WGU pre licensure program

Nursing Students Western Governors

Published

Hello everyone,

I am applying to the pre licensure program at , I have everything done already, and I will have my interview with Joe the Prelicensure Team lead on Friday, I am very excited to start the program, but also very afraid and anxious, I really hope I can get in. My counselor said that the next cohort for the Los Angeles area starts in March 2012, so if everything goes well I wil be the happiest person alive if I get in and start in march. Is there anyone applying to this cohort? Does anyone know any other cohort starting earlier? if anyone has any tips for me, what should I do next, or if anyone that is already in the program has any tips, any info will be greatly appreciated!!!

What should I expect regarding the clinicals application, is the emotional intelligence test hard? What about the WGU's foundational nursing skills performance assessment?

Thank you very much in advance!!!

Well I've been in contact with them for about 2 years now, one of my fellow CNA classmates was applying and got in, but I had to finish all my science pre-reqs first. I applied in like April/may hoping to get into July but I missed it by like a week bc I finished micro but couldn't get them my grade fast enough lol. So once they got that in they put me in the pool for the Pasadena cohort

That's terrific! That darn micro. LOL! I am in the same boat.

Do you work at one of the partner hospitals as a CNA? I heard the Pasadena hospital is a great clinical site :)

Hello everyone me and my classmates have 1 1/2 yrs to go i hope we all make it. In regards to clinical sites, we go to Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena and we work with great coaches we're so lucky! Everyone there were all very nice and helpful. They schedulled our group for 5-days orientation, we got our id access with a student badge and we're good to go. So far has been good eventhough we need to order pricey uniforms from Dove Apparel and somewhat pricey lab kits for practicing skills at home, we don't regret enrolling into their pre-licensure program. Some students from San Diego doesn't mind driving to Los Angeles for labs and clinicals.

I am applying for the next cohort for the pre-licensure program in L.A... I am a working LPN with a 3.9 science GPA, bad part is I scored low on the TEAS 75% adjusted individual score.... Would love some feedback... do I have a chance of getting in?

lvnrnmd2be,

oh yes you have a huge chance of getting in the program. I think the TEAS requirement for WGU is only 65% or 67% i forgot already. WGU will also let you take an admissions kind of test composed of Science, Math and some essays. Good luck!

Congrats to those of you who got accepted into the program! I was wondering, for those of you who are currently working on the program how does your weekly/monthly schedule look like? I will probably be in next years cohort and wanted some insight on how I should schedule my work/family schedule so that I can start making plans on what to expect. Thanks in advance! Cheers!!!!
