Good Luck! It's a good place for you to test. I tested there last year and the Ce's and Ca are awesome! They do want you to pass!!

@metro, the good news is you only have to come up with one topic and that's for the practicum. Also, advise I can give you if you want to start with the easier stuff first do the order they suggest. However you can have some variation. If I knew what...

For the practicum you come up with a topic from your community diagnosis from HAT task 1. Mine was Access to Health Care services for the Elderly in Broward County. You discuss with the course mentor possible topics and then she will have you email h...

To my dear stalkers, lol!! Exactly 4 months into the program and today I just submitted my last paper for my BSN. I could use some fingers and toes crossed and a swift return of my grade. Hoping for no revisions! So exicted yet more nervous!!

metro and fostermom you guys can do it!! I did find some momentum and pushing through my last course. I am about half done. It's a waiting game now though.... I need people to call me back so I can do my interviews. This portion is for the practicum....

Why is active nursing involvement in the planning, choice, and implementation of a new computer management software important to your hospital or place of employment? Looking for opinions!

fostermom, I really do not keep track of how much time I spend on each course however, I can say is I probably spend 5-10 a week and do maybe 15 on weekends. Note: I have a life, lol: I work full time, I have a 7 year old daughter, and a very suppor...

I'm planning on working some tonight on this. Thanks, for all your advice. I know I can do it. I've worked very hard to get to this point; of course I will never give up. Just can't wait for it to be over. I do plan on going on for my MSN; but I hav...

Where can I get access to online nursing reserach journals without subscribing? Thanks!

Thanks Eric, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. This information was really helpful.

I'm struggling someone please help!! i have done an internet search and have come up with nothing. Tell me where to read this please.....

As far as cost... I don't understand how ethics plays a role. From what I read doesn't Medicare say the hospital has to eat the cost of hospital-acquired infections? I must admit I don't fully understand certain aspects of this question to my homewor...

Ethical implications to the patient... I see none other than time, pain, more treatment and procedures. What patient want to go through that? But as far as cost? I don't see how cost would affect a patient because if it is a hospital acquired infecti...

A big congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am an RN-BSN nurse, I have no expierence in a hospital setting and do not know of a nurse who is. I will be conducting a research paper. First, What is a common perioperative procedure that is conducted? Second, Do you think it needs to be changed?...

Ok, so i think i came up with a topic. So... those who work on a surgical floor or even OR that can provide some insight would be great. I am choosing Debridement of a wound. Do you have a checklist for this procedure? what is your protocol? do you h...

metroishka, yes evidence-based research class!! The first thing that came to mind was knee replacement; mostly because I hear how common it is. However, then i though about the other section of my paper... is there something about the procedure that ...

I'm so excited, I am offically starting tomorrow. I am staying up to midnight hoping that I'll get the link so I can start. I'm just so thrilled I am moving forward. Any people out there already enrolled in WGU have any advice!?!

I am looking for help!! WGU RN-BSN program. If you have taken the Community Health Nursing course already and can give me guidance I would greatly appreciate it. I have spoke with my mentor and my course mentor and I am still a little uncertain about...

The entry test was... well...... easy! BASIC stuff!! Your writing lots and lots of APA style papers. I had no general courses to take I had 8 courses and consist of a total of 19 papers!!! So I hope you enjoy it... oh and one powerpoint presentation ...

The clinical practicum is 90 hours not 40. I am currently doing my practicum now. Soooo time consuming. Started program May 1st. Expected graduation date October 2011 Ideal: yes..... I have completed 5 classes/courses; and only have 2 courses plus t...

ME!! I'm studying too, I also worked 7 hours today; and got paid bonus pay of $300 bucks! But... I volunteered to work, and I choose to study! How bad do I want my BSN!! yeah!!! My reward.... a brand new spankin car and a brand new bedroom set for my...

I really need your help? Anyone? Any guidance? Suggestions? Something?

Mine it is important because nurses are the one that will utilize the systems more often with pt. notes, documentation, Med admin, look up lab results. Nurses need to be able to work efficently with computers and have knowledge and understanding. Hav...

A pass is a pass!! You should be happy and give yourself a pat on the back for how far you have come. Excelsior is a tough road! Good Luck!
