I am a long ways off from doing this, but I am starting to research now. Has anyone completed a Post Masters FNP after their MSN at WGU? Were you MSN Leadership or Education? I am trying to decide if I want to stay in the RN-BSN program and then appl...

I am feeling heartbroken. I work hard, I am always on time. I switch shifts all the time when asked by my manager last minute. I am on 2 committees that are extra. I am also back in school working on my BSN. Well, we just got our annual raise, mine i...

Is anyone enrolled in this course yet? Just looking for feedback as it seems people are struggling to make the Live sessions fit in their schedule. Is it just for new students? My mentor doesn't check email outside of regular business hours and I'm ...

We are about to switch to epic and I have an opportunity to be epic credentialed. It's an 8 month gig, 5 days a week and I love Informatics and hope to work in it someday. I currently work 3 twelves in a clinical job. I know I won't get my curren...

Do you have to take pre reqs or do you know what will transfer?

There is not a lot of feedback yet on the new stats and biochem. Once a few people get through them they might be able to offer advice. Advanced Proff Roles just got way longer as well. The changes all seem to be slowing people down.

Does your employer offer any incentive for : BSN? Certification? Clinical ladder? What state are you in?

What kind of job do you have now? Less stress sounds nice.

There are actually 2 different health assessment classes that require videos. One is in the RN-MSN and there is an MSN version. The MSN version is a bit longer and more involved. Do not let this class scare you off it is not bad at all. Its a test, a...

I appreciate all of your responses. Now I feel much more grateful for even getting a raise at all. It is so sad to see that nurses just do not get pay increases like we used to. It is not surprising that turnover is so high.

Good news! I asked to speak with my manager last week about my raise, and she scheduled an appointment for the end of this week. However, I got an email yesterday saying that my raise had been adjusted up another 1%. So I am guessing she knew what I ...

My employer is having a breakfast party one day, a lunch party another, and manicures another. They are being held in the administrative buildings, so no staff nurses will have time to leave the floor and get over there and back since its a pretty go...

Our employer constantly brags that business is booming, and they just opened another campus. It is also booming. When it comes to staff performance and hcaps, they want us to "be the best of the best and strive for excellence " but when it comes to p...

I am the only one in my department on a committee, and I am the only one with a specialty certification which I earned this past year. And sadly, on my unit, being on time is pretty rare although I agree it is a normal expectation. We have really poo...

My enrollment guy called constantly, but guessed whenever I asked questions and got a lot of his answers wrong. Not very knowledgable. Most info I found myself online. Once you are enrolled, you don't speak to them again, so you just have to get thr...

Not a fan of my mentor. While she's always polite, I have a lot of hurdles that other people do not seem to have and she always gives me things to do that are unnecessary. It seems like the mentors are getting tighter on everyone. I've considered req...

I am in this class now, too! It seems like a lot of us are bogged down. It had been a real slow down for me. Task 2 was at least interesting but task 1 has been super tedious. I think when you compare this being worth 3 credits and Nutrition being wo...

They are trialing a new version on Biochemistry right now, too.

I recently took this course. They say if you pass all the checkpoints in the textbook with an 80 or better you will pass the exam. My student mentor really pressured me with this class, I was warned that the remediation if you fail is really bad. She...

It depends on your mentor. I see a lot of complaints about people being slowed down. I had a slow mentor who had all kinds of rules no one else had, and got a new one that is much, much better. I had to really push to get a new one they initially den...

I am currently looking into Rivier, anything you'd like to share? I am going to speak with them today but I am in research overload and feel like I need an Excel spreadsheet. lol. What made you choose them over another school?

I recently went back to school for my BSN and since I am enjoying learning again I am starting to consider what comes next. I just wanted to say, the options are so overwhelming! And even more so, the cost of higher education! But isn't it nice to be...

Thats a lot of information!

Has anyone completed one recently?
