I wanted to get everyone's opinion and I'm just curious to know what my chances are of being accepted into WGU Texas Pre-Licensure program. My application is complete according to my enrollment counselor. I am just waiting for after November 1st to be notified if I got into the pre-licensure program. I understand that I would have to apply to the clinical portion while completing the pre-licensure part. I currently have a 3.53 GPA, working to improve that and my TEAS adjusted score was 82.7% on the first try. I'm just worried that I'm not as competitive as others to get accepted. I have been rejected by other schools. I have also taken the HESI A2 exam with a 85.43% on the first try.
Has anyone else been accepted to WGU's Pre-Licensure program? If so, what was your overall GPA and TEAS V Score? I just want to know if I even have a chance of being accepted. If you are in the program now, what is the program like? How are the clinicals, and where are you doing them?
I have my intake interview on Thursday and my admissions call on tomorrow. What do they ask you for your intake interview. I already have my FAFSA completed with all the other things done that go with it. Where is orientation and when? I am sure I will find out Thursday, but I am just excited and anxious.
During the intake interview, your enrollment counselor is going to go through your next steps which can include financial aid and any other missing items. I didn't have anything missing and I've been cleared by admissions to begin orientation in mid-december. Orientation is done online in the student portal. I was fortunate enough to obtain a scholarship that covered my WGU tuition for nursing school.
To everyone who is currently in the Pre-Licensure program at WGU Texas and Dallas cohorts, how is everything going so far for you? How was the pre-nursing semester like? (Having to take biochemistry and everything else) How are the actual nurses courses, skills, and clinicals?
*I would like as much detail as possible to help better prepare myself for the long hard road ahead of me. Thank you everyone for your support and advice; I greatly appreciate it and I'm sure others do as well.
Mistyp88, thank you. The intake interview for me went well because my enrollment counselor and I had similar conversations leading up to it so we just brushed over topics we went over in the past.
*Great and constant communication with your enrollment counselor is key. My counselor had been rooting for me since I began talking to her about my interests in becoming an RN.
Sounds just like mine. We have talked for about a year now and was on every 2 week calls regarding my application. Who did you have? Mine is Ani and she is awesome.
Im interested in the Dallas cohort in the fall. I have a question. I know every 3 months after the first term will be clinicals for a two week period. Does anyone know how often the labs/simulations would be?
I was accepted to the Nov 1 cohort in 2012 my GPA was 3.0 and my TEAS was 67.3 now I am about to finish in April I have just one class left! I also work n the medical field for the last 16 years as a PCA. Good Luck and dont give up! Labs happen for the CASAL I and II, Chronic Care, OB, PEDS and chronic care there are no labs for Psych, Community or Role transition. I finished Biochemistry in 21 days and the boot camp was intense if you had no medical experience. I have found the program challenging but I know my stuff from the lesson taught. I would suggest to stay on track don't get behind and if you can start adding non nursing courses like evidence based after chronic care otherwise you will end up with 19 hours in your last term and that is a lot of stress when you should start breathing a little easier.
