  1. What gauge needle for subq heparin do you use?

    27g. Same gauge as our insulin needles.
  2. Anyone on the East Coast have a BSN from WGU?

    Sorry, I guess I misunderstood. Benegesserit is right, I did the RN-BSN program. I can't give you any insight into the prelicensure program, except that it is limited to certain states.
  3. Anyone on the East Coast have a BSN from WGU?

    I did not, my ADN is from a local CC. I had no problems getting into the program, and was able to start the month I wanted, though I know some people have to wait. I had 12 courses/34 credits to complete, and it took me about 9 months/roughly $5000. ...
  4. Anyone on the East Coast have a BSN from WGU?

    I loved my WGU experience. I worked full time nights and roughly one extra shift a week at my per diem. My mentor was only an email or call away if I needed anything, and although I don't plan on furthering my education through school (I'm planning o...
  5. Problems after brain surgery

    We cannot give medical advice, it's against the Terms of Service. However, if you feel something is not right, give your surgeon a call. Better to notify them and have it be nothing, than to leave it and have it be something.
  6. Help me understand an Ampule

    I've never had the medication spill when inverting an ampule, surface tension keeps it from leaking out. You just wouldn't inject air into the inverted ampule like you do with stoppered vials. You also want to be sure not totouch the needle to the ri...
  7. Albumin administration rate and IV tubing

    We used to run it in by gravity, and pharmacy bundled it with specific tubing with the filter built in. Took roughly 30 minutes to infuse. Now we run it through the pump, with regular pump tubing and a filtered extension set. We are to run it over an...
  8. Anyone on the East Coast have a BSN from WGU?

    I do!! I'm in NH, my mentor was from one of the Carolinas I think, and my mentor for Community Health was also from NH. No one I work with had heard of it before I started, but now I have several coworkers looking into the program. One of the manage...
  9. WGU RN-BSN in 6 months

    Full time students are required to finish 12 credits per term, which would usually be 4 courses. Every student is assigned a mentor who is the person who unlocks/opens each course for you. Every mentor has a different method; mine had a planned order...
  10. WGU RN-BSN in 6 months

    WGU is non-profit. There are two community courses, the first in which you do research about your community demographics, giving you 25 hours of field experience, and the second course uses that research and has you conduct interviews with stakeholde...
  11. WGU homework type

    I didn't really have what I would call homework. I did have multiple papers amd tests that were required to pass the courses. There are no journal entries or discussion board posts. Some classes, all I had to do was pass a test to complete the cours...
  12. I want to complete the RN to BSN program in 1 term

    I'm going to jump in with my experience: I finished the RN-BSN program with 34 credits in 9 months. After completing my first 4 courses in a little over a month, which included health assessment, biochem, care of the older adult, and nutrition, my me...
  13. Community 228 Class WGU

    There is an ATI study guide under the course search. Thats what I used and got a 3 on it.
  14. How to determine JP drainage color

    I thought sanguinous meant bloody?
  15. It's hard to say if the papers and tests are hard, because it depends on what you know and how you learn. The BSN program does not require a capstone, but you do get to put together a portfolio.
  16. WGU -When is the HW/Assignments Due?

    WGU is self paced and competency based. There are no set times or days that work is due; however, like TheCommuter said, you must have everything for your enrolled courses submitted at least 10 days prior to the end of the term. I generally have do...
  17. WGU RN-BSN question...

    WGU utilizes a pass/not pass system, not grades. The passes end up translating into the 3.0 gpa. However, I know that several of the other users here have gotten into Masters and NP programs after getting their BSN at WGU, so the gpa has not been a h...
  18. Starting in February, no mentor assigned yet??

    I think I found out the day before. I started June 1st.
  19. Pls help me identify these shoes!

    They dont look like real Crocs. Crocs have a little crocodile on the button that holds the strap on; these have a footprint and the word TAP. I think they are just some off brand.
  20. I completed my BSN today. Feel free to ask any questions

    I took the community health OA at home, just like the rest of the exams. It is still through ATI, but you still use the provided webcam and it's just set up a little differently. I took it in November. The first 3 attempts at an objective exam are f...
  21. Hands break out.

    My boyfriend did, it was a reaction to the brand of soap and hand sanitizer. He went through employee health and was able to use a different brand. Perhaps you should talk to your employee health?
  22. I completed my BSN today. Feel free to ask any questions

    You have to do the comm health class before the field experience, because thats how you figure out your topic for it.
  23. I completed my BSN today. Feel free to ask any questions

    I did Care of the Older Adult, Health Assessment, Information Management and Technology, Professional Roles and Values, Community Health 228, Community Health 229, Evidence Based Practice, Organizational Systems, and Leadership. I took Biochem betwee...
  24. I completed my BSN today. Feel free to ask any questions

    I also took about 4 weeks to finish C229. Getting my 65 hrs of interviews took up most of it.
  25. Mmmmm, Nanaimo bars.... I also dont understand mean. It takes so much energy to be angry and mean all the time, and to what point?
