Oh, thanks so much for your response. I just have a few questions for you.
Did you work in a clinical position prior to obtain acceptance into the program? Or did you volunteer?
How often did you have to go to clinicals?
Did you work fulltime/part-time/PRN while in the program? If so, was it manageable?
Was this program flat out a service learning experience or were the professors/mentors key players in you learning the theory and nursing skills?
Do you feel that WGU prepared you for taking the NCLEX (meaning ATI material, HESI exams, etc)?
Again, thank you in advance for answering my questions.

Hi txnurstud - I have been following your posts and feel we have very similiar experiences with our undergraduate degrees in Business and our passion to transition into nursing (but needing to work). I was wondering if I could connect with you offline (email) as I'm hoping to get some information that you have learned and advice as I see you are currently at WGU- Congrats! I'm still taking pre-reqs but have been looking at UTA, TWU, and WGU. However, with WGU, you have to a LVN, CNA, or similar so I'm wondering how you advanced to obtaining your LVN. Look forward to hearing from you!
