   SoonerBredExpat replied to lindberg328's topic in Western Governors

   I found a new grad program right after obtaining my license, but the market for new grads is very competitive. Networking is the best way to get the position you really want.

3. Admissions priorities for WGU Pre-licensure

   SoonerBredExpat replied to lindberg328's topic in Western Governors

   Hi there. I graduated in March, 2017, and passed NCLEX the first time with 75 questions in about two hours. I felt prepared for the test. WGU provided Hurst Review as part of the prelicensure program, and I also purchased U-World after graduation....

4. WGU pre licensure

   SoonerBredExpat replied to Jesse1234's topic in Western Governors

   Donddon, take a look at WGU's website for the pre-requisites to the prelicensure nursing program. There is a very detailed list. They do have a very generous transfer policy in my opinion so if you have credits from another school, it's very helpfu...

5. WGU pre licensure

   SoonerBredExpat replied to Jesse1234's topic in Western Governors

   The shifts can be two in a row but usually not three. You must be very flexible and ready to work any days during the two or three week clinical rotation. I can't stress this enough. Not being available during this time frame causes nothing but fr...

6. WGU pre licensure

   SoonerBredExpat replied to Jesse1234's topic in Western Governors

   It's great that you can work somewhat part-time. However, your schedule will need to be flexible during clinical rotations (3 to 4 times per year) since you are assigned to one nurse/coach. You must work the hours that your coach is scheduled, and ...

   I am really glad to answer any questions. I had so many questions before I started pre-reqs and at WGU, and it was hard to find answers! I highly recommend this program and the cost is low compared to other schools. Feel free to ask anything (to a...

8. WGU pre licensure

   SoonerBredExpat replied to Jesse1234's topic in Western Governors

   Each six-month term has 3 to 5 courses. Some courses are taken in conjunction with clinicals and labs and others are book-based only. Each course has an Objective Assessment - like a final exam - that must be passed to progress. Usually we are stud...

9. Q's for prelicensure students/grads

   SoonerBredExpat replied to EmmReeCPT's topic in Western Governors

   Hi EmmRee, Congratulations on your acceptance! I think you will really like the program. I am in the Cedars-Sinai cohort and have about a year left. I love it so far. It's very intense and time-consuming, but I work full-time (40+ hours at a desk...

10. WGU pre licensure

    SoonerBredExpat replied to Jesse1234's topic in Western Governors

    Hi Jesse, I am currently in the Cedars-Sinai (LA) cohort and have about a year left in the program. I work full-time and have two teenagers. The curriculum is not difficult, per se, but it depends on what you mean by that, I think. I haven't been ...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SocBooKyraMartz's topic in Western Governors

    Hi Soc, Congratulations to you! I think you will really enjoy the program. Our cohort starts CASAL II lab this weekend. I remember boot camp last year and being so nervous. It's really a lot of fun - try not to stress out too much. Take a sphygm...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SocBooKyraMartz's topic in Western Governors

    Crossing my fingers for you as well! The skills labs are awesome and really a lot of fun if you have a good cohort. Our instructors are great and truly inspire us. There is usually plenty of time to practice in lab. What I find challenging is prep...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SocBooKyraMartz's topic in Western Governors

    Hi Soc, I know the feeling. The waiting is excruciating! I'm in the October, 2014 Cedars cohort. I submitted my file in February and my counselor told me we might not hear anything the middle of September. UGH. But she called me on August 7th wi...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to ShondaJ's topic in Western Governors

    Hi Tarenk, I highly recommend that you contact an enrollment counselor and reapply if you are really interested. I am in the Cedars cohort that started in October of 2014, and we have a student from Sacramento. She commutes down to LA for the labs ...
