    I greatly appreciate our detailed response!! I suppose I haven't really given thought to the idea of nursing school not working out, blind arrogance maybe... While it is a definitely possibility I...

  5. Cal State San Marcos ABSN Spring 2017

    JofAllTrades replied to kendleh's topic in School, College Programs

    Wow, I can't believe people are admitted so quickly to Spring 2017 cohort when the deadline isn't even past yet (Aug 12 I think?) That is so great! But also makes me a little nervous. I just completed...

  6. Western Governors University Pre-Licensure Program

    JofAllTrades replied to CARN2018's topic in Western Governors University

    I was lucky, it was my first attempt but I did study for 2 months and took about 4 practice tests as well. 81% is not a bad score, and your GPA is strong. Best of luck to you hope you get in. I'll be...

    JofAllTrades replied to msnurse_14's topic in Western Governors University

    No worries - I had a very difficult time initially find all the info as well - So glad to help anyone just jumping in! :) Best of luck - Retaking classes is a total pain in the butt, but well worth it...

    JofAllTrades replied to CARN2018's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi Sweetgem - Yes I took my TEAS V at the end of June, i scored a 92.7%, with a minimum 90% in all categories. WGU did not accept my Anatomy course (9 yrs old), nor my Physiology course (8 yrs old)...

  9. Western Governors University Pre-Licensure Program

    JofAllTrades replied to CARN2018's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi Alicia - You said "clinicals are clustered every three months for a 2 week period - So does that mean that for one traveling from outside LA county we would likely have to "spend 2 weeks" in the...

  10. Pre Licensure WGU Southern California

    JofAllTrades replied to msnurse_14's topic in Western Governors University

    For WGU specifically, they will not usually accept any hard science after 5 yrs of age. That is what happened to me. For most CC / ADN programs Anatomy must be less than 10 yrs old, and Physic/Micro...

  11. Prerequisites Before WGU

    JofAllTrades replied to janetaramos's topic in Western Governors University

    I would suggest the same as the others - Retaking AP1/ Anatomy for at least a B or ~85% ... It is just so competitive out there you need to do all you can! Also just FYI you can take AP1 and their lab...

    JofAllTrades replied to chellacam's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi CaRT2RN - thank you for the kind words!!! I actually got a 92.7% on my first Teas try so I was super relieved to say the least! My GPA isn't so hot, it's like 3.3 or so- so I'm actually hoping my...

  13. 2nd career nurse advice

    JofAllTrades replied to darbyspinx's topic in General Nursing

    this is correct! The he closest you can get to an Online Prelicensure BSN is with a program like WGU, where the "class work" can be done online but you would still need to go to clinical a at a local...

  14. 2nd career nurse advice

    JofAllTrades replied to darbyspinx's topic in General Nursing

    I had my Sciences (Anatomy/Physiology) completed in 2007, and as of this year (2016) I've had significant difficulty getting any one school to accept the classes. Some school will accept my Physiology...

  17. 2016 CSUSM ABSN Program

    JofAllTrades replied to Jennifershlee's topic in School, College Programs

    A lot of people refer to is as "the online nursing program" and while it is true I think that phrasing is misleading - All the theory is online, but clinical a are held through out several hospitals...

  18. 2016 CSUSM ABSN Program

    JofAllTrades replied to Jennifershlee's topic in School, College Programs

    I am currently considering to apply, but it seems like they have a lot of pre-reqs when compared to the other programs in San Diego... My first choice is actually WGU. But CSUSM is one of the other...

  22. WGU A&P I & II Question

    JofAllTrades replied to JofAllTrades's topic in Western Governors University

    I definitely appreciate that comment. WGU only counts the 3 science class GPA... which kinda sucks because all my other courses that are pre-reqs I had an A in... But the 3 sciences I had B or B+.......

  23. WGU A&P I & II Question

    JofAllTrades replied to JofAllTrades's topic in Western Governors University
