Florida BSN Pre Licenser Program Western Governors University (WGU)

Published

hello everyone... i was wondering if anyone has heard of western governors university (wgu) ? they are starting a bsn pre licenser program in florida for january 2011. its a great program so i hear and its not to expensive. i am appying for the january start, and they are still taking applications. it is a new program..in florida, however it has been running in other states for two years now. and this is a fully accredited program and school.

I'm in the Atlanta area. I was hoping the Florida school would be a little closer but I'm going to talk with the advisor from the school Wednesday to see what my options are. When does the first cohort start?

Ok cool. But word to the wise... They won't consider you for a program if you don't live in that area.

Does anyone know if they are still planning to start in Jan? I called and got scheduled to talk with an enrollment advisor, but not for a few days. Do you know if the program is self paced like their other programs??

Hi alanas09,

They are not certain as to whether or not the program will be starting in January because they do not have enough qualified students to start. Not a lot of people know about the program though :-( Im playing the waiting game because there are not enough students. She said that the program could start in Feb or March if not Jan because of the lack of students. and from what i understand you can work at your own pace however you cant do so with your clinical rotations and you must take the courses in order. I hope this helps :-)

Thank you so much. Do you know how long the program takes to complete?

Just wondering if there was any new information. This is an old thread and it is still listed as Florida being one of their sites.

Thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew.

Did this program actually ever get off the ground? I see that Florida is still listed on the WGU website. I would love to hear if there are actually any students enrolled!

Hey all!

I was wondering the same thing about the Fl site. I have talked to WGU and they have two sites in Fl one in Daytona Beach

and the other in St.Augustine, and i was told you would have to live within 50 miles of the site. I am trying to understand the enrollment process but otherwise it seems like a good program!

Hey there! I'm currently in the process of completing my pre Reqs online to then hopefully transfer into the program! I noticed this post is a few years old so I wanted to know how your experience was while in the program? (How long it took you/is there a way to complete the program before the full 5 terms, how were the clinicals and how they scheduled them.. etc) I would love to pick your brain, if you're willing. LOL! Also, I currently live in the Orlando area so I know getting to clinicals will be a commute!

Thanks for any help! -Robby
