    Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    I suppose it's not that bad if you also have an MSN to go along with it. Any business-related Master's will be very helpful in upward mobility in the hospital. I just like the versatility of the MBA...

    Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    Other than the first three being related, that's a pretty wide range of careers. MS in HR really seems like a better fit for someone who has been working in HR for years and is looking to promote...

    Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    Just out of curiosity, what are your long-term goals? Unless you're dead-set on working in HR, I'm not able to perceive the benefit of an MS in HR over a seemingly more-versatile MBA. Not criticizing...

    When is the transcript updated to reflect BSN completion?

    Murse901 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    You should be clear to submit your EMSU application. Simply wait until your transcript is updated to submit the actual transcript request. It is not instantaneous upon completion of the last...

    Tips for getting through RN to BSN ASAP

    Murse901 replied to kwade84's topic in Western Governors University

    The biggest piece of advice that I can give any WGU student is -- when you submit a task to TaskStream, forget about it until it's graded. It took me a long time to stop stalking TaskStream, and I...

    I completed my BSN today. Feel free to ask any questions

    Murse901 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Unfortunately, WGU does not have a Sigma Theta Tau chapter, so no dice on joining them as a BSN student. HOWEVER, after you've earned your BSN, you can apply to STTI as a Nurse Leader. You will have...

    I completed my BSN today. Feel free to ask any questions

    Murse901 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Question: How does it feel to have earned a CCNE- and regionally-accredited BSN in (probably) less time and for far less money than your local university? Congrats on your success. Now, on to your...

    Western Governors University

    Murse901 replied to Stella397's topic in Western Governors University

    I attended WGU for my BSN, and I would definitely choose WGU if I had to do it all over again. As klone said, however, there are tons of stories and lots of information about folks' experience already...

    RN to BSN ad WGU then onto NP program?

    Murse901 replied to mykg's topic in Western Governors University

    I graduated from WGU's RN-to-BSN program last year. I was accepted into both Maryville University and University of Memphis' FNP programs. I ended up going with U of M, because the Maryville rep I had...

    PolyHealthcare Legit or Scam?

    Murse901 replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Online Distance Learning

    User2525 is obviously a shill for PolyHealthcare. They joined just to post to this

    MSN......education vs leadership

    Murse901 replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    My opinion is that you should go for the leadership track, as it may be more versatile. Overall, it probably doesn't matter -- the MSN is going to make you more qualified than most of your peers...

    Office Manager -- worthwhile to get experience or no?

    Murse901 posted a topic in Nurse Management

    I recently switched my MSN major to Nursing Executive Leadership. Switched from FNP because... well, to be honest, I became pretty disillusioned with the FNP role halfway into the program. Grades were...

    Office Manager -- worthwhile to get experience or no?

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Nurse Management

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I think, at this time, I'm going to pass up the office manager opportunity and continue to look for opportunities in my unit and in the hospital. Just in the past...

    Masters of Science in Leadership and Managment

    Murse901 replied to neuroRN14's topic in Western Governors University

    neuroRN14: Just for clarification, are you talking about the MSN Leadership and Management (nursing-specific), or the MS Management and Leadership (under the business school)? Just asking, because...

    Any Chamberlain RN-to-BSN that have gone on to FNP?

    Murse901 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello all. I'm looking to get into an FNP program as soon as possible, before the big 2015 switch to DNP. I know there's some question as to whether or not the move to DNP for FNP's will happen across...

    What university did you attend after graduating from Western Governors University?

    Murse901 replied to RescueNinja2013's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I didn't take the MSN at WGU for a couple of reasons. WGU didn't (and still doesn't) offer a Nurse Practitioner option when I decided to pursue my MSN and I wanted local name recognition for my MSN. U...

    MSN vs MBA

    Murse901 replied to msladynurse4life's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think the short answer is going to be -- it depends. I think the longer answer is going to be -- it doesn't matter. I compared a LOT of MBA and MHA programs before I decided to just bite the bullet...

    What university did you attend after graduating from Western Governors University?

    Murse901 replied to RescueNinja2013's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was accepted into the University of Memphis MSN/FNP program before I even graduated from WGU. No issues with the GPA. Halfway through the FNP program, I ended up switching my MSN major to Executive...

    WGU online ASN-BSN program?

    Murse901 replied to sjr2004's topic in Western Governors University

    I finished my WGU RN-to-BSN last year, and it was probably the best thing I did for my career. My WGU degree enabled me to enter my local university's MSN program without any question as to the...

    nursing & pharm tech

    Murse901 replied to reka2014's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The short answer is: it depends. If you mean you want to take the pharmacy tech classes while taking your pre-req's for RN school, then you can probably do this. If you want to take them while you're...

    Experiences with Western Governors University???

    Murse901 replied to coopman712's topic in Western Governors University

    Please enlighten us as to why one of the most affordable, non-profit, CCNE-accredited universities is the "worse school ever"? I suspect that you won't be able to articulate an argument worth reading,...

    Best major before BSN/MSN program?

    Murse901 replied to mokat's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'll echo what everyone else has said -- your previous degree subject doesn't matter a hill of beans, only the GPA and whether or not you've managed to knock out some of those pre-req's with it. The...

    May 1st Start Date WGU

    Murse901 replied to CNRN_Cali's topic in Western Governors University

    You can add University of Memphis, TN to this list. I was accepted last year before I even finished my BSN at WGU. I'm now in my second

    MBA in Healthcare Management

    Murse901 replied to NightNurse876's topic in Western Governors University

    You can't do two concurrent programs at WGU (i.e. both the WGU MSN and the WGU MBA) but my MSN is through my local university. My enrollment advisor sent my request up the chain of command and, while...
