    That's the

  2. WGU Prelicensure CA May 16

    EmmReeCPT replied to amytree's topic in Western Governors University

    I only took the PA once so there wasn't much to compare it to. In my opinion, if you can do all your conversions from mL to tsp to T to oz to pints and so on, you'll be fine. There were also technical...

  3. WGU Prelicensure CA May 16

    EmmReeCPT replied to amytree's topic in Western Governors University

    Just passed my exam!! Got a 78 on the preassessment and an 87 on the final.! Woo!! Honestly, not too long. I think 3 weeks total but I didn't touch it for a week and a half of that total time. I also...

  4. WGU Prelicensure CA May 16

    EmmReeCPT replied to amytree's topic in Western Governors University

    Not too bad at all, then again, I've only finished Biochem and I take the Med Dosage calc exam this afternoon. I haven't quite gotten into any of the bulk classes yet. Onward to

  5. white scrub tops and jackets

    EmmReeCPT replied to coffeetalker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    1) not the cheapest but I would suggest Sterilite containers. They're probably 50x cheaper than those nurse specific Iso carts. You could get one of those 2 drawer units that have the larger bottom...

  6. Home Health Aide or Phelebotomy

    EmmReeCPT replied to Blue Robin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did EMT during most of my prereqs and am now a working phlebotomist while going through nursing school. Here's the scoop. Home health aid sucks in my opinion. I know some people live and die by...

  7. 40 yr old with GED. Is a MSN even possible?

    EmmReeCPT replied to shamis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would start with an AS in math/science. Basically, get an AA but also get your anatomy/physio/microbiology and statistics out of the way at the same time. If you can do that, then look into nursing,...

  8. Moving to Los Angeles 2016

    EmmReeCPT replied to nurseMB94's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on where you're trying to live. St. Francis(Lynwood) is great and (from what I hear) they make the most out of all the the RNs in CA and from what I've been told from ED RNs, it's...

  9. WGU A&P I & II Question

    EmmReeCPT replied to JofAllTrades's topic in Western Governors University

    I wouldn't kill yourself over a 4.0. I was admitted with a 3.0 in sciences and slightly higher overall. 85 TEAS but I was an EMT so that could've helped me. It is competitive but they take into...

  10. WGU Prerequisites for BSN Prelicensure(Need Help deciding what to take)

    EmmReeCPT replied to tishalu's topic in Western Governors University

    I would ask about pharm..from what I've gathered and from the EC and SM, they do not allow outside pharm classes. It's built into the first term. Nutrition as well is not an accepted transfer class,...

  11. Anyone in or finished the pre-licensure online BSN program?

    EmmReeCPT replied to artonurse's topic in Western Governors University

    I just started the prelicensure program in SoCal May 1st. So far, I enjoy how the program is structured, then again, I literally JUST started. Ill try to remember to update after my first lab and...

  12. I hate microbiology!!!!!! Errrrrrrrrrr

    EmmReeCPT replied to chellacam's topic in Western Governors University

    ...I have a 3.0 GPA in my sciences and about a 3.6 overall. 85 on my TEAS and EMT experience and was accepted. You should be more than

  13. EMTs Ever Look at You Like You're Dumb?

    EmmReeCPT replied to Avill's topic in School

    Former EMT here! I apologize if we ever look at you like you're less than..typically we don't get any HX,allergies,RX or literally anything useful we can tell the triage nurse or even in our base...

  14. WGU pre licensure

    EmmReeCPT replied to Jesse1234's topic in Western Governors University

    I've been told that they try to take your location into account when assigning clinicals but they can't always accommodate. They might try to keep you at Mission Hospital which is in Mission Viejo....

  15. To take at local community college or when I'm at WGU?

    EmmReeCPT replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    Damn. Now I feel spoiled for my $46/unit classes without financial aid(I'm in CA). $250/credit sounds like a university, not a community college. Sooooo It's just classes you COULD get out of the way...

  16. To take at local community college or when I'm at WGU?

    EmmReeCPT replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    How expensive is your CC if it costs 2500 for 3 classes?! That's insane!! If you're good at online learning, check out straighterline. WGU suggests them and it's "subscription" style classes so the...

  17. CSULB: Undeclared to Pre-Nursing

    EmmReeCPT replied to jullia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was admitted everywhere for psychology(my minor) instead of nursing. I elected to go to a CC because I didn't understand how the system worked. In my experience from asking counsellors at CSUF and...

  18. WGU Prelicensure CA May 16

    EmmReeCPT replied to amytree's topic in Western Governors University

    I just reread the email and it said she would be back this morning at 8am. I do the online orientation tonight at 8 so I'm going to email tomorrow once I finish the orientation so I have nothing to...

  19. WGU Prelicensure CA May 16

    EmmReeCPT replied to amytree's topic in Western Governors University

    You shouldn't need them to open anything. I've already finished task 1 for biochem, part of task 2 and I took the preassessment for Nutrition. You're able to get into them you just can't submit any...

  20. WGU Prelicensure CA May 16

    EmmReeCPT replied to amytree's topic in Western Governors University

    I emailed my mentor back with times that I could talk but haven't received a response only "___ is out of the office until [whenever] and will return emails [whenever]" I'm not sure if I should email...

  21. Hi, really need help in finding the right school (online?).

    EmmReeCPT replied to Curious Joe's topic in School, College Programs

    The only school in CA that is online is western governors university BUT it has in person labs and clinicals. Very flexible for the working professional/mom/etc. She will run into trouble at any...

  22. I'm failing anatomy!

    EmmReeCPT replied to wannabenurse88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there any time whatsoever to bring your grade up? And what is the best you could do [realistically]? I know at some schools, they will only replace D or F, I know some nursing programs will take...

  23. I'm failing anatomy!

    EmmReeCPT replied to wannabenurse88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy is all repetition and honestly, the professor does make a difference. Had to withdraw my first time due to such horrific grades but my 2nd try, I got a B and I give credit to my professor. He...

  24. Anatomy 2 & Chem or Anatomy 2 & Micro

    EmmReeCPT replied to Bball4334's topic in General Students

    I find that so funny. Both my micro and Chem professors were amazing. Micro was so patient and ready to help us at any chance we got, had a class set aside before every exam to review, open ended...

  25. Anatomy 2 & Chem or Anatomy 2 & Micro

    EmmReeCPT replied to Bball4334's topic in General Students

    Dang. Really?! Chemistry is kicking my butt so far. Luckily my professor allows 5 points extra credit per exam but damn, I feel like micro was a cakewalk compared to chemistry so far. I took Chem in...
