  1. WGU Indianapolis Prelicensure

    tsm007 replied to ScooterGrlKay's topic in Western Governors University

    I'd apply. I think you'll get in. I'm in the Indiana program. As for when, that I'm not sure about. It won't be that long. Usually a new cohort starts every 2-3 months. I'd just call and see when the...

  2. Prelicensure BSN program

    tsm007 replied to LONDA17's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes, the simulations are very challenging! They definitely require you to use critical

  3. Prelicensure BSN program

    tsm007 replied to LONDA17's topic in Western Governors University

    The didactic is the theory part, not the clinical work. (In other words the class with written tests.) I'd say about 50% of the original class is about right. Please keep in mind that you can retake...

  4. Prelicensure BSN program

    tsm007 replied to LONDA17's topic in Western Governors University

    It's all pass or fail. To be honest I haven't seen anyone not make it into the clinical portion in any of the cohorts in my location. I have no idea what you would have to do to not make it in. Hope...

  5. Prelicensure BSN program

    tsm007 replied to LONDA17's topic in Western Governors University

    There has been a couple program changes since I started (and they do seem to change the program rather frequently so always double check things). Anyway, the first 6 months do not have clinicals. Then...

  6. SC injection sites with ascites

    tsm007 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I took care of a pt last night who had ascites and needed 2 SC injections. I gave both in the back of his arm because it just didn't seem like the meds would be really going into SC tissue in the...

  7. Prelicensure BSN program

    tsm007 replied to LONDA17's topic in Western Governors University

    What made me go to WGU is I have a large family. There is no way I could make a traditional program work. I wanted to be a nurse forever and I knew I could make this work because I could do most of my...

  8. Prelicensure BSN program

    tsm007 replied to LONDA17's topic in Western Governors University

    Limited lab time - I mean you have weekend bootcamps. Usually each new set of skills you learn over 2 weekends and test on the 3rd. You do have lab instructors and instruction, but really you need to...

  10. Prelicensure BSN program

    tsm007 replied to LONDA17's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm in the prelicensure program and very close to graduation! I love WGU's program. I also have been in a traditional program in the past, but did not complete it. (I withdrew in good standing because...

  11. Can someone check my math?

    tsm007 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Here's the problem. No matter how I do it I come up with 83 minutes, but the answer keeps getting marked wrong. I am not usually weak at math, but I do not want to assume the questions is wrong. A...

  12. Can someone check my math?

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It said round to the nearest whole number. I looked and they have a mistake on the rationale. I didn't catch it because the rationale was in dimensional analysis. It's totally missing a step. Thanks...

  13. WGU PRE-REQUISITES

    tsm007 replied to stepbystep12's topic in Western Governors University

    They take CLEP tests for the prelicensure program, can't say for sure about the RN to BSN. I would imagine they would though. I took a CLEP test for humanities, human growth & development, and...

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, it said to round. Sorry didn't include

  15. Which state for initial license?

    tsm007 posted a topic in General Students

    Looking for some feedback. I live in one state, but go to school in a bordering state because their program was just a better fit for me. I live close to the border so working out of state is...

  16. Which state for initial license?

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the info, going to see what I can figure out. No they are not compact states. Going to see what I can find out about a temporary

  17. Clinical instructor that will not teach?

    tsm007 replied to MAJ_15's topic in General Students

    To be honest I pick my battles wisely in nursing school. I, personally, would let it go and continue to seek out learning opportunities every place I can. I had a bad preceptor once and I worked right...

  19. Nursing mission statement

    tsm007 replied to Cjhays's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Although this is a little lame, I used it to help me write my mission statement. Example Mission Statement - Learn to create your own mission statement It got me off to a start and then I revised the...

  20. Certificates, CE, training classes to up my chances of a job?

    tsm007 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am getting close to graduation and just asked for L&D for my role transition course. That I know of I am the only student to request it so I think my chances are good to get it. Anyhow, I am...

  23. Taking NCLEX in MI, attended school out of state?

    tsm007 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am so confused on what to do with registering for NCLEX. My school is giving instructions about needing to register early for NCLEX. I can't tell from the state's website if I can register for NCLEX...

  25. Exam question - Heparin Side Effects

    tsm007 replied to luv2run851's topic in General Students

    You know I have to be honest I have gotten better at answering these questions because I've stopped over thinking them. If I was at home and had a nasty side effect from a medication what would *I* do...
