Anyone Attending Western Governors University Pre-licensure Nursing on Oct 2011?

Published

Hi everyone, is there anyone planning on attending the cohort on Oct 2011?

thanks

"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 them, but wgu provides you with all the information on how to buy them. you buy the patches and name tag(s) from the same place online. i know the scrubs you are required to by are from dove apparel, and that might also be where the patches and name tags come from. i bought the minimum required clothing and it was like $160 including the patches and tag. once your receive all of the gear you take it to a tailor have the clothing hemmed and the patches put on.

oops that was a bit offensive. this is a forum for casual communications not a taskstream essay but thank you for the info. i appreciate it.

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

Specializes in Dialysis.

Hey I am new to this and wasn't really sure how to message you a personal message. I am planning on going to western governers and starting the rest of my prerequisites in September. I was thinking about going through straighterline. Did you go through them to take A&P 1? Also I'm trying to figure out what math classes I need to take. It was not very clear to me on the website. If you could give me some feedback that would be great!

I just finished all the pre-requirements and passed the teas.

Has anyone gotten optimistic reviews about enrolling from one of the enrollment counselors?

I am an employee at CSMC where WGU holds cohorts at and hope this will help in getting in.

I am currently applying to wgu for their nursing program. I took my pre-reqs at United States University (USU) I know it sounds like a hoax type school, but I did my research and they are WASC accredited! So I could care less what the name of the school is. I completed all of my pre-reqs in about a year. This school has two campuses one it San Diego and one in Cypress. I like the fact that people really don't know about this school because my class size for most of my science classes averaged 8 people. Classes are 8 weeks long too. Oh and the best part they are only $250 per unit which is way cheaper than other universities and with no wait time better than the community college. Back to wgu...my experience so far is great. My admission adviser lets me know exactly what classes I needed. I forgot to say when I was done with about more than half my pre-reqs I had wgu look at my transcripts and they all transferred over. So now I need to take my teas test and then apply in the beginning of next year. I am pretty confident I will get in.

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, do not push too hard. Your knuckles will turn white and the assessor can tell by this indication that you are pressing too hard. The hardest most difficult assessor quit, probably from all the student complaints, so it should be easy compared to what most other students went through. Always make sure the side rails are up if you are away from bed. Always raise the bed to a comfortable height and lower it before you are done. Verbalize everything you do.
