  1. RN to BSN at WGU?

    momof3lv replied to noelly10's topic in Western Governors University

    I just finished at wgu so I can try to help. I'm not sure what you are thinking assessments are. You are still taking classes and are given everything you need to pass the class. Books are on the...

  2. Travel with children

    momof3lv replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Travel

    If you homeschool or do some type of online schooling I guess it's possible. I don't see how you would do it otherwise. Would you like to switch schools every 13 weeks, which is what a typical travel...

  3. Wear your PPE!

    momof3lv replied to Anna S, RN's topic in General Nursing

    So face shields are required per their policy yet they don't provide

  4. Quest for more cash, what are my options as an RN?

    momof3lv replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    I sell It Works products (that crazy wrap thing) as a side business. It's fun and it pretty good money. I'm making a few extra thousand a month with it. It will hopefully be my ultimate retirement...

  6. Moving to Alaska, going to school in AZ

    momof3lv replied to ScrubGirl88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly I'm not really sure. Probably calling the nursing board would be you best bet. I know some states are stricter then others like California. I think you should be okay

  7. Moving to Alaska, going to school in AZ

    momof3lv replied to ScrubGirl88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can take your nclex in any state you want your license. As long as your school is accredited and has the minimum standards required by that state. My school was located in ny and I took my nclex...

  8. full time but apply prn on other floor

    momof3lv replied to wayemika's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No it won't be allowed. I work for hca also and have for many years. You can pick up shifts on another unit but you can't officially apply to work on two units. You can only have one home unit. Ex. I...

  9. i want to do this

    momof3lv replied to Sade Murphy's topic in Western Governors University

    The major one reason I went with wgu for my bsn was no stupid discussion posts, no group projects, no required loging in so many times. It's all self paced. I would say one thing is to set deadlines...

  10. Please explain how union hospitals do it.

    momof3lv replied to Libby1987's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  11. CPNE Patient Care

    momof3lv replied to SVT511's topic in Excelsior College

    They give you pretty basic patients. More then likely you won't get something crazy. I can't even think of an example. You have resources to.use but pretty much your not there to cure them. You do...

  12. Has anyone taken Biochem at WGU?

    momof3lv replied to natalie877's topic in Western Governors University

    I did the cohorts also but some like the 20 day plan. You don't have to do the jumpstart cohort though. That is just a refresher class to get you going. I totally skipped

  13. Has anyone taken Biochem at WGU?

    momof3lv replied to natalie877's topic in Western Governors University

    It wasn't that bad. I dragged it out and finished in about a month. Some have done in it a week though with a lot of time and determination. There is no lab, like others have said it's just a...

  14. Have California ADN, is there any bachelor program that doesn't have group projects?

    momof3lv replied to FromALifeInThePast's topic in School, College Programs

    Wgu has no group projects and it's

  17. Mentors

    momof3lv replied to Gabby-RN's topic in Western Governors University

    I agree with all you. I didn't even mention accelerating when I spoke with my mentor for the first time. I figure my actions will speak for them self if i breeze through it. I don't really feel like I...

  19. ACNP salaries

    momof3lv replied to PavementRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would say it's not very accurate. It said 50,000 for a new np in my area. I made more then that as an lpn. Who would go back to school for that

  20. WGU, Who else is starting with me

    momof3lv replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm hoping to start April 1st too. Depends how fast I can get my nclex done. I might be looking at may 1st more realistically but here's

  21. How do WGU vertify your employment??

    momof3lv replied to CARAMELO's topic in Western Governors University

    They told me I had to send in my resume. I'm not really sure how that proves anything as I could just put whatever I wanted on it but whatever. I would assume they must contact your employer but who...

    momof3lv replied to nkoyon's topic in Excelsior College

  24. Passed Chronicity!!

    momof3lv posted a topic in Excelsior College

    With a B. I was shocked as I thought this test would be harder for some reason. There were a ton of repeat questions from the practice exams on this test though. Usually I only see 2 or 3 but it...
