1. New Grad Dilemma

   CARN2018 replied to CARN2018's topic in NP Students

   Hey guys! Thanks for the advice and words of encouragement. I received offers after both interviews and went with my gut and chose the NICU position. It's a level III NICU so I think it will be a great learning experience, regardless of where I head ...

2. New Grad Dilemma

   CARN2018 replied to CARN2018's topic in NP Students

   I totally realize these are preemptive questions. I understand that I would be EXTREMELY lucky to have both options on the table simultaneously. I was simply asking for some thoughts/opinions and in no way trying to offend anyone.

   Hey everyone! I am a recent RN-BSN grad who passed the NCLEX in February. Currently, I am struggling with some choices that will be coming up soon regarding my first job as a new grad. I have two interviews scheduled, one for acute care night shift ...

   CARN2018 posted a topic in General Students

   Hey guys! There doesn't seem to be a thread yet for the UCD new grad program (application opened today) so I thought I would start it. I filled out the application today and it seemed very basic in terms of new grad apps (no place to request certain ...

7. Western Governors University Pre-Licensure Program

   CARN2018 replied to CARN2018's topic in Western Governors

   CaRT2RN, I think you can totally manage WGU. Many of my cohort members have children and even work full time, so I think you could manage with the per diem position. I work a per diem position as well and it is entirely manageable. The clinicals do n...

8. Western Governors University Pre-Licensure Program

   CARN2018 replied to CARN2018's topic in Western Governors

   I know the struggle you are going through right now. Everyone in my cohort was very stressed out about the possibility of not moving on in the program. My advice is to make sure that you make on time progress with all the courses. I believe I finishe...

9. Western Governors University Pre-Licensure Program

   CARN2018 replied to CARN2018's topic in Western Governors

   It's really hard to summarize all the pros and cons of the program, but i'll give you my condensed version. :) Pros: Flexibility. I would say this is one of the major draws students have to WGU. The program really gives students an opportunity to co...

11. Western Governors University Pre-Licensure Program

    CARN2018 replied to CARN2018's topic in Western Governors

    Hey there! So for me the process was pretty easy and straightforward. If you are asking about how competitive the program is, I believe it is fairly hard to get into the California programs, just because space is so limited. My cohort only has 12 stu...

    CARN2018 posted a topic in Western Governors

    Hey everyone! I am currently in the second semester (currently in CASAL II) of WGU's pre-licensure BSN program in California. I wanted to start this post so that we could hear from some students who have completed the pre-licensure program and are cu...

13. WGU Pre-licensing BSN for 2015

    CARN2018 replied to ShondaJ's topic in Western Governors

    Hey guys! I was accepted into the July 1st OC cohort in California. So far I really like the experience at WGU. I received a B.S. previously at Cal Poly SLO and while that experience was amazing, four years was enough time spent at a brick and mortar...

    UC Davis in Sacramento has a new grad program. Pay is very competitive (~48/hour) during the residency and the UC Davis system is fantastic.
