    msa9179 replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    msa9179 posted a topic in Western Governors University

    msa9179 replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    yes!, as klone indicated, the exams are few and far between. When you take a class requiring a proctored exam, you do all of the course work and practice exam, etc on your own time, at your...

    msa9179 replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

  22. just finished my BSN..... my story, if anyone is interested....

    msa9179 replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    WGU does have an initial-licensure program, which I assume is a BSN program, as opposed to an ADN program. However, I do not have any knowledge or experience in this area. I initially became an LVN...

    msa9179 replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    Well, probably won't be able to cut back anytime really soon, but I suppose it will come eventually. It is unclear when (or if) my wife, who is also a nurse, will ever work again. She had a major...

  25. in order to teach, will any MSN specialty do?
