WGU MSN in Informatics

Published

Hey guys, I've been looking into Master's degree programs in Nursing and came across WGU. It looks like a good fit for what I'm looking for (online, affordable, and something I can do while working full-time).

But when I clicked for further information on the website I was IMMEDIATELY called by one of their staff - and when I mean immediately I mean within 2 minutes of requesting information on their website. They were really pushy in investigating my background, my intention for getting into the program, and getting me to sign up to apply. Their admission process doesn't seem to require any GRE or recommendation letters which is weird.

Does anyone have any experience with this program in particular? How have employers reacted to this degree, and did you have trouble finding a job in the field?

Specializes in Outpatient/Clinic, ClinDoc.

I finished the program last year and was happy with the experience. My employer accepted without issue. That said, I work in Clinical Documentation and not in informatics by choice! :)

WGU doesn't require GRE or recommendation letters for any degrees.

I had heard that some of the enrollment counselors can be pushy - rest assured it gets better once you get past them. You can also request a different EC if needed.

Hi im also interested in getting a masters in informatics at WGU.

Can you please comment on if WGU helped you find a preceptor or did you have to find one on your own?
