hi itsinmy since most didactics are online (tuition includes online access to books) they give us tons of workload, i had classmates which are LVN's and the program is 2 1/2 yrs now (it was only 2 yrs before) tuition is cheap i think less than 25k? you get a BSN at the end...They also have a high NCLEX passing rate...labs are done north side (L.A. part) and we had our clinicals at Huntington Memorial Hospital (great clinical instructors and RN coaches) other cohort goes to Cedars Sinai and some at Fountain Valley (all up north)..there were only 10 of us in our cohort so lots of hands-on practice during labs (max. 2 students per sim man)..simulation exams for each student per course were nerve wrecking but until now, i remember the process of each nursing skill LoL...they made us order lab kits (i.v. bags, gloves, needles, etc.) so we can practice at home. :-)

hi NurseMorse i was a former WGU student but driving 2hrs or more most times took a toll in my health....love the program though but too far from me...now i'm trying to get back here in SD area and just endure the waiting game again :-) thanks for your encouragement i really appreciate it. Good luck! :-)

hello! thank you very much for the replies, i will contact my advisor tomorrow..thanks again :-)

i did but my score was low and they want me to retake it but i have no time anymore since the deadline is on Mon. :-(

hello how do i schedule a TEAS exam at National? thanks!

Hi NurseMorse, may I ask what score did you get for the KTP exam? thanks! =)

i'm a current prelicensure student and 6 months additional is ok for my entire cohort, it's still affordable compared to other BSN schools that will cost $40-70K. Schools will always change based on what the earlier students' progresses are. The prelicensure being 2 yrs or 2 1/2 yrs is really intense. Me and my cohort mates share episodes of crying sometimes but we strive to make it work. :-)

not all nurses are like you though

oops that was a bit offensive. this is a forum for casual communications not a taskstream essay but thank you for the info. i appreciate it.

thanks for sharing Danish :-)

hexum944 where did you guys bought the patch?

my science gpa was 3.4 and my teas was only 75, my cohort started last March and i'll have my clinical interview tomorrow. Our clinical will start on Sept. and i'm currently finishing with Pharmacology. So far i like it, yeah it can be disorganised sometimes on clinical schedules but that's normal. It's actually not the school's fault at times 'coz they can't do anything if the hospital suddenly turns them down and the clock is ticking (based on my experience from a diff. nursing prog.) as long as the school pushes through, we should be alright.

I just checked CCNE's site right now and yeah, they're listed.

A counselor interviewed me today and talked about the program. WGU change the nursing program to 2 1/2 years...the first 6 months will all be didactics, but we need to go to a mandatory clinical bootcamp for 2 weekends w/c will all be CNA clinical skills, after that they will test us. Then after 6 months, it's mostly gonna be clinical for the rest of the 2 years. I feel excited but I might change my job to part time or perdiem after 6 months. =)

WGU-Director, Any plans in the future to start a physician assistant program? How about being affiliated with SigmaThetaTau Honor Society of Nursing? Thanx for your previous post
