    BSN-MSN Education

    rob4546 replied to RegisteredNurseMia's topic in Western Governors University

    I do like it but I do not enjoy being contacted by my program mentor every week. Every week they call to make sure you are doing okay and make goals for the week. I am a very independent worker and...

    rob4546 replied to RegisteredNurseMia's topic in Western Governors University

    Hello, I just finished my first class for the BSN-MSN Nursing Education Track. So far it hasn't been exceptionally stressful other than currently having two jobs and trying to fit in school

    After returning a patient to our Med/Surg floor a nurse thought I promptly deserved an incident report. Seems like I returned the patient to the floor with make-up (blush) across the abdomen. How...

    I can understand your frustrations about the instructors but the list going around has been quite useless for most of us. Only one of my instructors were on the list so it was not helpful. The best...

    If I remember correctly I found all the entries in the weekly reading articles for the current week and the following week. This assignment only took me 45 minutes and I got all 10 points. But...

    rob4546 replied to Socal_EMT's topic in General Students

    rob4546 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I wanted to echo what most people stated before me, the list of instructors were useless to me. Looking into the class before it opened is the best option because the class is set up by GCU not the...

    How well should a new second semester nursing student know medications?

    rob4546 replied to ns808's topic in General Students

    At this point I would not beat myself up about a perceived lack of knowledge. Like it was said above, not every nurse will know all drugs but should be aware of the common and useful meds. Of the...

    Should I "waste" my time getting an ADN?

    rob4546 replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Well I guess I wasted my time. It took me 4.5 years to go from nothing to my BSN. I first earned my ADN and worked while obtaining my BSN (which i graduated from a week ago). During the time while...
