  1. Officially starting WGU tomorrow!

    designer-mommy replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    So...how is your journey going Lisa? How many classes have you finished

  2. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    No problem! We both know what a frustrating experience it is to try and do things over the phone with La Inter. You pretty much have to go in person, and that isn't possible if you're across the ocean...

  3. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    You do the didactic stuff online and then you find a perceptor for your clinicals. I guess it came out wrong when I said it was an online school. WGU does all of their stuff online as far as classes...

  4. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    That's true, but I want to do my FNP at Frontier and there have been quite a few people who have done it there that went to WGU. Frontier is an online school (highly regarded too) so it's not as...

  5. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    No, I know. But I'm still

  6. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    PearlGirl, WorldTravelingYogi has only been at the school for a little over 10 months. It takes about 11 months for those in the accelerated program to get their ADN if they take Peds over the summer...

  7. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I am planning on getting my ADN and then going to the states to do the RN-BSN. I'm probably going to do it at WGU (Western Governors University) because you can do it at your own pace, it's completely...

  8. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I believe that you'll have Basics, Fundamentals, clinicals for Fundamentals and Pharmacology the first trimester (from beginning of August to end of October/beginning of November). Then you have Adult...

  9. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Thanks FeMaMaFutureRN :) StCroixFutureNurse, the hospitals that I know for sure that they've used are Auxilio Mutuo, the VA, Centro Medico, HIMA in Caguas, and for Psychosocial I went to San Juan...

  10. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    No, I'm probably going to go to another state. I was born and raised in Orlando, but my mom passed away 2 years ago, and she was the only family I had there. So, it won't feel like "home" if I go...

  11. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    No problem! There are a LOT of people from the islands in my classes. I love their accents--could listen to them talk all

  12. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Hopefully WordTravelingYogi will chime in here. She's a friend of mine who lives where a lot of the students live. I think it's called Las Cumbres or something like that. It's within walking distance...

  13. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I've heard that there are quite a few hoops to jump through in FL. I think they said something about an English test since they consider this an international school at the FL BON. I highly doubt that...

  14. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    If you have all of your generals done you can be in the accelerated program. You can do the ADN in about 11 months. Awesome, right?! You start in the beginning of August and finish up at the end of...

  15. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I don't think that UMET would sound any better on a resume. My best friend works at an eyeglass place in Orlando, and there were probably 4 ophthalmologists working there that went to La Inter. I know...

  16. Has anyone done the WGU online RN to BSN program?

    designer-mommy replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    So you have to do clinicals for the WGU program? I didn't think there were any clinicals at all. That's one of the many things that made it so appealing to me. You're doing an awesome job though!...

  17. Officially starting WGU tomorrow!

    designer-mommy replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    Congrats! Yes, please keep us updated. I hope to be starting this school once I get my associates and pass the NCLEX, which will either be this October or February of 2012. I'd love to hear how your...

  20. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Yes, I'm in the non-accelerated program. I think that being an LVN will help you out tremendously! And thanks for the encouragement :) I eventually want to get my master's, so it's kind of...

  21. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    The first two trimesters are a cake walk. I took Basics in the first trimester, Fundamentals and Pharmacology in the second, and now I have Adult Care 1 and Psychosocial in this one. Psychosocial...

  22. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Hey! No, not at all. I just filled out the FAFSA and that's it. The strange thing is that you don't learn much of anything about the amount of your aid until after you register for classes. In my old...

  23. Another Question for WGU Students

    designer-mommy posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Hey everyone! I just had a few questions about the WGU RN-BSN option. How is the admissions process as far as being competitive or super strict about GPA, etc.? Is it really hard to get in if you have...

  24. Has anyone done the WGU online RN to BSN program?

    designer-mommy replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes, thanks for all of the information! I will definitely keep track of this thread. I'm seriously considering WGU, so I'd love to hear all I can about this

    Hello everyone! Happy Easter to you all :redpinkhe I have been reviewing a lot of the threads here that relate to case studies, but I am still a little confused. I am currently trying to do my first...
