Any Western Governors University (WGU) graduates from the MSN program? Has anyone actually completed the program? Anyone willing to share their experiences about completing WGU's MSN program to a prospective student?

Hi Tkrn714, Is a preceptor required for any of the competency-based units? Are practicum hours required for any of the units? Has anyone graduated from WGU's MSN program yet?

Who can we talk to about the MSN program at WGU (besides the enrollment counselors)? Can we talk to current MSN students or MSN graduates before applying?
