WGU RN-MSN Education

[MYarr]

Hi everyone! I'm interested in pursuing my RN-MSN in Nursing Education at WGU. Has anyone completed the program successfully? If so, was it worth it, how long did it take you to complete, what was the hardest part(s) for you?

I'm interested in teaching online in the future and wondering if this program prepares you for that and if there are grads that successfully land online nursing instructor positions post completion of their MSN at WGU?

Thank you all in advance!

They don’t offer any dual programs because it’s competency based and you pay for time (6 month increments). They do have an MBA Healthcare Management program, but it’s not the same as the MSN. They also won’t allow you to complete more than one masters in a 6-month term (so if it takes you 7 months, you have to wait for a new term before you can begin working on an additional masters)
 

That said... a little bird told me WGU might be rolling out some post-masters certificate programs in the next year. I don’t know details, just that they are expanding.

Spaghetti 321. Thank you for your help! I am new to the whole masters education realm.  Lots questions to be asked.
