WGU's BSN Nursing Program (pre-licensure) Admission Process

[@AuthenticallyEbony]

Thanks for sharing! I’m 29, a full time working mom of 2, & I’ve been looking at different programs at WGU because like you said flexibility is really key when you’re working full time & a mom. I currently have a bachelors degree, but idk. I think I want to give nursing a try. Please continue sharing your journey. 🙏🏾

[@goldkissed]

You welcome!! & If it’s something that is speaking to your heart you should do it! ❤️ I struggled with whether I wanted to go back to school, ultimately I decided it’s either now or never

[@Nikki2U808]

OMG im sitting here with my notebook weighing out my options. I too am a COTA grad 2015, working several prn jobs, but interested in RN program, Ive talked about it thought about it and start and paused the admitting process of WGU, transcripts sent, essay done just havent done my HESI, u just gave me the encouragement to dive in. Im so proud of u taking the leap to fulfill your goal!

[@Ashleyrios3465-m4d]

Girl I just have to take my Hesi too !!! I hope we both pass !

[@jennyvone]

The music is distracting luv!

[@goldkissed]

Hey sorry! Thanks for letting me know

[@jennyvone]

@@goldkissed I really wanted to hear you speak, try using soft lofi music with no words in the background next time! 🫶🏽💯

[@AllegraGambino]

@@goldkissedcan you finish the actually nursing classes early?

[@goldkissed]

@@AllegraGambinono, it will be 2.5 years

[@RyanSmith-wc5vj]

Same, I really wanted to listen but the music was hard in my earphones.

[@abie1990.]

I have family in Texas and I am thinking about moving to there so I can attend WGU. I do want to apply before I move, do they ask you for any proof of your living residency? Or should I wait until I move ? I am not sure what to do

[@IamEvelynEvette]

Can you apply get accepted and let’s say your projected start date is six months from now. Can you start knocking out your prerequisites through another college before your start date?

[@goldkissed]

Yes!!

[@yahyah9975]

WGU accepts prerequisites from Sophia Learning. 💫

[@TerryOnDemand]

WGU Alumni here--I love their program module.😊

[@Nallely_Guz]

Congratulations! Keep us updated on your journey to nursing. How long did you study for the HESI prior to testing?

[@goldkissed]

Thank you!!! I studied for 3 weeks about 12 hrs a week

[@Remyyyred]

What’s the cost like ?

[@victoriagreywoode7007]

Please what are all the prerequisites you should take before starting WGU ? Can you please list them

[@Bawdybybee]

Thank you so much for posting this! I applied to WGU and in works of starting the BSN program. I’m a little weary bc I just want to know I’ll be able to get into an externship or residency program with a good hospital (I live in Ohio) afterwards .

[@goldkissed]

You will be fine! A lot of WGU grads are placed in really good rated trauma hospitals and even graduate from a CRNA or NP program.

[@Bawdybybee]

@@goldkissed thank you so much! Excited to see your content !☺️

[@goldkissed]

You welcome 🤗

[@samiyafarah951]

@@goldkissed I’m thinking of applying as well , I live in Ohio . Lmk if you applied yet!

[@kimgreer9069]

Hi ! How is it taking classes online and building a support system? Are you able to connect with your peers?

[@jessicarene3878]

Hey so I ran into your channel through OTA, I just got into the program, leaving the nursing program. Awee man is there no jobs in OTA ? I'm now nervous

[@goldkissed]

So some areas are oversaturated with COTA's and have a small job market. But that's not every area, overall I am burnt out with this field. Little career mobility and the pay is subpar. I was a nursing major before I did my OTA program and I regret changing course.

[@jessicarene3878]

@@goldkissed Aweee man 😭😭 I'm in Florida ugh but now I'm scared but thank you for responding

[@goldkissed]

@@jessicarene3878 my best advice would be to check the jobs in the area on indeed. look at pay and amount of job postings...

[@maragchnannel1696]

Congratulations....🎉🎉 could you please tell me if you heard anything about clinical sites immunization requirements and having a medical exemption?

[@goldkissed]

Hi I am nowhere close to starting clinicals yet so idk.. sorry

[@jessicamensah]

Please i want you to kindly brief me on this nursing program, so do u have to take pre-requisits for 2yrs then enter into the nursing program for 4yrs or what? I don't understand

[@Navlany17]

How was the process of HESI exam was it a live proctor?

[@goldkissed]

I took mine in person at my local community college

[@cindymurphy2946]

Now in Arkansas too

[@apela24]

Can you talk about why you left occupational therapy for nursing (pros/cons)? Thanks!

[@goldkissed]

Hey, I feel like therapy has not much job or pay growth… and it’s extremely repetitive.. people are graduating with 7 years of education just to graduate with 6 figures in debt with a terrible pay and job outlook.. and the physical demands of the job is horrible, I don’t want to be in my 40s and 50s lifting people up… the only good thing I can say about the field is that there are good opportunities in the “entrepreneur” route, such as opening up your own clinic, starting your own home health company etc..if you have drive to do those things… Nursing overall has better pay and career mobility.

[@Clean_King]

Can i get some answers

[@S.V.O_]

For the HESI EXAM could you list out the sections please. I heard you say vocabulary, math, biology, reading and grammar. No A&P. Correct?

[@goldkissed]

A&P is on there.. biology is optional to take

[@S.V.O_]

@goldkissed so do we take A&P too or does it not count towards the WGU degree.

[@S.V.O_]

On the website it lists vocabulary maths reading grammar biology and learning styles. Nothing about A&P

[@goldkissed]

@@S.V.O_ hey hun, they change requirements all the time. So I’m not sure, I applied like over 6 months ago. Just follow what is listed on the website and speak to a enrollment counselor

[@badkawaiikitty]

You switched from OTA??

[@goldkissed]

I’m still practicing as an OTA while I earn my BSN.

[@Sarianmiller]

Thanks for the video,did you mention Georgia?

[@lunarespess]

Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, or Utah

[@ItsSierra_]

Ur doing amazing! Almost “30” 😂 Girl don’t be so hard on yourself!

[@goldkissed]

Lol ill try not to!

[@norabrooke1]

Do you have book or website recommendations for the HESI exam?

[@goldkissed]

Use nursehub!!

[@edwardhaynes8857]

WGU is regionally accredited...
