  1. Suppose one were to attend a state BON approved program at a nationally accredited school for an ASN, but that program didn't have ACEN(NLN) accreditation. I understand that this would cause a few problems with employment and furthering education. No...
  2. Don't buy that used book!

    If you wanna save money, go for PDF/e-text versions. Burned retinas are worth it for the search function alone!
  3. I am currently about halfway through SL AP1. I haven't started my labs yet as I was late to order the kit. I have reached the midterm portion, and I was wondering if the midterm covered lab material, or if it was simply stuff out of the book. Thanks!
  4. I read all those ED's as Erectile Dysfunction the first time, I need more coffee
  5. I'd rather lose half of my options than lose 99% of my options if that GPA were to drop below 3.0 at a traditional school!
  6. September 2013 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    Wait, so you're a nurse, but you also practice psychiatry?
  7. WGU prelicensure program

    incorrect according to the enrollment counselor. I have the option of moving the the location that accepts me
  8. WGU Prelicensure hopeful here!

    I'm aware of the distance rule. Enrollment counselor said I can apply to all and then move to the one that accepts me.
  9. Hello! I am a graduate of WGU's Business - IT Management program, and I'm interested in pursuing my BSN Prelicensure through WGU as well. I require A&P1/2 w/lab, microbiology, and Lifespan/Human Development classes in order to get going. I have s...
  10. That story reminds me of the joke about the guy who woke up in the Dentist's chair with his pants unbuttoned.
  11. WGU does not offer classes, they offer degrees If you have zero college behind you, but you have a lot of brains and time, you can get a degree from the WGU college of business (such as business administration) that will satisfy most of your prerequ...
  12. NP Scope of Practice

    An NP's scope of practice should be what he or she is trained to do through an accredited program, as well as current on his or her skills with. Same goes with MD. I'll feel more comfortable taking my Prozac from the Psychiatric/Mental-Health Nurse P...
  13. ITT Tech Nursing Program

    itt.nursingstudent, Give Western Governor's University a call and see about their RN-BSN program, they are regionally and CCNE accredited, yet they accept students who hold ADN degrees from nationally accredited institutions with no ACEN accreditatio...
  14. Graduates of WGU

    You're welcome!
  15. Graduates of WGU

    I graduated from the college of business. Let me tell you what it says right on the transcript regarding GPA. "Grading System: Transcripts include five possible marks: Pass: Certifies successful completion of a course of study. The student has demons...
  16. Notice in, moving forward.

    Best of luck wherever the wind blows you, any chance for NP school and opening an autonomous practice? It would take away the environment, hospital, and night shifts!
  17. ITT Tech Nursing Program

    Wouldn't recommend ITT, as no campus I've seen is CCNE/ACEN accredited. If you do wind up doing it, make sure you have an accredited RN-BSN program lined up that accepts ITT grads
  18. I did my Business - IT Management bachelors at WGU as a prerequisite for the BSN Prelicensure which suggests having a prior degree. I started April 1 and my degree was conferred on July 26. I only transferred in 20 credits, so that's 102 credits in a...
  19. Degree accreditation question

    So I called the VA Human Resources office, and the Nurse Recruiter told me that NLN/ACEN/CCNE accreditation is only required for the most recent degree. So if one were to complete an ADN/ASN at a non-accredited program (at a nationally or regionally ...
  20. Did being unattractive hurt your career?

    I'm a tall guy and always considered myself quite attractive... but at my last job, a coworker said I had "dead eyes." It made me feel ugly and like I had no soul. I still haven't recovered emotionally from it. I have partial seizures which cause lig...
  21. Degree accreditation question

    anyone have experience with this?
  22. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    I want to reach FNP to become an autonomous healthcare provider for my rural community, and I'm not hung up on the MD title nor do I want the med school bill
  23. Any nurses with anxiety/ bi polar?

    I've got an anxiety disorder and PTSD. I'm in my prereqs also, but I'm willing to take the chance of being a nurse because it's really what I want to do. Medication helps, but I soldier through most days without it
  24. Don't like the robo-calls

    WGU is a non-profit school, so when they call me, I know it's not for nefarious reasons like those overpriced for-profit institutions. I got a business degree through WGU, and now I'm hoping to get into their nursing program. I don't regret going to ...
  25. Electronic cigarettes (E-cigs)

    I tell my friends whenever they switch that e-cigs are a bigger scam than cigarettes themselves. There will inevitably be a point in time where an e-cigarette runs out of vapor or loses its charge at an inopportune time for the smoker, and a real pa...
