1. Displaying credentials

   DisneyRNMSN replied to jetMA96's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   The only time it bothers me is when several people are presenting together and they don't match. For example, I gave a presentation at a nursing conference and our first PPT slide read: NAME, RN, PhD;...

2. Changes to WGU effective October 1, 2014

   DisneyRNMSN replied to lazarusstyles's topic in Western Governors University

   If you've taken it 3 times already, you should be able to pass the exam right away and be done with it. The assessment video is very easy; they even give you a checklist to use while you're doing it....

3. WGU MSN degrees appropriate for a Post-MSN FNP program???

   DisneyRNMSN replied to anchorRN's topic in Western Governors University

   The only time you run into an issue is if you are applying to a program that requires a higher GPA. Since all of WGU's CU's are equivalent to a 3.0, if you are applying to programs that require a 3.5,...

4. WGU Sept 2014..Anyone??

   DisneyRNMSN replied to nurse2fnp's topic in Western Governors University

   Keep in mind that the term doesn't begin until 9/1, and even then, enrollment doesn't have to be completed until 9/15. You have to get EWB completed, have an Intro call with your Student Mentor, and...

5. RN to BSN program. I want to hit the ground running

   DisneyRNMSN replied to DangerRN's topic in Western Governors University

   I'm sorry but that is simply not true. In fact, one of the goals that is set by WGU each fiscal year is the number of graduates. Mentors want to graduate as many students as they can as quickly as...

6. Feeling Irritated... I Passed the PA. Not Allowed to Take OA!

   DisneyRNMSN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

   The ATI practice test is not proctored. It takes the place of a pre-assessment. A score of 75% or higher is recommended before you schedule the exam. As I said earlier, they also recommend doing the...

7. How to navigate the ISU option?

   DisneyRNMSN replied to csharea's topic in Indiana State University

   I was one of the lucky ones. I only needed a few of TCN's "courses" and I did those pretty quickly and paid off the loans right away. I had no idea I could have found the same materials for much less....

8. Feeling Irritated... I Passed the PA. Not Allowed to Take OA!

   DisneyRNMSN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

   I'm glad to hear that it was resolved. Speaking of C228, I do know that the Course Mentors recommend doing the Performance Assessment first, as this will help you study for the OA. Just an FYI.

9. Feeling Irritated... I Passed the PA. Not Allowed to Take OA!

   DisneyRNMSN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

   I would definitely stand firm. Be polite and respectful, but FIRMLY let them know that you are ready and if you were to fail, it's on you anyway! I don't see any reason whatsoever why they would...

10. Start Date August 1st, 2014 - BSN vs. MSN

    DisneyRNMSN replied to RN2012's topic in Western Governors University

    That's awesome; please keep us posted and let us know how you like the program. I'm seriously considering the program as well because I really don't know what doctorate I want to get, so I thought...

11. Start Date August 1st, 2014 - BSN vs. MSN

    DisneyRNMSN replied to RN2012's topic in Western Governors University

    You are correct! They did a major program change and relaunch on July 1st. They did have all Performance Assessments, but now I see they have added exams back. In fact, some course have BOTH an exam...

12. Start Date August 1st, 2014 - BSN vs. MSN

    DisneyRNMSN replied to RN2012's topic in Western Governors University

    Actually it was July 1st. I forgot they did a major program change to all the programs. You're right; some courses have both a PA and an OA, others just an

13. Start Date August 1st, 2014 - BSN vs. MSN

    DisneyRNMSN replied to RN2012's topic in Western Governors University

    The MBA in healthcare management at WGU has no exams-only performance assessments (papers, projects, etc.). The new MSN has fewer exams than the old MSN, but they are still there. The class that gave...

14. ASN/ADN Online hybrid schools?

    DisneyRNMSN replied to Dlovely089's topic in Online Distance Learning

    First of all, congrats to you for wanting a better life for you and your son. I can't imagine going to school with a child, but I know women who have done this and my hat is off to them! Remember why...

15. ASN/ADN Online hybrid schools?

    DisneyRNMSN replied to Dlovely089's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The community college where I complete my LPN now has all online courses. You only go to school for Labs and clinicals at the hospitals. I know this because they offered me a job as an instructor. I...
