Has anyone had an issue with jobs and their degree from WGU? Is it accepted without any issues?

Congrats!

Did you pass, Jamielynn??

I also got an email yesterday. I didn't speak to anyone. I'm hoping their system is better because I'm travelling from Florida.

South Florida is pretty rough. The cost of living is high and I hear the pay doesn't really match. Housing here is expensive

Don't go into nursing school thinking "I'm gonna be an RN, only LPNs, PCAs, and CNAs clean patients, answer call bells, feed patients etc...."

Well I know CMC and Presby(Charlotte and surrounding areas) hires LPN. At CMC, they're called clinical assistants.

Hey Miiki, it was an ADN program and we also did caths and IM.....

Hey all, I was enrolled in a RN program a few months ago and I didn't pass foundations. I still have my books and I wanted to know how similar or different is rn fundies to the lpn fundies? Can I use my old books to study? I just don't want to go too much off track....thanks in advance

I did

Thanks for posting the link Mr.Sensitivity

I know exactly what you mean. My clinical teacher is so strict but she's AWESOME! She makes sure she nails it in our brains and I appreciate her for that. She even has her scrubs on, in the rooms with us, elbow deep in poop. But man oh man, when she drills us, it makes you wanna go in the corner and hide. Big difference from our lecture teacher......

Our instructor laughs when the students don't do good. Laugh in our faces. "Doesn't matter to me, I have my licence already and you don't HA HA!" Really, lady? Geesh! It's discouraging and disheartening. Like, are you for us or against us? I don't understand it. I see the whole wanting us to be awesome, compotent nurses but everyday I hear people say how much they're second guessing this career path JUST because of the teachers(and older nurses at clinicals). Why do nurses eat their young alive???? not cool!

I worked in an ER for 1.5 years as a Unit Secretary and I LOVED it. I've worked on PCCU as a PCA and I loved the patient care but couldn't care less about the floor. I work in the NICU now as a US/PCA and HATE it.......and now I'm doing my clinicals on a Med/Surg and once again, not my cup of tea. I think I love the fact that the ER is in and out, for sure my first choice. I eventually want to do Rapid Reponse and/or Critical Care. Then Wound Care and teaching when I slow down. But you know, life never usually goes as planned so I'll be happy just to land a job when I'm done school.

We all have one goal in mind: we're all trying to get our RN license, not a position in the corner office with surrounding windows and a great view. Nope, just a bunch of newbies trying to get into the nursing world. So please....stop the back stabbing and petty bs. :hlk:It's not a race, don't you think we should encourage each other to do our best? Just because you're good at one thing doesn't mean you'll be good at another. You may very well need me to help you turn that 400 lb patient when we start clinicals. Never undermind people and think you crap don't stink too. It's serious....no, sorry, no it's not that serious! This is........:dancgrp:(Don't mind the cartoons, my son's obsession has rubbed off)
