4. Has anyone done the WGU online RN to BSN program?

   CNRN_Cali replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors

   No experience with financial aid but I question the validity of the "group projects" comment. There are NO group projects in the WGU RN to BSN curriculum. So far, the instructors (aka course mentors) have been extremely helpful and resourceful. Th...

   Just curious for those of you who have graduated from WGU & pursued and/or are pursuing a graduate degree with them, do they require you to retake the orientation course at the beginning of your new term? I noticed there were two separate orient...

    CNRN_Cali replied to CNRN_Cali's topic in Western Governors

    Yay! I'm so happy they sorted out your college transcripts (with the school names). :) The application process can be so painful waiting. It all starts with the readiness exam. It was torturous waiting for my results. I have to say that overall t...

13. Pacemaker interrogation

    CNRN_Cali replied to spdaydream's topic in CCU

    CNRN_Cali replied to lovejunkie25's topic in ADN/BSN

    I only work three 12hr shifts. Personally, I much prefer working three 12hr shifts and having the days off than working four days a week. It gives you the flexibility of grouping your shifts together (i.e. 3 in a row) or splitting them up (i.e. Sun...
