   Best online RN to BSN program....CHEAP?

   Lauri8218 replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Learning

   There's been a couple of students (in the WGU discussion boards) who've said they've finished WGU's RN-to-BSN program in 3 months. WGU students pay a set tuition rate ($3,250) per term (composed of 6 months) no matter how many competency units they take. If students finish in 3 months, then they pay the $3,250. I don't know another university that compares. I guess this depends on how motivated you are to finish the competency units. The competency units are pass/fail, and students earn a 3.0 GPA when they graduate.

   Any Western Governors University (WGU) MSN graduates?

   Lauri8218 replied to Lauri8218's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks, Robynheart716 There's some info from these posts about that program: https://allnurses.com/distance-learning-nursing/lowdown-wgus-online-524424.html https://allnurses.com/distance-learning-nursing/wgu-online-programs-254937-page2.html#post4770877 Are the mentors encouraging towards students to finish competency units during the 6-month time frame? Can we choose our mentors? (I would assume if students pay $3,250 for 6 months, we could choose our mentors.)

   MSN online: National American University

   Lauri8218 posted a topic in Post Graduate

   Hi Everyone! Anyone familiar with the MSN online program at National American University? http://www.national.edu/Programs/graduate/Pages/msn.aspx According to the website, the MSN's emphasis is in nursing education. The curriculum lists 9 courses, and 2 capstone related courses, for a total of 11 courses for the entire program. The final 2 courses are: the Nursing Capstone Project, and the Nursing Capstone Practicum: Simulation or Online. Any thoughts about this MSN program would be appreciated! Thanks!
