BiscuitStripes posted a topic in California Nursing

I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of whether the Board of Registered Nursing Board Meetings are open to the public for attendance or not? Thank
Cal State San Marcos ABSN Fall 2018

I just realized they had already sent me my evaluation via email. I didn't realize it was the point assessment/evaluation, I thought it was just showing I had completed the prerequisite courses. Now...

Your evaluation has your points, correct? I can only estimate my points based on the scoring sheet online, as I'm still waiting for my evaluation. My application has been complete for almost 2 weeks,...

I don't know what the average TEAS score is for Dallas, but considering Texas cohorts are starting on almost a monthly basis, I know the competition to get in is much
Accepted to WGU Pre-Lic BSN

BiscuitStripes replied to LoveJRenee's topic in Western Governors University

They heavily weigh the TEAS composite score (overall) and TEAS reading score. Although the science GPA is also important, they look at the TEAS score more. That being said, they do look at your...
WGU and California

BiscuitStripes replied to MiloRN's topic in Western Governors University

I know someone who works in an ICU in a very well respected hospital in California. She obtained her ADN from a community college but obtained her RN to BSN through WGU and has had no issues. There is...

I applied also as a back up to another program. I had originally started my application for the summer semester but didn't finish the application due to some life events. They had done a transcript...
April 2018 California Cohort

BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Western Governors University

From what I can tell based on my own personal research into the current situation of WGU, August "shouldn't" be affected and should continue as normal - this is also what WGU has told applicants. That...

Cumulative GPA

BiscuitStripes replied to Shanon4414's topic in Western Governors University

Because the courses are Pass/fail and not a letter grade. WGU doesn't actually even assign a GPA on your transcript, but there is a note on the bottom or back that a pass is equivalent to a 3.0 GPA....

I've had no updates regarding a reschedule of April. I was one of the admitted students for April, so I'm sure I'll be one of the first to hear what's going
e-Book or Physical Text Book

BiscuitStripes posted a topic in General Students

Do you prefer an e-book or a physical text book when taking courses? I've completed my prerequisite courses and should be starting nursing school hopefully in the next few months (I was accepted to...

April 2018 California Cohort

BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Western Governors University

I feel like it's a bit of a game of telephone. Whatever is causing the issue tells the CA Director, who in turn tells someone else, who probably tells someone else, eventually making its way to the...
April 2018 California Cohort

BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Western Governors University

Really no updates. They're basically saying it's an issue with the state and not the BSN program, WGU, or clinical partners. August and October are still projected, and there may or may not be a...

From your advisor? And did they say you were admitted? I'm still waiting to hear back from mine, the last word I got was Friday when I was told it was cancelled. Any word as to why it was...
Do CNAS HAVE TO DRAW BLOOD?

BiscuitStripes replied to sandra0511's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

In California there's no way you'd ever draw blood as a CNA. I'm surprised other states let CNA's draw

BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Western Governors University

Well that's disheartening, but thanks for the info. I looked a little more at the Salt Lake City program instead of South Utah because it's a quick flight from Orange County, but if they wouldn't...

BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Western Governors University

I have no clue..was just a thought at this point and I don't have any information regarding other state cohorts. I'm really hoping I hear good news this week. I'm hoping they just move the April...

I think it is a solid program, and I understand if unforeseen circumstances arise; however, I wish when they contacted me to rescind my admission, they would have provided me more information, such as...

BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Western Governors University

You can try but I don't think anyone will be able to tell you anything, considering my advisor had to call all her students and rescind their admissions, and she hasn't even been told anything. She...
April 2018 California Cohort

My guess is the hospital backed out, but who knows honestly. Interesting too because WGU in California recently added a new hospital partner and upped enrollment from 30 students a year to 76 a year...
