Ilargia99 LVN, RN

So I'm looking into WGU for my RN-BSN, but the application does not work, no matter if I use my desktop, MacBook, phone, etc. Is this a common problem? I can only get as far as the "Education Experience" page, then it just keeps loading back to it wh...

No program is without flaws, but I feel like this program is pretty good in comparison with many others I’ve heard about. A new program director (who is also one of our instructors) took over this cohort, and they have been making some changes that I...

Yes, Christie is awesome!

I am. Just a couple more months to go ☺️

Congrats! It will go by faster than you know!

The other score is the rubric score. That’s where you figure out your total points for Kaplan scores and prerequisites.

I found Smart Edition Academy’s online practice tests to be pretty helpful. I also heard the ACT study guide is great for the reading section. Good luck with your test!

Someone at your Agency would just have to sign a form stating that you’ve completed the hours through them.

I would definitely retake it since most programs require at *least* a C in all prerequisites to even apply. Aim for an A, though.

It really depends on the cohort but it is a competitive program. It never hurts to try, though. The next application period opens March 1st and goes through July 30th. Good luck!

I’m in northern CA and am currently making $40.65/hr. I have 3.5 years of experience. The pay for LVNs here is anywhere from $26-$45/hr depending on experience and if it’s a contract position or not. The average pay seems to be in the low-mid $30s. ...

I just got accepted to the RN bridge program at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. All the classes are online and you travel to Kansas for clinicals each semester. They let you do them in blocks since most people don’t live in the area. During t...

Crossing my fingers that a spot opens up for you!

Check your emails! I got my acceptance today. SO excited! ☺️

I hope you find something much better very soon!

Quite the opposite for me. Many people were nasty to me because I was “weird” and quiet (I’m on the spectrum). I learned to tune out most of their words after a while because I was too consumed by the overwhelming feelings of discomfort I was experie...

I’m sorry you’re going through that. It sounds like they are taking advantage of you because you’re new, while also keeping you from valuable/necessary orientation time that you are entitled to. Is this a place that you want to stay at or are you con...

Just take it one day at a time. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed at first but then it gets much better.

I took Chemistry at my local community college. I was really intimidated at first, but as I learned the formulas it became easier. I took micro through Pratt Community College.

Chemistry has a ton of math, but isn’t too difficult as long as you know the formulas for the equations. It’s very repetitive with all the calculations, though. Micro wasn’t very hard.

That’s great that you were accepted to Fairmont- They’re not accepting applicants from California otherwise I would apply. Still hoping we all get into Hutchinson ☺️

I’m hopeful that all of us will still get in. It’s a bit discouraging to know so many people applied, but you never know. What was your rubric score?

I love dimensional analysis. It came in quite handy when I took Chemistry because I already understood how to use it. It’s one of the simplest forms of math, imo. This is a great resource!

I know how you feel. I wish there were more options out there. It sucks that we don’t have anything local really.

I emailed the program secretary today and she informed me that they received 265 applications this year. I’m trying my best to stay hopeful, but that’s such a large number ?
