I am applying to the pre licensure program at WGU, I have everything done already, and I will have my interview with Joe the Prelicensure Team lead on Friday, I am very excited to start the program, but also very afraid and anxious, I really hope I can get in. My counselor said that the next cohort for the Los Angeles area starts in March 2012, so if everything goes well I wil be the happiest person alive if I get in and start in march. Is there anyone applying to this cohort? Does anyone know any other cohort starting earlier? if anyone has any tips for me, what should I do next, or if anyone that is already in the program has any tips, any info will be greatly appreciated!!!
What should I expect regarding the clinicals application, is the emotional intelligence test hard? What about the WGU's foundational nursing skills performance assessment?
i was missing a fair amount of prereqs. i took 3 clep tests and 3 through straighterline and one through another community college that offered online courses. what are you missing?
foundations
language and communications
quantitative literacy
literature, arts, and humanities
im missing those and i dont know how they equate to the classes at my local cc...
im going to talk to an admissions rep tomorrow
my sciences are gonna be done this semester and im probably going to have a 3.4 i hope that is good enough

foundations do you mean foundations of college mathematics? that can be taken through straighterline and so can quantitative literacy. i clep'd humanities. that's a tough clep i won't lie, but if you study hard it's doable. here's a link to straighterline with their course equivalents. transfer college credits to western governors university - straighterline
Im not taking my classes on straighter line... although i might do that math portion if it saves me time... I was wondering how classes transfer from actual brick n mortar community colleges..

As long as they are regionally and nationally accredited there should be no problem transferring them. I went through Straighterline and CLEP tests because of the cost and time factor. I was able to study and test with all the CLEP tests with 2-3 weeks of study time and $70 a test. I didn't have any problem transferring classes that came from actual brick and mortar community colleges.
I am looking at WGU prelicensure but am still missing BioChem and Micro. I looked at Straightline but they don't offer either. Any online resources anyone can suggest? I have previously taken Chem but it has been over 10 years. Also can anyone suggest any accelerated programs in the LA area that won't bankrupt me? Thanks!

Micro can be done online through Ocean County College -Microbiology Online at Ocean County College. I took it through them with their quick course (shorter than a regular term I want to say 8 weeks, but have to go look to be sure.) Berkeley offers a self paced biochem class - Introductory Biochemistry course - UC Berkeley Extension Those are both online courses. I can't help you with the LA area stuff.
I am very happy to say that I got my call yesterday, I AM IN:yeah::yelclap::heartbeat!!! OMG I am Sooooooo happy. I will have my intake interview tomorrow, but I already spoke with my mentor today, and by the way she seems to be an awesome person. I got into the Cedars cohort, so if there is anyone else out there for the Cedars cohort let me know!!!:yelclap:

Congrats Fcat......when dose the Cedars cohort start ? also what were your scores that got you in ...like science GPA and TEAS......?
Thank you very much, and I am sorry for taking soooooo long in answer your question, things has been crazy those last couple of days!!! My science GPA 3.0 and 75% on the TEAS.
I heard that the program is 2.5 years... Do any of you know what classes you are actually doing the first 6 months? I am not sure if I should do a 2.5 year program when I can do West Coast University and get done in a little under 2 years because I have a lot of classes done...
Does anyone know if it's difficult to get a job after they graduate from here? Since it's mostly online, wouldn't some employers think it's not "good enough" since there's no physical class?
