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

    CNRN_Cali replied to mightymitern's topic in Western Governors University

    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...

  16. Magnet hospitals? Experienced ADN/BSN preferences

    CNRN_Cali replied to lovejunkie25's topic in Diploma, 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...

  17. Magnet hospitals? Experienced ADN/BSN preferences

    CNRN_Cali replied to lovejunkie25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  19. Magnet hospitals? Experienced ADN/BSN preferences

    CNRN_Cali replied to lovejunkie25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    CNRN_Cali replied to lovejunkie25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would highly encourage you to pursue your BSN. I work in a Magnet hospital and they are encouraging ALL current ADN and diploma employees to obtain their BSN (I am pursuing my RN to BSN now)....

    CNRN_Cali replied to LegsMcgeeRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's been over 11 years since I have taken NCLEX but I used Kaplan and passed on first try. I think Kaplan prepared me well. Kaplan teaches you to answer questions the "NCLEX way" and not...
