Help applying to WGU Prelicensure BSN California

Nursing Students Western Governors

Published

Hello! I'm applying to and I wanted to know if anyone else here got into the BSN Prelicensure program in California and your thoughts on it? Currently I'm finishing my prereqs at a community college and I'm retaking microbiology and anatomy (took them previously at another school and didn't do well and my current GPA is a 3.3. I also volunteer at a local hospital in the emergency room. I'm taking my teas test a week from today as well. I'm sorry if this is all over the place I'm just trying to see if anyone else with similar predicaments to mine have gotten into the program.

*I also have previous volunteer experience at a nursing home.

Specializes in ICU.

I was accepted a year or so ago, but my cohort was cancelled, so I went elsewhere. They recently lost a lot of their clinical partners. My understanding is they only have clinical placements at Cedars Sinai and Huntington Memorial now; however, to be considered for the Cedars cohorts, you have to be an employee of Cedars. Might want to consider other options incase it doesn't work out. It's also extremely competitive, you'll likely need 3.5+ GPA, prior healthcare experience, and a 90+ on the TEAS. They don't reveal their selection criteria, but these are the things most commonly looked at.
