A lot of the posts about the BSN and MSN programs are from a while ago. I'd love to start a newer thread about the program.
Personally, I am to start the MSN specializing in education this March 2015. I would love to hear from students that will be starting, as well as current students, to offer advice and answer questions that many of us have!
I'd like to hear more about everyone's experience so far... a few questions I've had include:
Do you feel that you have the content/resources you need to successfully complete your exams/papers?
What are some difficulties you've experienced and how did you overcome them?
What advice can you offer on setting a schedule to complete coursework in a timely manner?
How are the proctored assessments? Level of difficulty? How did you prepare?
Are they crazy about grammar and whatnot... or are they more interested that you are mastering the subject (content)?
What do you particularly like about the program so far? Favorite things vs. things you wish were done differently?
I keep hearing about Capstone, and the many hours you have to put into this. How do they count your hours? Is someone signing off on them or are you keeping your own hours log?
A little background about me-- I was an LPN for 7 years. I've worked mostly at a hospital on a telemetry unit. I did one year in a LTC/Rehab specializing in long term vent patients.
I am a recent graduate at a local college where I completed my LPN to RN ADN. I am now working as an RN on a telemetry unit. I have a very strong clinical background and I'm looking forward to continuing my education ! It's been very stressful looking into schools and trying to decide where to go. WGU seems like a great fit. I have co-workers that have done it and have nothing but nice things to say.
Please, feel free to add questions to this thread. I hope to hear from many of you! Thank you in advance, and good luck to all !!
