the current MSN program.

If you are an experienced nurse much of the info will be a review. I didn't read in any of the ebooks. Instead I used the online component of the COS exclusively. I can't remember what it was called. I did pass the assessment on the first attempt to...

Look up your class description in the course catalog and send it to WGU.

Asthma in school aged kids and yes I got lots of good suggestions from her but either people are on vacation, or off for the summer, or just dont want to do a face to face meeting. Lots of other places are just too far for me to travel after I get do...

Im working on my practicum and having a hard time finding 90 hours!!!! Im actually pretty distressed, I have about 30 hours and just dont know where Im going to find another 60! Im having sites agree to phone contact but not meeting in person.

this is not a thread about working as a course mentor.
