Any recent WKU Nursing students?

Published

I was wondering how competitive it is now. I've done some research on average GPAs, HESI scores etc. of those admitted into WKU's BSN program, but can only find older information. I know someone who was just accepted with a 3.8 GPA and a very high HESI score and was wondering if that was the norm? How likely is it that someone with a lower GPA (but above 3.0), 3.5 science GPA, and above 85% on the HESI will be accepted? Any info will ease the stress!:)

My cousin works at scrubs express in BG so I will likely get my shoes from there when I get my scrubs. I work as a cmt now so I have a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff and all that junk.

Lol, yeah I changed my name. Once I saw that it was an option I decided to try it out..but now I wish I wouldn't have lol. Anyways. I think we should get as many people that were accepted as we possibly can to join allnurses and just create our own little forum on what we are buying and the best deals, etc. I really want to buy my scrubs and other clothing items now, but I am hesitant... And I am hesitant to by my BP cuff because I heard that the wrong one will give you a defective result? I'm not sure. Have any of you guys looked at the prices for the shoes? And can they just be athletic shoes?

Change isn't always a bad thing! Lol I agree on getting people in the forum but any ideas on how? I emailed kristy Mayes earlier today about the shoes and she said as long as there white or black leather they should b fine. I researched the cuff and everything I read says most are bout the same. My friends wife is an LPN and she said bell is great but in my honest opinion I'm going with littman mainly bc 3M makes them and 3M is freaking awesome with about everything they make. The DPT program also has littman and my wife said they're fine. Well there u go guys all the info u need from someone who has 0 healthcare experience lol

I have no idea on how we are gonna do that and also, yeah, I'm definitely getting a Littmann. Hey, we don't need to set up an appointment with our old advisor do we?

I pretty positive we don't do anything with our old advisor nemore. The only thing would be if you needed some class that u were afraid would fill up before we meet with our new advisor or something crazy like that.

I am a transfer student from bgtc so I'm like completely in the dark and just waiting on our next communication email. Will we have an orientation day? & I'm not sure about green river prices compared to scrubs express I always shop at scrubs express or amazon.com. I have a prestige BP cuff and use it all the time.when giving heart meds at work and it's great. As far as my stethoscope I'm going to continue to use my prestige one until I graduate then I'm getting a littman master classic or master cardiology for graduation. Can we go ahead and get our scrubs??

I think we can go ahead and get the scrubs as long as they comply with the type described in our letter. And orientation is January 22 at one. It's on one of the pages in the email we received. And thanks for info on the Bp cuff. I'm going to get that one then.

This whole time yall have been talking about bsn I got into asn. I didn't even apply to bsn because i want to work as an RN while finishing my bsn and wku doesn't offer multiple exit points. I feel like a retard now. I knew this was about bsn when I first read it then it just slipped my mind.

Lol! Hey it happens! In the end we're all rns anyways, right?

I wonder why they sent you all more information then us. We didn't get a supply list, orientation date or anything just a letter explaining our paper to get notarized, that paper, and the actually accept or decline form.
