  1. The average wait is 8 months, longer if your in Texas (10 months). I got a date in 4 months BUT that was calling every single day. I called on May 25, 2015 and got a date June 7, 2015. 9 days from getting a date set to taking the test at Chambersburg...
  2. I want to complete the RN to BSN program in 1 term

    I started in October 2015 with only 12 classes to do. I was planning on doing one term too. Haha haha! My mentor wouldn't open up my next class until the date it was suppose to. I got 4 classes completed in 6 months. I got a new mentor a few days ag...
  3. How fast can you ACTUALLY do RN-BSN

    I started October 2015 with only 12 classes to take. I planned on being a One Term Wonder! ha! I didn't tell my mentor that information either. My mentor has deliberately slowed me down. My first class, Care of Older Adult took over 4 weeks to comp...
  4. WGU RN to BSN in 6 months

    I think the statistics class has changed because I have math on mine. I was truly planning on being a one term student, however, I think that mentors have caught on and I have been "delayed" getting into my next class or something is being held up. ...
  5. Mentors

    Mine is nice, however she is totally keeping me behind. Not a fan of the mentor thing. I have been doing online school since 2010. Don't need a babysitter.
  6. Beyond Frustrated with WGU

    Over a month ago, I applied with WGU. I was told by the enrollment counselor that as long as my transcripts were received by Sept. 15, 2015 I could start October 1st. I had my transcripts expedited over night with one school, paying over 50.00 for ov...
  7. Orientation starts in less than 2 hours

    I've read over the TASK 1 and it still doesn't make sense; even after watching the videos 5times. Ready for a mentor to be assigned to me. I have a list of questions ready to go.
  8. Yes You Can

    Don't let anyone tell you that EC graduates are not taken seriously in the world of nursing. I had an interview today and my interviewer was a graduate from EC. She is the DON of an ICU hospital. I got the job, btw.
  9. Orientation starts in less than 2 hours

  10. Orientation starts in less than 2 hours

    I called and they said until we have mentors assigned to us, we will not be able to see the tasks.
  11. Orientation starts in less than 2 hours

    Thank you so much!
  12. Is it true all nurses get MRSA or C-DIFF?

    We swabbed a restaurant table when I was in microbiology. It tested positive for c-diff. I think the zombie apocalypse is going to start from either a Walmart cart or a buffet restaurant.
  13. Orientation starts in less than 2 hours

    So I have a stupid question. Where are the tasks located for the biochemistry class? I clicked the assessment box on the "degree plan." It just explains a small description of what the task is. Am I over looking it? Feeling overwhelmed right now...
  14. Orientation starts in less than 2 hours

    I finished the orientation in about 2 hours as well. Started watching the videos on biochem. Good luck to every one!
  15. Yes You Can

    I went to Chamberburg, PA for my CPNE. There's multiple sites you can choose from.
  16. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    I was reading on the Texas Nurse Board that SB1753 requires name badges to say REGISTERED NURSE, LICENSED VOCATIONAL NURSE, NURSE MIDWIFE, CLINICAL NURSE SPECIALIST not just RN, LVN, CNS, etc... it goes on to state that hospitals have until 09-01-19 ...
  17. Nursing in USA or Philippines?

    I feel like it would be easier and cheaper to move out of state than move across the world.
  18. Studer?

    Are you the student (now nurse), who came on here last December, and said everyone was drunk and stoned on the L/D floor except you and a fellow nurse student?
  19. Worry over past employment

    From what I have been told, over the course of this decade, that a former employer can only say what dates you worked there and if you can be rehired. If I am wrong, someone will correct me quickly.
  20. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Ummm, I am a nurse herein Texas, and no a CNA or a MA can call themselves a nurse.
  21. Beyond Frustrated with WGU

    I finally got my intake interview completed on Wednesday. But now my wgu email account is completely locked. "IT is aware of this problem and has no idea when it will be fixed." Per phone from the nursing department. It's just one thing after another...
  22. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    Here in America, cultural differences are drilled into our brains. In fact, it's a chapter all by itself. Plus, it is re-integrated throughout our nursing programs. WE get culture differences. In fact, most of us on here, are from different cultures...
  23. Help!

    I used to throw up before every shift. This is normal. Don't give up.
  24. Cost of LPN program?

    Mine was $7,500 five years ago.
  25. Social media and nursing don't mix

    Forgive me, but in your other posts you claim to have a bachelors degree. You're a high school teacher, but don't want to do the accelerated BSN, d/t lack of science and math. My mother was a high school teacher, much older than you and she have to h...
