  1. RN to BSN or Accelerated BSN with Previous Bachelors Degree

    OliverElio87 replied to morriskatieanne's topic in General Students

    If you are already in a ASN program that leads to being a RN then there is no point in even considering the accelerated BSN. Once you get your RN license you should be looking at RN-BSN

  2. TEAS V in Bay Area

    OliverElio87 replied to ecaguilar7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would just take the Exam at a PSI test center. I did this and they offered the exam every week. So when you go to the ATI website, choose the option of "Register for the TEAS V with PSI". Basically...

  3. Online Nursing Study Tips: What Has Worked For Me

    OliverElio87 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    I was wondering if anyone who completed or currently in the prelicensure course share their study tips. I feel like, for me, if I do not do all the "busy work" I am hurting my chances of doing better...

  4. ADN American Career College vs. BSN West Coast University

    OliverElio87 replied to CloverGirl2015's topic in School, College Programs

    As much as I do not agree with the absurd amount WCU charges, they are regionally and programmatically accredited (CCNE). For any nursing program you want to have both types of accreditation so you do...

  6. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    OliverElio87 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    I saw this in the prellicensure program page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Western-Governors-University-Prelicensure-Graduates/170304496390584 More VERY exciting news about a couple of our...

  7. Want to pursue nursing in S. FL, have a BA but poor grades in undergrad. Need suggestions

    OliverElio87 replied to zmperez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi RNsRWe, Yea! WGU has a prelicensure program that is a hybrid. So you do your didactic/theory classes online, but clinicals, labs, and assessments are done in person (mostly on weekends). However,...

  8. Want to pursue nursing in S. FL, have a BA but poor grades in undergrad. Need suggestions

    OliverElio87 replied to zmperez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi zmperez, I would look into Western Governors University (WGU). It is a non-profit, private college. They have a BSN program, for non RN's, in California, Indiana, Texas, and Florida and it is...

  9. WGU Pre-Licensing BSN Cedar Sinai October 2015 cohort

    OliverElio87 replied to SocBooKyraMartz's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies. CA is indeed very competitive not just for school but also for work. So def. a big congratulations in being accepted =)! Knowing your stats wasn't for me...

  10. WGU Pre-Licensing BSN Cedar Sinai October 2015 cohort

    OliverElio87 replied to SocBooKyraMartz's topic in Western Governors University

    Congratulations to all those that were accepted! I am in the Indiana cohort, but I wanted to ask all of you who were accepted if you can give us your stats (GPA, TEAS, Healthcare experience). I know...

  11. WGU and Straighterline courses

    OliverElio87 replied to luna_moon's topic in Western Governors University

    I am doing the cohort in Indiana. Yes, I think that the more the program becomes known the competitiveness will just increase. The online ATI Pratice Exam was very helpful when I studied for the exam...

  12. WGU and Straighterline courses

    OliverElio87 replied to luna_moon's topic in Western Governors University

    Congratulations on passing US History! I am really enjoying the program. At first I was very confused because the format is very different from what I was used to, however, after the second week you...

  13. WGU and Straighterline courses

    OliverElio87 replied to luna_moon's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi luna_moon, I felt the same way about the proctoring in the beginning. However, you get use to it. I just made sure I made my environment as stress free as possible when taking exams. Also, WGU uses...

  14. WGU and Straighterline courses

    OliverElio87 replied to luna_moon's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi luna_moon, I did not take US History at Straighterline, but I did take Anatomy and Physiology II. I did not use the book that was suggested. Instead, I used online resources. I would imagine with...

  15. WGU Prelicensure Dallas, Texas

    OliverElio87 replied to DFWRNStudent's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi Julie, I cannot speak for the clinical portion because I am still in the pre-nursing semester. However, to answer your question about the classes your mentor actually coordinates a time frame when...

  16. Finished Biochemistry in less than a week!

    OliverElio87 replied to CLUVRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I just finished biochemistry also! This class is very unorthodox, even for an online class, no tests and mainly projects with questions. I would advise future students to purchase white sheets of...

    OliverElio87 replied to Megan32606's topic in Western Governors University

    I am in the Indiana Cohort. It is not as competitive as

  18. Prelicensure Nursing Students...what did you score on TEAS Exam?

    OliverElio87 replied to Megan32606's topic in Western Governors University

    I scored a 75% on the actual TEAS. If it makes you feel better, I scored a 60% (without studying) on the online ATI TEAS Practice exam. I also had a 3.8 science gpa. Which state are you applying

  19. WGU - off to a bad start

    OliverElio87 replied to MJB2010's topic in Western Governors University

    I had an amazing Enrollment Counselor for the pre-licensure program. I never had problems with this particular EC and he always took my schedule in consideration. Before I had my current EC, I had...

    OliverElio87 replied to LARNxo's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi Signwonder, majority of the clinicals are concentrated around a 2 week period, however there are also labs and assessments that will require you to be present. For example, the first term you are...

  21. When to Take the TEAS V at PSI

    OliverElio87 posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took the TEAS V at a PSI Center and I am very glad that I did. I recommend taking the TEAS V at a PSI center when you have a very unpredictable schedule or if you do not know if you will be prepared...

  22. Teas v

    OliverElio87 replied to Jlschneider1395's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I agree with mirandaaa about waiting. In the program that I applied they only allow you to take the TEAS twice in a year and some community colleges only accept the very first test you take. Maybe it...

  23. For those in/were in the Prelicensure Program

    OliverElio87 posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Hi I'm new to posting on the board, but not new to the site. I am confused on some things that I hope some of you can clarify. After the first term (pre-term), what is the schedule like the second...
