I'm sorry to hear about your not passing the NCLEX on the first try. Please don't let that discourage you from annihilating it on your 2nd and last try! You can do it! I graduated with my BSN on June 26, 2017, from WGU and took my NCLEX July 13, 2017...

I'm not sure. It's on my way to work so I'll see if I can stop by and find out tmrw.

First two weeks of orientation are done. And they've been crazy. Every day I've been at work, there has been at least 2 cpr cases. It really gets your adrenaline rushing and I'm enjoying what I do in the ER.

Hello All, I have finished all of my skills modules also ahead of schedule and look forward to seeing what's going to go on Saturday. I just don't like that El Centro is located downtown and I have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for parking. Tha...

I finished the Hospital Clinical Orientation yesterday, and now I'm on my 4 weeks of Department orientation with an experienced PCT and/or RN. It's been an awesome journey so far and I'm excited to gain this new knowledge and experience.

From what I have been told, making it to the Nursing Clinical portion of the program is contingent of you passing the Skills Boot Camp, Passing the Pre-Nursing Curriculum, Letters of Recommendations, and Interview with the State Director. *Please cor...

Hi All, I just want to know what I need to do to get a job as an ER Tech in DFW. I have applied to so many positions and have had one telephone interview but no job. I am very familiar with the Emergency Department. I have volunteered in an Adult Lev...

You're more than welcome to post. I'm not really sure where you're from but down here in Texas, ER Techs start out at around $10-$14 depending on experience and hospital you're working for. I just started the job and attended general hospital orient...

Welcome Dedrid! I just had my follow-up phone call with my Mentor at WGU. We went over the degree plan and expectations of the program. I found out that we now have 13 students in this Cohort down 1 from 14. For the clinical portion, Dallas will have...

I'm sorry if I confused anyone. Esme12, this is regarding my job I got. I finally got to meet my boss, the ED manager yesterday. I have clinical orientation scheduled with the education department at work. For the job I was interviewed by HR and the ...

I had General Hospital Orientation today and it went well. I finally got to meet my immediate supervisor, the manager of the ED. I already have clinical orientation scheduled this week and department orientation next week. I'll keep everyone posted a...

I hope the skills test is an hour. It didn't sound like it was going to be that short. Clinical sites in Frisco? No one asked me about that. -Happy Holidays everyone.

To my understanding, LakePointe in Rowlett will be a clinical site and maybe Doctors Hospital? I'm not too sure about DH though. I heard the OHN talk about WGU students going there for clinicals also.

I spoke to my mentor earlier today. We did some introductions, she gave me a pdf handbook of the skills we are being tested over for boot camp (a checklist of skills they are looking for), and we have scheduled a degree plan telephone conversation fo...

I am talking to my Mentor tomorrow afternoon. Best of luck to you and I hope it gets processed quickly.

I have a meeting with HR tomorrow. I have already completed all of my pre hire paperwork online. What can I expect from HR tomorrow?

I got an email from my Mentor! Earlier than I expected. She practically wrote an essay with lots of information for me to absorb. *Has anyone else heard from their mentor?

I can answer this. I took both ACLS and PALS. *Sorry if I sound a little too excited. I took it using AHA ACLS HeartCode online. You can start and stop as often as you need to. I completed my course during the second half of my 12 hour shift (started...

Hi there, I can give you some insight into hospital volunteering. I volunteered at both an adult hospital and a pediatric hospital during high school and college. Both in their ED. In the adult, I was more hands on and was able to interact with the p...
