Hi, LoveThisNurse - I would love to know the name of the hospice agency in California where your friend got a job as a new grad. I am also a new grad RN in California, have volunteered at a hospice...

Good luck to you, Will-b-an-RN! I started WGU 8/1/2012 and it's working well for me so far.

Hi Nurse Jaydee - I live in Laguna Hills! How about you?

Hi Chaisaci - I'm sorry you're unable to start 8/1; that's really frustrating. At least 9/1 is just one month later! Take care!

Hi RNRules - I'm starting Wednesday, 8/1 as well. I spoke with my mentor last week for the first time and am scheduled to speak with her again this Wednesday. I'm happy with how it's going so far....

How frustrating, Chaisaci! I hope you can still start on 8/1. What does your enrollment counselor say? Good luck!

Hi RN Rules - How funny that you're using Khan, too! Good luck!

Hi RNRules - I'm trying to get a headstart on some of my pre-req's (eg. algebra, statistics) by using the free Khan Academy website (not affiliated with WGU, but quite well-regarded and well-known). ...

Hi MyVieFolle07 - What a strange situation! I hope you're able to start August 1st as planned and find out VERY soon which courses you must take! Let us know what you hear this week.

Hi RNRules - I have to take 5 other courses plus the core nursing courses, but I'll just try to move quickly through them. I've already paid my tuition and completed the orientation (EWB) and am...

I feel the same way, LynnR.N. All my transcripts are in and I'm just waiting for them to be evaluated. I, too, hope I only have to take the core nursing courses. Good luck to you!

That's great to know, DanaRR! Thanks for sharing that info; I'll check out the facebook group.

My enrollment counselor is Brandie. I sure hope I can find out all courses I need to take (and thus be able to estimate how long it'll take me to finish) BEFORE I pay for the term!

I'm from California, too - Orange County. I believe proof of immunizations are required, as well as a background check. I'd love to get it done in 6 months, too.

I have an ADN, too - I wonder how many courses I'll need besides the core classes. I hadn't realized they'd changed the requirements lately.

I think I just have the core nursing courses to take, but I guess I won't know for sure until my transcripts are evaluated. I'd love to finish in two terms, or even one (I've heard that's possible!).

Good luck with your final interview tomorrow, Myviefolle07!

Thanks for responding to my post, Chaisaci. I'm waiting for one last transcript and am excited, too! Hope your transcript comes in soon!

I'm on track to start WGU's RN to BSN program August 1st. Just waiting to get all my transcripts in and evaluated. Anyone else starting WGU in August?
