  1. Application Issues

    Ilargia99 posted a topic in Western Governors University

    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...

    Ilargia99 replied to keykey0890's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

    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

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

    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

  11. LPN Pay?

    Ilargia99 replied to LostinTheSauce's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

    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...

  16. Were you a bully in high school?

    Ilargia99 replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  17. New LVN grad, any advise?

    Ilargia99 replied to Lexi1020's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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....

    Ilargia99 replied to Kimberly619's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    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

    Ilargia99 replied to bjwojcik's topic in General Students

    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
