    LoveToHike replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    I'd read that you pay $217/credit hour if you have less than 12 credits at the end of your term. It didn't say that they bill you for the whole term (3250) and then reimburse you. That wouldn't...

    LoveToHike replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

  9. Starting RN to BSN 3/1/13. Who's with me?

    LoveToHike replied to LoveToHike's topic in Western Governors University

    How has the stats class been? Is it a lot of calculations or is it mainly terms and concepts? I'd already taken it before starting WGU, and I've wondered how WGU's class compares to what I took. How...

    LoveToHike replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm looking at other positions but, between the economy and my limited experience, there aren't a lot of options open to me. Maybe the OP was in that position? I'm looking at non nursing positions...

    LoveToHike replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To kcmylorn - I agree that there's something wrong with the "nursing environment of today." A lot of it has to do with the way we treat one another. Tech's won't do the duties they're asked to do,...
