I graduated from Houston WGU with my bachelors in nursing in 2020. During the program, I worked full time. Passed my nclex the first time. Great school. Very flexible. Currently working in labor and delivery.
Omg! I haven’t even watched the whole video yet, but I’m so freaking excited you made a video on WGU! I’m an LVN in Houston & I was planning on contacting WGU this week about my RN. This was my confirmation to do it!
Do I need to retake the prerequisites classes to get in ? I took them when I got my LVN but I thought I read somewhere they don’t transfer over ? I left messages no reply yet Edit: I think I just heard the answer 🙂
I don't care for Capella so I decided on WGU or Bellevue. I will likely go with WGU. I like the fact that you can repeat without the failed grade showing up on your transcrip. You can also complete quickly. Some can get a course done within a week. The down side is they don't do letter grades.
Thank you for all of this info! I have been contemplating WGU for awhile. With work and a family I have been making excuses. Getting the ball rolling is the hardest part, but the first step to new beginnings. I look forward to following your journey. 💜
Hey sis! I'm also in Houston in the prelicensure program now. I'm stuck on Biochem and start labs next week. Do you mind sharing the FB group where notes for this class were shared? Was it just the Biochem Study Group?
Hey girl this is such a helpful video! I’m currently working as an LVN in houston. I received my LVN from San Jac north! You’re video made me much interested in WGU! Thanks sm!!
I started WGU November 2021. I am in the RN to MSN program. Your dump file in biochemistry is excellent. You are correct. WGU does allow flexibility however you have to be dedicated to the work. Night Owl Nurse
Hi there! Im thinking of applying to WGU. My counselor told me only about 5 ppl will be accepted into the cohort in my city. Does the cohort include the first semester, prior to clinical? Or is it the first semester then join the cohort which involves clinicals?
it includes the first semester prior to clinical, because in order to move on to the clinicals in the 2nd semester you have to be successful in the first semester
CRNA programs are very competitive and GPA based. You will earn GPA of 3.0 graduating from WGU. It's not recommended to attend WGU if you want to become a CRNA your 3.0 GPA from WGU will not be competitive. However if you're interested in NP. WGU has a NP program.
Thank you for sharing, Sana! I've been looking for more information on WGU and like you mentioned, I haven't been able to find much! This is a great resource. Thanks, again!
For the prelicensure it’s in a 2 week span. In one semester. You go three days in one week for 12 hours. They partner you with a nurse and you go the days that nurse works. RN To BSN there is no clinicals.
@@TheTwinDiaries How far in advance do you know the days your are assigned? Wondering if they give students enough time in advance to request the days off work for the days clinical are scheduled.
@@TheTwinDiaries i go to Pikes Peak in Colorado . Im currently in my 3rd semester and I love it so far. It has been mostly discussion posts and papers but it's sooo covenient like you said especially with working. Nothing too hard so far lol Thank you so much for doing this q&a and I wish you the best in school ❤😘
So WGU doesn't give grades which means you can't calculate your GPA. You just get Pass or Fail for each class. Does that bother you? You won't be able to transfer to other accredited schools after you graduate because you need a GPA for other programs in order to transfer anywhere. Does that make you nervous? Does that also influence your decision to go back to the school if you ever decide to pursue a degree post Bachelors because I guess you can't really transfer anywhere else that is accredited or legit? If you don't want to pursue any other degrees after completing the program I understand deciding to attend the school. However I think it would make people think twice before attending if they knew that bit of info. Just curious about your thoughts about the whole grading system. It was nice to hear your perspective of the school so far.
You actually do get a GPA it transfers as a 3.0 And many people have gone to other programs after WGU, as I stated in Houston it’s actually one of the most popular schools for Nurses. I genuinely love the school, the affordability, etc so as of now I’m not interested in continuing but if I was it would be with WGU.
@@TheTwinDiaries Ok thats awesome. Thanks for sharing. It didn't say that on the website so that's the main I was wondering about that program. Thanks for replying & letting me know.
Yes it was discontinued from what I heard it had a lot to do with the clinical sites. Apparently California makes it a lot harder for schools than other states.

Aww I love hearing this! 💖 totally agree with you so many RNs that went there here in Houston.
How long does it took you to complete the program
@@khalidjamel6401 Two years
@@cornishawable is it hard to get accepted ?
@@larios86 No, it was not hard to get accepted. They have cohorts that start every month.

YESSS! Totally recommend you doing it! Just starting the program opened doors for me in Houston job wise!
Do you have to have prerequisites done before applying for WGU? I am a patient care tech at a hospital and want to do a accelerated BSN program.
No you don’t
Omg!!! Finally a WGU prelicensure student. Please keep posting & updating your journey with the program. I am in the process of applying there.
Will do love! Good luck!
@@TheTwinDiaries thank you so much!

What year you started ?
Don't listen to horror stories. Know that that's not your story. You make your story.

Yay! So glad it’s helpful! Will definitely be sharing more and I also share on IG ❤️
How long does it take to find out if you get in?
Hey sis! I'm also in Houston in the prelicensure program now. I'm stuck on Biochem and start labs next week. Do you mind sharing the FB group where notes for this class were shared? Was it just the Biochem Study Group?

where did you find her dump file for biochemistry?
I made a C in biochemistry when I took it at UofH. Will WGU accept the transferred credit?
i’m unsure you’d have to ask your counselor
Heyyy I’m currently waiting to see if I got accepted into the nursing program at wgu in Florida. Teas score is 73 and gpa is 3.00 I pray I get in
Did you get in?
Teas has to be 75

Thank you for this video I’m hoping to get in next year I’m still working on my pre reqs ... I just subbed !!
Aww welcome to the family! 💜🥰 fingers crossed I’m sure you’ll get in!!!
Can you apply to crna school with the degree from WGU

@@melscorner4598 oh what I can do with NP
And why wgu is not good for crna
@@melscorner4598Do they have a Physician Assistant program?

No problem! ❤️❤️
How does clinical work? Do you go every other month?

They tell you the week but not the exact dates until they know which sometimes is last minute. Normal for any normal school.
Im currently in a diff online BSN program but hve heard nthin but great things abt WGU and def want to obtain my MSN thru them ❤
Really?! Which one! And yes if I go back for my MSN or NP I’d do them again too! ❤️

@@TheTwinDiaries Why and how does it transfer at a 3.0?
did u have to start all over or did they take the college credits you had with your LPN?
Did you ever get an answer outside of this ? I was wondering the same
You look beautiful!!!!😘
Thank you friend!!! Miss you! ❤️
Too bad the program is not in Georgia 😒
I know I’m sorry, I’m sure they’re planning on expanding since it’s been so successful.
The Twin Diaries my name is Jessica Walker and I live in Los Angeles do not have a WGU they did at one time but not no more.
Yes it was discontinued from what I heard it had a lot to do with the clinical sites. Apparently California makes it a lot harder for schools than other states.
If I currently live in CA but move to another state to attend WGU for the BSN program. Would I be able to come back to CA and find jobs here as an RN?
@@raulaquino468Did you figure it out? Currently wondering the same.
Thanks for your video, please can I get a contact or instagram page
