    No, no, go back to the arm flailing and the squealing! I didn't mean to scare you, sorry! We just have to do our

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    Thanks for the tips, Geek. I will start walking and also some yoga. I was surprised to learn from my enrollment counselor that only 10 out of 12 students proceed into the nursing program. I...

    Hey Valens - maybe we'll see you at boot camp! Yes, it is odd they don't allow clogs when a lot of people wear them. Maybe some of the other clinical sites don't allow them so they have to be...

    I did some digging. From the WGU Student Handbook, Prelicensure BSN Program Additional Policies: "Footwear: Shoes should be white, clean, closed-toe, with non-skid soles and of non-porous...

    Cool, thanks for sharing that. I have my intake today and admissions call tomorrow. I'm starved for information and I want to start NOW! It'd be great to do the orientation

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm very much looking forward to that as well, grrl. I'll likely have the dubious distinction of being the oldest, at almost 49! See you in

    Thanks, grrl! Obviously I knew nothing about iTouch! The app is $300? Ouch...guess I'll be asking for cash for my birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, for the next 2 1/2 years. I have some lovely...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    Update: I just researched the iTouch a bit (Google is my friend.) It's being used in clinical settings quite a lot. WGU's website says an iTouch or a handheld device compatible with Nursing Central...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    Well, this is what I know/think: I read in an ancient post (2011?) that we have to buy scrubs from Dove and they are a specific color and must be embroidered with the logo, etc. Best to wait for...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    Me too! I've been waiting months for someone to start a thread. I gave up and started my own. When do we meet for the two-day boot camp, do you suppose? Where we learn and then get tested on our...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    Yeah, I'm quite proud of my 92.7% and it's crazy that you have the same number! I agree, the healthcare experience is a big plus that my counselor really pushed me on, and I am so glad I took her...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    Ms. Geek, yes, you figured me out. Wondabird, my TEAS was 92.7, GPA 3.7, I have a bachelor's degree from 24 years ago, I am a CNA, and I volunteer in a hospital ED. Hope this helps. Best of luck...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    Nice, you already had your intake assessment! Mine isn't until next week. It *is* interesting that three of us are here already. Hopefully we'll hear from more. I can't wait to hear your story! I...

    lildiptalia, I'm sending all my positive thoughts your way for your acceptance to the OC cohort. At least we found out earlier than expected - I got the news today as well - I was accepted to the...

  21. Please share your "calling"

    SoonerBredExpat replied to Krzysztof's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not even in nursing school yet but I know without a doubt that I want to be a nurse. I've had the privilege of being cared for by some of the most amazing nurses, women and men who have...

    SoonerBredExpat replied to SoonerBredExpat's topic in Western Governors University

    That's the idea, lil! You'll be in great shape when October finally arrives. My counselor quite firmly told me not to expect any news until the first week of September, and that there are a lot of...

    I too submitted my packet and I'm waiting to hear about acceptance. The waiting IS hard and I am counting the days! I've read last year's thread and it looks like the list was out around the end of...
