  1. WGU Sept 2014..Anyone??

    DisneyRNMSN replied to nurse2fnp's topic in Western Governors University

    You will get your BSN when you complete the 120 CU's required (this includes the 50 you get for just being an RN plus any transfer

  2. WGU GPA and Accreditation Questions

    DisneyRNMSN replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    This has been answered numerous times before but here it is again: WGU has regional accreditation (which is actually higher than national accreditation). The nursing programs just received another...

  3. Should I get my DNP or go PhD in Nursing

    DisneyRNMSN replied to RN4KU's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    As others have said, it really depends on the goals of the individual. PhD's are theory and research-intensive. Several schools now offer a DNP in leadership and education that bypass the nurse...

  4. RN-MSN at WGU... Help!

    DisneyRNMSN replied to LuckyRN23's topic in Western Governors University

    The same requirements to teach at a brick and mortar. I've taught in both formats and I have an MSN. At WGU, it depends on the course. The minimum requirement is a masters. Some courses, like advanced...

  5. Schools that DO accept WGU credits/transfers

    DisneyRNMSN replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    I don't know why this keeps coming up. Bottom line: if you plan on going to an FNP program that requires at least a 3.0 GPA, then you might not want to go to WGU. Obviously, the FNP program will give...

  6. Chamberlain Nurse Educator MSN Program???

    DisneyRNMSN replied to salvati08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think there are any hard and fast rules. My professor told me years ago to put degree-license-certifications. I always use my name, MSN, RN, CMSRN, CNE. I see other people use name, RN, MSN,...

  7. RN (ADN) to MSN

    DisneyRNMSN replied to go4jog's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Someone on here said University of Phoenix is all papers. Can anyone

  8. Walden University VS Western Governors University

    DisneyRNMSN replied to jamsammom's topic in Western Governors University

    I certainly wouldn't say Walden is a diploma mill. They are a for-profit school. One of my colleagues went there and her tuition did raise during the program. WGU is a non-profit and their tuition...

  9. DNP or CRNA

    DisneyRNMSN replied to pjkgrd's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't see any misinformation. Someone else already told the poster the difference between CRNA and DNP. As far as ALL CRNA schools transitioning to DNP by 2025-I'll believe it when I see it. All NP...

  10. DNP or CRNA

    DisneyRNMSN replied to pjkgrd's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I know a lot of CRNA's and none of them have their doctorate. All of them have great job security and are in demand. The same can be said for my NP friends. I think a DNP (or PhD) will help you if you...

  11. Schools that DO accept WGU credits/transfers

    DisneyRNMSN replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    That's exactly what it's about! WGU is fully accredited (both regionally and nursing-wise). The issue is if you're applying for a program that requires more than a 3.0, then you're out of luck. All...

  12. DNP after WGU anyone?

    DisneyRNMSN replied to ValentinaRN's topic in Western Governors University

    It also depends on what type of DNP program you're doing. I've looked at DNP programs in nursing education that have no practice requirements. All the ones that are for NP programs require clinical...

  13. Chamberlain Nurse Educator MSN Program???

    DisneyRNMSN replied to salvati08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not for me. I was already teaching with my BSN and used one of my co-workers as my educator

  14. Chamberlain Nurse Educator MSN Program???

    DisneyRNMSN replied to salvati08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I graduated from Chamberlain's MSN-Educator program. My only complaint is the discussion board requirement. I know that it ensures class participation but I often felt they were a waste of my time....

  15. Medications on NCLEX 2014

    DisneyRNMSN replied to kelbell22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The new test plan will have the generic and the trade name -OR- just the generic. What you will never see is just the trade

  16. At a crossroads...

    DisneyRNMSN replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You're welcome! I've also heard great things about the Doctor of Health Education (DHEd) at AT Still University, a preeminent osteopathic medicine school. Not sure what nursing programs would think of...

  17. Western Governors University Competency Based MSN Program

    DisneyRNMSN replied to goodnursetoo's topic in Western Governors University

    You do receive your BSN once you complete 120 CU's. Then you continue toward your MSN. My advice? Just do the BSN because you can finish so quickly. You can always go back for the MSN. The RN-MSN can...

  18. At a crossroads...

    DisneyRNMSN replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I work full time at a university and have had experience at a community college and with a large NCLEX prep company. I've also edited a nursing med-surg textbook for a publishing company, and I just...

  19. Chamberlain College Of Nursing- FNP program

    DisneyRNMSN replied to Clevengood's topic in Chamberlain College

    I completed my MSN in nursing education at Chamberlain and loved it. I was accepted into the FNP program too but; A) I don't want another MSN, I want a DNP and B) I don't want the hassle of finding my...

  20. ISU clinicals

    DisneyRNMSN replied to kowenslpn's topic in Indiana State University

    I can't answer all your questions but I can help with a few. I did the LPN-BSN program at ISU back in 2005. For the most part, I enjoyed it. The thing I didn't like was having to find my own clinical...

  21. Advice on furthering my Degree, Which school should I go with???

    DisneyRNMSN replied to LadyTiger44's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Why not just go with Grand Canyon? You said it was only 10 classes. They are fully accredited. I'd also check out Chamberlain and Western

  22. WGU - RN to BSN - 90 hr clinical requirement. How are you meeting it?

    DisneyRNMSN replied to JennRN65's topic in Western Governors University

    A practicum is not a clinical. I had to do a practicum for my MSN at Chamberlain and I learned a lot from a very experienced nurse

  23. Experiences with Western Governors University???

    DisneyRNMSN replied to coopman712's topic in Western Governors University

    I probably wouldn't take school advice from someone who doesn't know the difference between "worse" and

  24. interested in DNP but where to start?

    DisneyRNMSN replied to HornsRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Also check discover nursing.com They have a way to sift through

  25. Western Governors University Competency Based MSN Program

    DisneyRNMSN replied to goodnursetoo's topic in Western Governors University

    I see a lot of comments on here about employers and GPA. I can only speak from personal experience, but I have NEVER had an employer ask about my GPA (which is a shame, because I graduated with my BSN...
