WGU RN-MSN April 2016 start

Published

0Hi, I'm starting on April 1st, 2016. Anybody here starting with me? I initially applied for the RN-BSN program but after thinking about it, I just decided to go for it and go straight to MSN with the hopes of finishing the program in at least 12-18 months. My start date was supposed to be March 1st but I was just told that I'll have to wait one more month.

My ultimate goal is to go to a NP program in CA by doing post Master's certificate. I'm not sure which schools would accept, though. I've been looking at other programs but the cost is just prohibitive at this point. I want to earn my MSN at least and go from there!

I'm in! Just had my intake interview today for the April RN-MSN cohort.

Let's connect again as it gets closer! :up:

I got moved up to January instead of April, which I was really happy about. Anyone get moved up from the April to Jan start date?

No, but I'd like to. I wonder how that happened...someone dropped out of the January group maybe?

I emailed my enrollment counselor and she called me on the phone about a minute later! She's on the ball... She said they got new mentors and have opened new spots in the Jan., Feb., and March cohorts and offered me a spot if I wanted it.

After deliberating the possibility tonight, I've decided to stick with my April start date.

I'm a new nurse (started ft in June) working 12 hr shifts on an acute care floor. The stress sometimes leaves me zombified :dead:my first day off, then I'm normal for a day, and my last day off I just prepare to go back (laundry, food prep, etc.). I think I need some more time to adjust before I take on more schooling. I'll be ready by April!

:yes:

My mentor asked if I wanted to move up I would like to do the feb cohort because my work will reimburse $3000 per calendar year (Jan-dec) so if I start feb it will run into the following year and so on. Check with your work if they have something like that! It's great :up:

Got moved up to February too! I was offered both Jan and Feb or stick to April. I just decided to do Feb:)

I am interested in applying for the RN-MSN program. Does anyone have a referral code for the application fee waiver? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

No worries, as soon as you show interest in WGU someone from the school will email you a waiver code. They did me but I do have a code from someone if you need it though.

I'm hoping to start the BSN to MSN in Leadership in June or July. Fingers crossed!
