Yes, I am in the prelicensure program and overall I really like it. There are several flaws, as with all programs, but its a fairly new program and hopefully they will work the kinks out. They do not...

WGU's motto or slogan is: "Online. Accelerated. Affordable. Accredited." This is a university slogan, not one that is only being used by a few different programs. This same slogan is also...

The Western Governors Pre-Licensure BSN Nursing program is no longer an "accelerated" program. It used to be a 2 year program, it has now been extended to 2 1/2 years. I believe the change was made...

I have a classmate that works full time and two that work part time and they are able to keep on top of things. They just have to be more dedicated.As far as studying beforehand, I don't think it...

Yes I still use that email. We are not allowed to tell anyone what we were tested on. The reason is because it will give others an unfair advantage. And, I did it without knowing and you can to! You...

I do remember but we are not allowed to say.

Always wash your hands, introduce yourself, check physician orders, check patient wrist band for name, MRN, room number, and birth date. Ask permission to touch patient. When palpating for a pulse,...

The interviews are conducted over the phone or webcam. They ask why you want to be a nurse, why did you chose WGU over a "normal" nursing program, are you going to be able to dedicate enough time to...

I am in the WGU nursing program in California. I am over half-way done and I can say its a good program. Luckily I got in the 2-year program before they extended it another 6 months. From what I've...

If something like that offends you, you will get destroyed during rotations.

"where did you guys bought the patch?" make sure you use better grammar on your future taskstream essays. they will not pass sentences like that. i actually dont remember where they had us buy...

It depends on the loan you take out, how long you want to repay it, if you'll take extra money for the cost of living, etc. Most students take out significantly more than what school costs so they...

Oh sorry about that! I wish I had posted that sooner. Maybe someone else will it and it will help them out. For clinicals we went 5 days in a 2-week period. The shifts are between 7am-7:30pm. You...

Fcat, I am in the August 2011 cohort at Cedars. So far the program has progressed very well. There have been a few bumps along the way, as in any school, but overall Im very happy and satisfied with...

I applied thinking they had a high pass rate, like around 96-100%. When I got denied I was frustrated and a little bitter because I only applied to a few schools and this was my first choice. At the...

Thats the State of California's information....it cant get more accurate than that. Those numbers are straight from NCLEX to the BRN. And it doesn't matter if the BSN and ABSN programs are combined...

Thats not what this says: http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/passrates.shtml

The BSN program got 76.54% and the ADN got 78.82%. I dont know if youre a student there, but their pass rates are pathetic, especially considering how much they charge for some of the worst pass...

Mt St Marys had one of the lowest NCLEX pass rates for 2010/2011 in California. Most good schools have pass rates of 92% or higher. Schools in the 80% range are pretty sketchy and should be avoided...

EVLGNUS, Im in the Cedars Sinai cohort, the one that started August 1, 2011. Some WGU nursing students meet at El Camino college in Torrance with us. They are also going to Cedars, and they wear a...

I think they may be doing Riverside after the October cohort.

I have one 19 month old little boy. I talked to a different enrollment counselor today than my normal one and he told me that Im on the list for Cedar Sinai. He said there were about 50 people who...

Anyone know how many applied to this cohort?

I was told we wouldn't find out until after August 19 or 20 when we get tested on our nursing skills boot camp. Then those who pass will later be told which hospital they will be going to. I...
