   mistyp88 replied to CMorg25's topic in Western Governors

   AfreeRN23 I just graduated in June and have taken and passed my NCLEX. Not much as changed, there are few changes that happened along the program after us, but not much. My clinicals were at LakePointe hospital in Rowlett. That was for ICU, Med Su...

2. Prelicensure Clinical Schedule

   mistyp88 replied to EmmReeCPT's topic in Western Governors

   We got our last clinical schedule with very little notice as well and was told that we were being put on nights. Would not have been as bad if we had our schedule sooner. I get the impression that they don't care if it works with our life or not.

3. WGU: Pre-Licensure BSN

   mistyp88 replied to CMorg25's topic in Western Governors

   I am in the Dallas cohort and what was stated above is all true. I am able to switch my scheduled days around, but you will not get your scheduled days until about 1-2 weeks before the blocked time. Labs are on the weekends so you will be good for ...

4. Pre-Licensure Clinicals

   mistyp88 replied to cmgev's topic in Western Governors

   I am currently in the Dallas cohort. They like to get the schedules out 2 weeks in advance, but it is not a guarantee. I have a classmate that commutes about 4 hours. She stays with another classmate, but her schedule is random and her days were n...

5. Western Governors University

   mistyp88 replied to Amino's topic in Western Governors

   I am currently in the pre-licensure program. I did most of my pre req's at my local community college. I had a lot of the classes anyways from my previous degree. I do work full time and I am in my first clinical rotation. It is not easy, but it ...

7. WGU Prelicensure Dallas, Texas

   mistyp88 replied to DFWRNStudent's topic in Western Governors

   Julie, The clinicals are set once you receive your schedule. They made it clear that you kind of get what you get. They said to be totally free and flexible for those couple of weeks for clinical. You could have nightshift, dayshift, weekend or ho...

8. WGU Prelicensure Dallas, Texas

   mistyp88 replied to DFWRNStudent's topic in Western Governors

   We are just entering the first real semester of the nursing portion. I felt the pre-nursing curriculum was easy to handle with full time and work and family. I was able to finish a month early and added 2 classes onto the term. We are in week 3 an...

9. Is anyone out there having such a hard time with WGU?

   mistyp88 replied to E2NURSE's topic in Western Governors

   I am not very good in math and found the pre-assessment difficult. I studied for about 5 weeks and used Kahn Academy online to help with things I did not understand. They give you lots of material to study and reach out to the course mentors and ma...

10. I need help with the WGU Statistics class

    mistyp88 replied to Casper55's topic in Western Governors

    I felt that the pre was very similar to the assessment. Go to Kahn Academy online and it has videos that help explain things. I am not very good in math. I studied about 4 to 5 weeks and took all 3 pre assessments and scored higher each time and m...

11. what classes to start first?

    mistyp88 replied to amberm5's topic in Western Governors

    I just finished pre nursing and my student mentor set up my classes for me and I was able to fly through them relatively quickly. Biochem I finished in about 4.5 weeks (only tasks; lots of drawings and essays), stats 5 weeks (only an objective assess...

12. Where to buy cheap scrubs?

    mistyp88 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Uniform/Gear

    A bit of advice, when you do have more money, spend a little more on scrubs because they will last longer. The low price scrubs don't last long, fade, and over time do not look good. You will be buying more scrubs. Also, with the first wash put a ...

13. Scrubs that are stretchy and are available in petite

    mistyp88 replied to fsaav's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Carrheart has some awesome stretchy scrubs with lots of pockets. Unsure of petite sizes though.

14. Statistics and BioChem at WGU

    mistyp88 replied to niteshift_mister87's topic in Western Governors

    I really enjoyed the Biochem through WGU. It was lots of tedious tasks and writing a few essays, but very doable and not hard. No exam or assessment to take. I just finished Statistics. I am not a math person and felt a lot of stress with the cla...
