   ahs2015 replied to tishalu's topic in Western Governors

   You can be accepted to WGU's BSN prelicensure program if you are not in a state where Clinicals are conducted; however, you must be willing to travel to the clinical sites at the designated time. They may ask your plan for the clinical times (I.E. Wi...

   Congratulations!

4. Preparing for the TEAS V

   ahs2015 replied to ShaygarLPN2016's topic in TEAS

   I took the TEAS V in August and it was much more difficult than I expected. I studied with the ATI study guide for about 6 weeks. I took one of the practice tests to identify the areas I needed to focus on then studied those areas the most. I also fo...

5. Is this a bad grade?

   ahs2015 replied to Tinkk's topic in TEAS

   My personal opinion is that the TEAS is a difficult test. I studied for about six weeks before I took the test and thought I did horrible. I ended up making an 83. I think the national average TEAS score is in the high 60's. Acceptance just depends o...

6. WGU Not Passed

   ahs2015 replied to Jsamps's topic in General Students

   I'm sorry to hear that they weren't more flexible. Are you in the RN-BSN program or the BSN Prelicensure program? I've heard good things about UTA so hopefully that will provide a better academic path for you.

7. WGU Not Passed

   ahs2015 replied to Jsamps's topic in General Students

   Can I ask why you had a bad experience at WGU? I'm looking into the school and am curious about your experience. My thoughts that a class showing "not passed" will not transfer but I would confirm that with UTA.

8. Why Am I so confused!!

   ahs2015 replied to TiaRenee's topic in General Nursing

   The first thing you need to do is get a nursing degree. You can get an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), however, many hospitals in TX are aiming for 80% of their nursing staff to have a BSN by 2020. Decide ...

9. CRNA and patient death

   ahs2015 replied to heatherisbetter's topic in CRNA

   How common are other anesthesia related injuries that do not result in death? For example, I'm wondering if it's somewhat common to have a patient experience paralysis from an epidural. That's just one example.

11. Working From Home?

    ahs2015 replied to DouglasC's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, your comment was incredibly rude and uncalled for. If you have no advice to offer or cannot answer the OP's question then there's no need to comment. OP, I have heard many of the larger insurance companies will hire nurses to work from home as ...

13. Wearing skirts as a nurse

    ahs2015 replied to purplescrubs15's topic in Uniform/Gear

    My father is similar to your parents in his very strict, conservative, Christian views of clothing and a variety of other things. I was allowed to wear pants growing up so my situation is not exactly the same as yours, but I was not allowed to wear t...

14. Working overnight and all day classes

    ahs2015 replied to Kevonn's topic in General Nursing

    If you got home from school by 4:00, were asleep by 4:30 pm and slept until 9 pm that is 4.5 hours of sleep a night. That's not sustainable for five out of seven days a week. Lack of sleep effects people physically and mentally. You need to either ...

15. Pre-Licensure Clinicals

    ahs2015 replied to cmgev's topic in Western Governors

    I'm not in the program but I have applied for the next Dallas cohort. The clinicals are approx once every quarter, with the exception of OB which are in two consecutive months. They will give you a 2-3 week window in which the clinicals will be sched...
