You can try seeing if local hospitals in your area have volunteering and if you can do that.

woohoo! Congrats. I'm almost done with an ADN program and am contemplating doing rn to bsn online. Do you recommend wgu why or why not? What did you like or dislike about the program? Do you have any tips or info for future students who are thinking ...

Ultimately you do want bsn. The question is do you have the expenses covered? Generally speaking if you complete ADN and then an rn to bsn program it will cost less. You can do a straight away bsn program at a 4 year university however that may be co...

congrats!

When you take the teas next time, you should take it when you feel comfortable and ready. And before taking the teas you need to have had good studying going into it. For the programs you are looking to apply to, check to see what their policy the is...

How many classes would you recommend someone new to wgu to take during the first term? Do all of the courses have papers to turn in? when you sign up for the courses are you allowed to add more courses as you complete them or do you have to do them ...

No you aren't. I knew a few people in my class who were older than you but regardless if you want to so this you can.

Did you also already take the required entrance exam that your program requires? If you already successfully passed that too then you can apply.

I'm sitting in the front row first seat in the entire classroom and people from the way back are making noises about something and the professor is talking about something. Once in a while someone would ask something and someone else would repeat ask...

And you'll hear something of a similar sort when you do start nursing school. I can remember the dean or someone saying that you'll start out with a class of x amount and then by so and so time we only have y amount left. definitely don't let things ...

Congrats on your acceptance! I was in your spot last summer and I'll tell you one year passed by so fast. Coming in I wasn't a superstar, but I can say I worked hard during my prereqs. I find myself still working hard and staying ontop of things. The...

Yes you can do this. You do sound busy but with the determined mentality and good work ethics you should be able to do this. Definitely study and ready everyday.

Yeah I did noticed something similar too. Right around the corner days before the final exam something random rallies up by someone in class by sending an online message in the cohort group page and because of that people are making noises. Seriously...

Sounds like you gave yourself some thought about it. You should go for what you desire not what your mom or dad wants because you're living your dreams not theirs. if you're quite serious perhaps volunteering at a hospital will help solidify and conf...

You would want to check the programs you are interested in applying and see what requirements they have. I know some programs can be a little different,as in my area some didn't need you to be a CNA but in one program it required it. Associate degree...

Absolutely agree with the going through as much NCLEX questions.

is wgu a for profit insitutition? How many times do you have to complete the practicum? how many courses did you take a semester and were you working while doing that? thank you

Congratulations :) how early did you start buying NCLEX prep books? How long since graduation do you plan on studying for the NCLEX?

I'm not really familiar with those schools. You can complete an adn program and then an adn to BSN program you could also apply directly to a BSN program after finishing nursing prereq courses. If you're interested you can check to see if any local c...

Ahaha true. I once had a student success advisor tell us to leave our erasers at home since the first pick is the right one. There are very rare instances where I did change an incorrect pick to the correct second pick. Something I learned along the ...

Nice! That will keep you busy for a bit. Yes, I just finished the 1st year and currently awaiting the 2nd one

I don't know where you are located but in my area, I haven't seen a program that requires you to be an LVN to apply unless you are an lvn and want to do lvn to RN. I have seen a few programs that do require applicants be a CNA in order to apply to th...

Ahoy there mate! Congrats on your acceptance. if you really want to do something before starting I may suggest doing a review of all body systems

Oh! I know a good majority of my classmates are married some with and without kids and they are doing fine. It will work knowing that you have someone who is supportive and understanding, and family too that can help watch the kids. What a commute, t...

If your program is like mines, you get only 1 retake. I hope that you take this time to reflect on what you can do to improve. Don't see this as a setback although your graduation is postponed by one year, see this as a learning growth. Do you own a ...
