1. Enrollment Counselor not responding

   Gangsteroids replied to Clear Gummy Bear's topic in Western Governors

   I would email and double check that he has your phone number in the system correctly, and if he misses another scheduled meeting definitely call the school and ask to speak with the enrollment counselor manager for nursing. Good luck!

2. Pre-Licensure BSN

   Gangsteroids replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Western Governors

   I can answer the pregnancy one! Because I'm now pregnant and will be withdrawing, just finishing up my first term at the end of December. I was told that with how our cohorts in the Dallas area are spaced that I could take 5 months off to join the ...

   Gangsteroids replied to 42pines's topic in Western Governors

   So, the course you're talking about lasts between two and four weeks (you get to choose your cohort and days and times that they have available, and there are a LOT of choices- some meet two times a week, some meet on weekends, some meet several time...

4. Federal audit: Utah-based Western Governors University should repay more than $700 million

   Gangsteroids replied to HansenRN's topic in Western Governors

   You literally cannot fail unless you don't pass a course before the end of your term? It's not that difficult to manage your time and reach out to instructors to help you pass these courses. And yes, I mean Biochem and stats.

   I'm in the nursing prelicensure program at WGU and this is what they do too. Ours is set up with fundamentals as a class in the pre nursing term called intro to nursing, and then in the first clinical term we have classes called CASAL I and II. Eve...

   Gangsteroids replied to wiseS16's topic in Western Governors

   Hey y'all! How is your term going? Two months down! Where are you at in your degree plan? I was set back about two weeks in August from being sick with strep an tonsillitis that didn't respond to the first round of antibiotics and a mystery virus...

8. U.K. Registered midwife in Tennessee.

   Gangsteroids replied to Darsilameh's topic in General Students

   I'm not sure about TN or the specific area you are in but in Dallas, TX (where I'm located) and the surrounding area there are several groups where midwives and doulas work together and share clients. They're usually CPMs and are typically very busy...

9. Accelerated Program. Is it worth it?

   Gangsteroids replied to Strader612's topic in General Students

   If you're worried about the financial impact I wouldn't go with an accelerated program. It will be difficult to juggle family, work, and school unless you have family members that can take care of everything at home. Also, I see Rekt mentioned ABSN/...

10. Biochem online

    Gangsteroids replied to dbfitch's topic in Western Governors

    I'm taking WGU's biochemistry right now and it's really not that bad! It's a little dense but I've finished all but one module in two weeks with about 10 hours of study per week, have about 5 hours more for study and pre-test and I'll be ready for t...

11. I think I rather go to nursing school instead of medical school.

    Gangsteroids replied to dlhonorio's topic in Pre-Nursing

    OP, I totally understand what you're going through right now. If I had my way five years ago, I would be getting my MD right now. I really wanted to be a doctor when I was younger too. It seems like you definitely have a good sense of the differen...

12. Best way to learn about cells

    Gangsteroids replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Totally agree with drawing stuff. Even if you're not into drawing, if you're a kinetic and visual learner you'll remember what you draw a few times! Get some colored pencils and make a few cell drawings with labels. Make them as detailed as you ne...

13. Best way to memorize anatomy and physiology terms

    Gangsteroids replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I post this every time I see a question about how to study for AP... I learned the most from doing practice sheets over and over. You know those pictures with the blanks that you have to fill in the terms on? Put it in a page protector, get yoursel...

14. Week 1 and already drowing

    Gangsteroids replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You can definitely use a notebook and maybe just pull out the note pages but I found using loose leaf and a binder way easier to organize my notes into study packets (I used some of those binder dividers with the pockets but not really necessary, jus...

15. Week 1 and already drowing

    Gangsteroids replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My easy memorization tip: If you have a blank practice form for labeling anatomical terms, copy it or put it in a page protector and write with a dry erase marker and practice the crap out of it this weekend. I would do it 10-15 times so you know yo...
