Western Governors University- WGU Masters in Nursing program

[nurseglitter]

Hey everyone:nurse:, I was wondering how credible an online school like WGU is... I am thinking about applying for the Masters in Nursing Education online nursing program, but I don't want to invest time and money into this online university if it is not a highly respected degree. Has anyone attended/ hired WGU graduates?

Look into East Carolina University. I graduated in 2010, May with my MSN with concentration in leadership. They are ranked as one of the best online programs in the US. The first day I set foot on campus was the day I graduated. My diploma is the same as anyone who went to class every day. My professors were wonderful. I still stay in touch with them and confer with them. The price was not nearly as high either. I guess you can tell I'm a HUGE fan.

I would also like to hear from any of you that have started/completed the MSN program at WGU. Seems like people talk about doing it, and then disappear! Maybe because it is a busy program? Hopefully someone has actually followed through and started the program so they can share their experience with all of us who are curious what it's like!

WGU is very reputable. We haven't disappeared, we just post in the "distance learning" forum.
