Hello! I was hoping to get some advice. I am looking for online MSN programs in leadership, and have been looking at WGU's program because of the convenience of it and the affordability of it. Has anyone gone thru this program and have any information about it?

However, for MSN degrees, do people look at where you got your degree from while getting hired? Or, should I look at MSN programs more well known?

I'm also possibly looking at an MSN/MBA program, but not sure how beneficial it would actually be.

Thanks!

WGU is actually quite well known. I can tell you that an MSN in Leadership from WGU has opened many doors for me, and didn't put me thousands of dollars in debt. I don't regret it and would do it again.

I was just taking to my manager about WGU, she went for her MSN in leadership. She loved it and completed the course work in 11 months. I'm looking at the MSN in education, but she still recommended me to WGU.

I do have another co-worker getting her BSN through them, she has been struggling to stay on time line and it's going to cost her a fortune. So make sure you are the sort of person that can make deadlines for yourself and get it done before starting any program were you pay for the time not the credits.

I am also considering an MSN from WGU. Leadership or informatics appeals to me, but the MBA sounds interesting as well! I need some guidance.
