mandala scrubs is where its at...inexpensive, comfortable/flexible and lots of color options....

So I graduated an ADN program in dec 2022 and became a legit RN 2/16/23. I told myself I would take a yr off from school before pursuing anything else. Well here we are its been an entire year... I'm currently a staff nurse at a local hospital on the MST floor...truth be told I am not a huge fan but its a job I guess... anyway, I got accepted to a RN to BSN with MSN option but the paper they sent says avg pay is like 74k, I make way more than that... so I am curious to know if the move from RN to BSN was a substantial increase in pay or no?

I'm far like Victorville and I have been applying since Feb cohort

Yes I'm worried as well, I blew off cal state sb because wgu was perfect for me to continue working... I am really regretting that decision. I am even looking at reeling it back and going private just to get it done. California is ridiculous.

So I just got the phone call... it's been postponed but they are hoping to get another one started before August

Nope I guess not...

Wow I haven't heard anything at all... and now I'm reading it's cancelled... maybe we chose the wrong school.... damn it!

Nothing yet the wait is killing me lol

Hey.. yes I have been involved in hospital care, home care post acute and sub acute care... I have an associates in Science/math which basically says I can transfer to a 4 year college. I see you are an emt that's awesome!!! Considering you have a bachelors have u looked into accelerated BSN programs? Azusa offers one but there might be others.... what is your bachelors in? I am thinking of retaking micro with straighterline to boost my gpa... unfortunately they won't consider human nutrition since it's a core class

EEK the second week of Feb that is next week right? I originally applied for Feb cohort but unfortunately didn't make it so I am applying for this cohort...otherwise it could be Aug. My Science GPA isn't as high as the avg... and my Teas score was an 84 and the cut off was a bit higher... my advisor sent these stats... our February cohort: Overall TEAS Average: 86.91% TEAS Reading Section Average: 91.56% Health Science GPA 3.60 Ugh!

Try emailing them again...my counselor is in/out of the office alot...but I email her again if I don't hear from her after 3 days... I can understand your frustration with the lack of phone calls though...especially if you have a set appointment.

I know that holding a degree, license, experience increases your chances of being chosen but I don't think its the only thing... Have you been in touch with an enrollment counselor? Where in Cali are you?

I think you will like it...the cost of living is so much cheaper....there is an awesome childrens museum and if the zoo is still around your lil one will love it. I wish I could move back.

Feb 2018 So Cal cohort..its Funny you got in the Houston Cohort...thats my home town lol well Dayton, TX off hwy 90

No I am still waiting to see if I got in...they started calling people yesterday though

Congratulations!!! You busted your hump to get where you are and you don't need anyone to toot your horn....BLAST IT YOURSELF!!! Go out and celebrate! Word to the wise: since your munchkin is so young....set up several back up sitters and definitly get family onboard if possible... A strong support system will make your life so much less hectic. Good luck in your journey :)

awesome!! Im really hoping I get in but my GPA is only a 3.3 right now...Im looking at a 3.5 at the end of this semester but whether that will be considered or not I have no idea... and my TEAS 84. This wait is killing me though...Did they send you an email as well? As of right now, I'm still labled under consideration in the portal!!!

yay congrats!! I am still waiting....if you dont mind sharing what were your stats? Gpa/TEAS/ first time applying? BSN prelicense? or LVN/RN to BSN ect Where in So Cal are you? Im in Victorville. Congratulations again!!!

Yes I would have to....I also applied to Cal State SB... Is megan your advisor? She said something about a clinical site closer than Orange county..but Clinicals wont be till the last 3-5 weeks of the program...

ummm Age is but a number...We desperately need great nursing/CNA instructors...

I am in Victorville (High desert) and yourself?

Hi I applied for the Feb 2018 cohort...I'm still waiting to hear back from WGU and this is my first time applying. My letter of intent basically said why I chose their program and how I came to the decision to go into nursing. How about yourself? I'm anxiously waiting on pins and needles....My advisor said early Dec.

That's what I thought too at the convalescence home I worked at we had about 16-20 at night. But surely it can't be as many considering we have to keep a watchful eye on them. I'm wondering if they told me this to test me? Like would I shy away from a heavy run? Am I a slacker? Gotta admit it would be a pretty big test lol

So I received my CNA cert in Aug 2014, worked at a convalescence home for approximately 7 months ( that place nearly broke me) and have been fortunate to work at a 6 bed congregate sub acute facility for the past 16 months. I recently took a job at a local hospital in the med/sug dept who is willing to work around my school schedule which starts in Feb. best of all its ft with benefits and it's day shift 12hr So I'm alittle nervous because during the interview they asked the whole do you have any questions and well I asked on a bad day how many patients is one CNA assigned they said on a good day 28 bad day could be as many as 40 😳. So ladies and gents give it to me straight what am I up against? lol I did take the acute care class with clinicals but it was really slow. I also don't remember the CNAs being slammed.

Yes DON said they can not though
