I'm hoping to start on November 1st. Have you gotten everything in?

Hi Brittany! I start November 1st too! Maybe we can help each other :)

How many CU's are you required to complete?

Hi, you've been accepted already? I just turned in all that was required for my Qualified Nursing File. I thought they have to go through all of the applications first as a panel and then decide who will be given their spots. I am just curious. I am applying to the BSN-Prelicensure program. Is this the same one your are referring to? If so, what is your science GPA for A&P I & II and Micro, and your TEAS score? Thank you for any helpful info!

Hi GreenEyedGal80, I think they are mostly talking about the RN to BSN program.

However I am in the BSN-Prelicensure program and I had a 3.8 Science GPA and 75% on the TEAS V.

I was able to transfer 80 credits and I have 40 left! I hope to finish in one term if possible! I'm super motivated!!!

I've been doing all the requirements since July but had surgery. That's why I have a known start date. I was supposed to start October 1st but pushed it back. I'm in the RN-BSN program with an intent to also get my MSN through WGU.

Hi Michelle,

I see, I was under the impression that students aren't admitted until everyone has applied for that specific start date- they also said they only have 10 spots available every cohort but I am in So. Cal. Oh well. Hope I get in. I have 79 transferrable credits. If you don't mind me asking, what was your a&p 1&2 and micro GPA as well as your TEAS score? Its giving me a better idea if I have a chance or not.

I'm all set to start November 1st as well. I was bummed that I didn't get "accepted" until 9/16- so they wouldn't let me start October 1st. Oh well, I have 42 c.u.s to complete, hoping to do it in 6 months or less but would settle for 9 months. Good luck to everyone!!

I graduated nursing school in 1992 (lol) I had a 4.0 in both A&P I&II. A 3.0 in Micro.

I have 23 years of ICU nursing experience ranging from supervisory to management.

I wasn't aware they only let 10 through each month. That's interesting. My enrollment counselor never gave me that impression. Had I not had surgery I could've started September 1st or October 1st.

I wish you lots of luck!!!!! Hopefully you'll be in this session with me! Either way, I'll keep you posted!
