I’m finishing up term two! You go through the first 6 months before really knowing your clinical schedules, things about uniforms and labs ect. This information really isn’t talked about in depth until you start term 2! During your first lab you can wear whatever scrubs you have or if you don’t have any just buy really cheap ones! You won’t be sent an email with a link to buy your school scrubs until your in term 2. As far as clinicals and labs go everyone’s sample schedule is different because we all start at various times throughout the year and in different locations. You are completely at the hospitals mercy when it comes to clinicals. You are assigned a nurse to follow and you are on their specific schedule so if that nurse works weekend days nights spread out shifts back to back shift that’s what you will work! Wgu can not work around each students personal schedules and neither will the partner hospitals so you are expected to be there for labs and clinicals whenever their schedules even if given the schedule a day before. Most people use their vacation and pto for clinicals. Go follow the Facebook page above also I have an insta and YouTube videos that can help answer any questions you may have feel free to follow!

Wow that's crazy! With that new teas score I'm sure you could apply to a regular program and get in! That's a great score it's crazy that California is so competitive Texas is somewhat competitive but we have so many clinical cohorts it's crazy and new ones are being added I swear it feels like every few months

I didn't have any healthcare experience but I had my bachelors degree maybe that's what helped me? Some more advice would be really good recommendation letters, resume, and letter of intent. Like (JD2RN) said California is competitive and I have heard that they are now giving preference to the workers st the clinical site. I do know 2 people that still applied and kept applying one got into the cohort her second time applying and I think the other girl got in after a year... don't give up hope but make sure your grades and teas score are great if applying there other options would be to relocate to another state some people have done that but that's a lot I give them props!

Hey! What would you like to know? Ask away lol

Hey! Yes California is competitive! Try to have at least high 80's and 90's on your teas. Great question so many people are scared about not getting into second term. I just did my two interviews for second term. Pretty much how it works is they want to see who can actually do the online learning, stick to their mentor phone calls, and do all their requirements with ease. There are about 12-13 spots available per cohort and sometimes they will accept about 14-15 students for the pre-nursing part. Which means 2 would not make it in... now there have not been many people to "not make it in". From what they've told us as long as you finish you courses for the term at a good pace meaning don't take the whole 6 months to do 2 classesí ½í¸‚ and your keep your phone calls weekly with you mentor and you do all of your ABD requirements you will progress! Sometimes they take more students then spits availabke bc life happens and sometimes students will find they don't like online or can't do it and will fail out or get prego or family emergencies and have to not progress. Happens in almost every cohort. They'd rather you fail out of the pre-nursing part then the clinical part. Does that make sense? Now if all 14 do what they are suppose to everyone is a great candidate they will take the 12 that finished their classes first and then the others will be placed in other cohorts for clinicals so I've been told but that hadn't happened a lot. Normally it works out I where there are 12 spots and 12 people or less to fill them.

Sounds great what would you like to knowí ½í¸‚!

Hello, i am in the WGU prelicensure program in dallas Texas. All the programs are pretty much alike for the most part and I'm excited to be apart of this school and embarking on my bsn journey. I started February first and will be starting my second term in August! I just want to help others that were like me when deciding to go to this school. I researched everything about this program for 6-8 months before applying and never got any real answers from people in the programs. I want to change that! I want to be the wgu person you can ask any questions about anything your interested in or concerned about involoving this school and I will do my best to anwser them:)! I have started an Instagram page for people who want to follow my journey and see tips and information as I move along in the program. It's called wgu_future_rn Thank y'all :)

Hey everyone sorry for responding so late I've been super busy! So I started the dallas cohort February 1st I finished my first term June 23rd even though it's not done until July 31st so I'm enjoying my 4 week break. I just did my two interviews for second term today! I feel it went great excited to get started! I'm so excited all of you got accepted if you have any questions ask away:)

Hi! So I start the program feb 1st in dallas. I got into the Houston cohort before the dallas one with stats of 3.5 science gpa 3.6 overall gpa and 78 on my teas y'all should be fine. I wanted to extend an invite to a Facebook group I joined. They have been nothing but helpful and will anwser any of your questions about the program. We have people in there who are finishing, alying and just starting. We even have a good number of Houston students that can help with your questions. Here's the link. Log into Facebook | Facebook Also I have an Instagram page where you can follow my journey and ask questions about anything clinicals, application ect.. it's wgu_future_rn Look forward to getting to know y'all and answering any questions

Hi I'm in the dallas area I start the program feb 1st! The acceptance is not as competitive as you think. It was quick for me to get into a cohort and then clinicals is a separate application 4 months into your first 6 month term... don't let this scare you I've pretty much been told that If you do the work ect you will be fine! Any questions ask away

I'm in the feb 1st dallas cohort! My stats for Texas were a 3.6 GPA, ATI TEAS 78% previous bachelors degree in psychology We should connect it would be nice to know more people doing the same program! Follow me at wgu_future_rn on insta

Congrats I'm so Happy for you! I'm in the same boat no one understands the accomplishment or excitement yes it's an online program but it's still hard to get into and we're gonna be busting our butts to pass our classes and the nclex. I just got accepted into the feb 1st dallas cohort! I'm beyond excited. I know we're not close but I want to move back to Houston when I graduate so maybe in 2 years we will be working at the same hospital lol! I have a nursing blog on insta that you can follow we can help each other and encourage on another through the program! Since it's all online it's harder to connect with others! It's wgu_future_rn!

I'm in the feb 1st cohort in dallas! I can't wait to get started either! Maybe we will run into each other one day! I have a blog on instagram if y'all want to follow it's called wgu_future_rn. I'm also thinking about making a group on Facebook for the dallas area so we can all help on another and ask questions or study together ect since everything is online!

I'm trying to get into the November start! I just got all my paper work in. Just waiting on one more transcript and then they will evaluate it!

Ok thank you! Are you apart of WGU program? If so how do you like it so far?!
