I'm starting the RN-BSN program on August 1st and I can't be more excited. I've already started working on some of my classes since the objectives have been revealed to me.
I did have one question for the WGU vets -- I was told I had to take a biochem class. I hate science and would do anything to not have to take this class. I submitted an appeal back when my transcripts were read because I did take Intro to Chemistry I and II when I was in my ADN program. The reviewer said I still had to take biochem, however at the end of her email rejecting my appeal she wrote: "Please be advised that we will only accept courses in the Chemistry department for this requirement". I'm so confused because I've read that others have fulfilled their biochem requirement with Intro to Chem classes at their other schools, and her comment kind of leads me to believe that. I did email her tonight since I start the program so soon.
Anyone here able to lose the biochem thanks to a regular chemistry class???

FWIW, I learned a TON in the Biochem course, it went very in depth into certain topics that were just touched upon in A&P.
The ax you have to grind against WGU is really getting old...
Well maybe your A&P courses were not as intense as ours, my axe to grind is mine, don't like it? Ignore. Simple. If its so old to you why respond? Just saying...
Anyhoo...good job, RN Mommy! I told you you could do it!
Thanks Klone! You were right! I did learn a lot as well. In fact one of the task topics hit very close to home and i had researched it about 10 years ago. Having the opportunity to re-research it and see how much knowledge has been gained in 10 years was amazing. All in all i still dislike science, but it isn't my Achilles heel anymore. That has a new name...math. Haha.
