  1. Transferring Credit from Aspen University

    RNRy replied to Ann.E's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't look strictly at cost per credit hour. Many for profit schools are notorious for requiring students to take an exorbitant number of credit hours to complete a degree program. They make their...

  2. Will I be able to get a hospital job with BSN from WGU? Will they look at it different?

    RNRy replied to Jaellys's topic in Western Governors University

    WGU is no longer nationally accredited. They did not renew their national accreditation after they obtained regional accreditation. However, there was no need to since regional accreditation is...

    RNRy replied to CheyanneLawson's topic in Nursing Career

    I echo what the other posters have said: DON'T DO IT! Sent from my iPhone using

  4. Louisville hospital jobs

    RNRy replied to Audri3456's topic in General Nursing

    University of Kentucky is also a level 1 trauma center. Sent from my iPhone using

  5. Touro Nevada DNP Summer 2015 cohort

    RNRy replied to VETEROSA's topic in School, College Programs

    VETEROSA, If I may, I have some questions for you: How much support are you receiving for your DNP project? How many hours per week are you devoting to your studies? How many clinical hours did you...

  6. Touro Nevada DNP Summer 2015 cohort

    RNRy replied to VETEROSA's topic in School, College Programs

    I would love to hear more about your experience at Touro. I was supposed to start the DNP program in July, but I got nervous and backed out. I regret my decision now. I work 40-50+ hours a week, and I...

  7. Can't recall a term for cast?

    RNRy replied to Jmarty31's topic in General Nursing

    Are you referring to a sling and swathe? Sent from my iPhone using

  8. CPEN

    RNRy replied to bballbrownie's topic in Emergency

    I obtained my CPEN certification last year. Scott DeBoer's book is great; I read it cover to cover and was very engaged. I also watched some of his lectures on YouTube. Sent from my iPhone using...

  9. I already miss you, WGU!

    RNRy replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    If you are applying for a job that requires a graduate degree, do potential employers care where you got your undergrad degree? It would make sense that they would mainly be concerned with where you...

  10. Is ADN sufficient to ba trauma RN?

    RNRy replied to lena04's topic in General Nursing

    What's the sample size of that study? It would also be interesting to learn how many of those ADN graduates had to sign a contract stating they will enroll in a BSN program. Sent from my iPhone using...

  11. Is ADN sufficient to ba trauma RN?

    RNRy replied to lena04's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you can hold out hope that the tides will turn - maybe they will, maybe the won't. In the meantime, those with a BSN or ADNs with years and years of experience (not the new grad ADNs) will be...

  12. Is ADN sufficient to ba trauma RN?

    RNRy replied to lena04's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't learn strictly about public health nursing, leadership, and research while completing my RN-BSN program. I also had a pathophysiology course, advanced assessment course, and informatics...

  13. Is ADN sufficient to ba trauma RN?

    RNRy replied to lena04's topic in General Nursing

    Get the BSN; you are going to have to sooner or later. There are 3 hospitals in the city where I work. All 3 will hire ADN nurses, but you have to sign a contract stating you will enroll in a BSN...

  14. DNP after WGU anyone?

    RNRy replied to ValentinaRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I completed my MSN under the old curriculum. I start my DNP program this month, and I've been given credit for roughly 135 hours related to my MSN capstone. Sent from my iPhone using

  15. Final Capstone paper PASSED!!

    RNRy replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

    Congratulations, klone! Which degree did you finish? Sent from my iPhone using

  16. Online Nursing Instructor Positions

    RNRy posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hello all! I would love to dabble in online teaching. I have wanted to teach RN-BSN classes ever since I was an RN-BSN student myself (years 2011-2012). I teach Kaplan NCLEX reviews and participate in...

  17. Jane Doe, RN, AAS, BSN, MSN, CCRN BFD

    RNRy replied to Oceanpacific's topic in General Nursing

    Why does it "bother" anyone what another nurse puts after his or her name? Are you upset because you don't have those same credentials? I spent a lot of time and money on my degrees and...

  18. DNP before NP cert

    RNRy replied to RNRy's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Truly, I think I'm stuck. I know I want my doctorate degree. Period. I definitely want to teach. Part of me wants to proceed in management. Part of me wants to be a nurse practitioner, though I'm...

  19. What age did you complete your BSN or ASN?

    RNRy replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ADN 20, BSN 25 Sent from my iPhone using

  20. Start over with WGU MSN or transfer credits to a non-RA MSN?

    RNRy replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    I was comparing Aspen to ASU, not Aspen to WGU. I know how cost effective WGU is, and I know that WGU is regionally accredited. I graduated from WGU in one term. Sent from my iPhone using

  21. WGU MSN in 6 months

    RNRy replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    My advice: If you do happen to complete the MSN degree in one term, I'd keep it to myself. Completing a graduate degree in 6 months doesn't exactly say "quality" and "authentic" to a lot of people and...

  22. RN to BSN Recommendations?

    RNRy replied to Vdaniels15's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Western Governors University, Ohio University, and University of Southern Indiana are very cost-effective

  23. Can you get "unpromoted" if coworkers complain enough?

    RNRy replied to arack05's topic in General Nursing

    You were obviously chosen for the position because your supervisors saw your potential and thought you would be a good fit for the position, so congratulations! It would be shameful if your managers...

  24. Start over with WGU MSN or transfer credits to a non-RA MSN?

    RNRy replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    It is also NA, but much cheaper. Hundreds of dollars per credit hour

  25. Start over with WGU MSN or transfer credits to a non-RA MSN?

    RNRy replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    Have you considered Aspen University? I would definitely choose Aspen over
