WGU Pre-Licensure- Dallas Summer 2017

Nursing Students Western Governors

Published

Hello Everyone! I was searching to see if anyone had posted about the upcoming cohort coming up here in Dallas. Since i couldn't find anything i decided to make one. I am interested to see if anyone has applied? or has received any news? been accepted? or even older students, if you have any advice for this program.

I already have a Bachelors, but i would like to end up in a Np Midwifery program. If anyone has any information on schools that will accept students with a BSN from ,while not being turn off by their pass fair approach, i would truly appreciate it!

Fingers crossed that i get accepted!

@Gangsteroids Great stats lady! Hahaha i must have overlooked the template. I found out about this program late so i had to rush through my application process.

I do wonder if anyone knows how many spots are available for the Dallas campus?

But fingers crossed for the both of us!!

@wise Thanks! I'm feeling somewhat confident. I also am pretty sure my TEAS would have been three or four points higher if I had gotten more than 4 hours of sleep the night before... guess that's what happens with a 2 month old though, lol. If I don't get in this term I'm going to make sure I'm able to actually study and take practice tests this time. :( I've been out of science and math classes for over two years so I need the practice! I'm pretty sure I was told there were 10-12 spots but that might have been for the second term on, not the pre-nursing term.

They should be calling this afternoon I think, my enrollment counselor called me because I emailed and told her I wouldn't be available for the majority of the afternoon, though my appointment took much less time than I thought it would.

Good luck everyone who applied for this coming term!

@bestnurse94 No problem.

My enrollment counselor was really great, she was the one that i called non stop and emailed if i needed anything.

So Im planning to apply for the Sept start in Houston (deadline July1). I don't really like my enrollment counslor. He's never available. To his defense, he usually emails me back in 24-48 hours but when ever I call, he never answers. If I have a question and I don't want to wait for a whole day, I just press 0 and ask who ever answers the phone.

Question: when you submitted your letters and resume, did you send it to counselor or did you upload it through the student portal?

Congrats on your acceptance! If you don't mind, can you share your experience with the TEAS test, do you feel like you studied the right material? How did you study? Is it true that it is heavy on A&P?

What was your scores?

@ Jaide06

Thank you! But yes i would say that the TEAS is a bit heavy on A&P but not really all the specifics. You need to know it but you don't have to know everything. I felt like it was basically testing my over all knowledge of the subject. So when it came to studying, my case was a bit different. I only studied for about 1 1/2- 2 weeks, I hate prolonged study plans. I borrowed books from the library that covered the new TEAS material because i didnt want to pay for the study material. I tried looking online for free practice tests but could not really find what i was looking for. I search on groups like on here for any other resource and everyone kept on saying that you should just buy the practice test from ATI Themselves. But again i was being really cheap and i felt that if i was able to master the materials then i will do fine on the test no matter what format it was in. So for those two weeks i used The Princeton Review, Kaplan and Khan Academy to study.

My Results

Over all : 83

Reading 91

Math 90

Science 80

English in the 60's ( I gave up at the end lol i was so over the test that i started guessing)

I went in with the mind set that if i didn't score above a 70- 80 then i was going to retake it.

Let me know if this helps!
