WGU RN-BSN 11/1/11 start

Published

Who's starting WGU 11/1/11. I saw there was a thread for 10/1/11, figured we could start one for November.

Had my intake interview already, my transcripts have not been evaluated yet but am feeling the pressure to pay up by the 25th. Am afraid to pay then find my eval is unacceptable. (UTA and Chamberlain are my back-ups).

Depending on what the transcript eval says, I am hoping to get the BSN within the first term.

Specializes in Oncology, OR.

I'll be starting 11/1 pending transcript review. Little nervous because it's my understanding that all transcripts have to be in by the 25th of the month prior to start date and I'm still waiting to find out if the last two arrived. Pretty sure I'll have to take Nutrition, BioChem and maybe even Microbiology in addition to the BSN curriculum which will suck, but I'm still hoping to finish everything in six months. Excited to get started, and it will be nice to have you all on here to to through the program with!

I just talked to my enrollment counselor and I have to wait for a 12/1 start date, they met their cap for Nov. The good thing is that they are going to allow students to take the first class 11/15 which I believe is EWB.

Sounds like we are in a similar boat. Have you had BioChem before? It sounded like from talking to the admission counselor, my general chem would not be enough and I would have to take BioChem. I am dreading it.

It may be reason enough for me to enroll in Chamberlain just to avoid doing BioChem.

My counselor said I should have my evals soon, but she kept talking about how there is a huge volume of applicants and transcripts received and the eval office maybe overwhelmed. idk

I took "Fundamentals of Chemistry," a 4 credit hour course with lecture and lab, at a local community college. It was accepted for the chem requirement from WGU. Not sure if that is helpful info, but if you've taken something similar I would definitely appeal the transcript eval if it's not accepted. Good luck to you!

My enrollment adviser made me think I would have to take biochem. Glad she was wrong. Now it's getting real.

I am shooting for one term too. The masters program I want to get into has a march deadline, so am hoping to be done by then.

I start with EWB and Nutrition.
