Hello! Just ran across your post... I'm actually applying to the prelicensure program in California for January 2011 start. It sounds like a fantastic program!! I'm REALLY hoping I get in. Good luck to you too!! Hopefully we'll both be WGU Alum one day! =D

Thank you!! What made you decide to apply to Florida? I kind of wish I could go somewhere out of state for nursing (a change of scenery would be nice!), but I have two kids, a husband, and a house... kind of hard to move. ;) I'm not a nurse, but I do have a BS degree in a health related field. What about you? Are you currently a nurse?

Well im from Florida and may be moving back in January. I dont have kids yet but I do have a husband lol. No im not a nurse yet but i will be ;-). I was in Nursing school in Florida before I moved to Cali (military) but I got married and we didnt wat to be apart so I dropped nursing school thinking that entering a nursing school in SoCal would be easy... Boy was I wrong.

Hello.... The Florida program will be in the Daytona area. Have you finished your Pre-Reqs?

Thanks for the info. I was thinking that since I'm in Georgia and have a flexible schedule I could apply to the Florida program. I have only completed the Anatomomy classes and am working on the Chemistry and Microbiology for next year. Have you taken any of your prereqs with them?

No Problem... What part of Georgia are you in? My husband and I are from FL but may be moving to Georgia. I have all of my Pre Reqs done except Bio Chem, they told me that I can take it with my other courses. They only have a few student as of right now though, I was told that 8 students would be ideal to start the 1st Cohort in FL.
