I finished WGU’s RN to BSN program in September, and I liked the program for several reasons: You can work at your own pace. It took me the entire two years because I am a big procrastinator, though depending on your motivation, tenacity, and the time you have available, you can finish in half that time or less. The tuition is very reasonable. There are many resources available to help if you get bogged down, e.g., student mentors, course instructors, live help sessions, a help line, etc. I didn’t utilize resources very often, but mentors were very responsive and helpful when I did. i thought the coursework was very do-able. Some of the classes were naturally more difficult than others, but none were unreasonably demanding. Many WGU graduates go on to MSN programs. It might very well have happened, but I have not heard of people being refused admission because their BSN degree came from WGU. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have questions. There is also a WGU RN to BSN group on Facebook; you can get lots of info there. Good luck! I waited until I was almost 60 to get my BSN, but I’m so glad I did it!

Westieluv, I'm assuming by your profile picture and your username that you have at least one dog. I think I'd like working at home, but I'm afraid I'd be in the middle of a call, and my dogs would look out and see a squirrel and start barking their heads off! How do you maintain a quiet environment? Thanks for any info you can give me.

Susan, thanks so much for your input/advice -- I really appreciate it! How old are your girls? Sheila

I've not done camp nursing before, so I'm pretty clueless about what I should be looking for in a camp. I have a thirteen year old daughter who's never been to summer camp and I'd like to find a camp that will not only take her, but will provide her with a great experience. These are the camps I've heard from so far: Matoaka, Lindenmere, Wayne, Trail's End/Chestnut Lake, and Wicosuta. Does anyone know anything about these camps? Can you tell me what you look for in a camp where you're considering working and sending your child?Thanks so much for any advice!
