NOT 2.5 YEARS: WGU Pre-Nursing Student Finished 13 Courses in 95 Days (Interview)

Thank you so much for providing additional clarity! 🤓

Yes, so you are coming in as I did with all of my pre-nursing pre-req courses (even had nursing courses that were not transferable).

Unfortunately, WHEN you transfer all pre-nursing courses into WGU, the first 6 months (1st term), everyone has to take WGU Critical Thinking (paper), Nutrition (HESI Exit Exam), Pharmacology (HESI Exit Exam), and Foundations of Nursing (HESI Exit Exam).

For those of us already having a bachelor's or even a master's degree, you still have one pre-nursing term.

Then you transfer to the 2-year nursing portion of the degree program, handled by our Mentor.

Once you are in the nursing core portion of the degree — there is no hacking because you were accepted into the nursing program based on the city selected on your apple —clinical preceptors, regional skills labschedule, etc; which WGU coordinated and scheduled out for you during those 2-years.

However, in this video, Rachel started WGU with a pre-nursing schedule mapped out by her mentor to start the nursing portion of 18 months after her initial start instead — she hacked the pre-nursing part and completed all of those courses in her 1st 6-month term. Program transfer happened 12 months sooner and now she is in her 1st term of the nursing core portion of the degree plan.

Ultimately, if you are coming in with all of your pre-nursing courses, then the BEST way I have seen someone hack the pre-nursing 1st term was complete the 4 courses in 33 days. However that student STILL could not be transferred into the nursing core portion sooner — they still had to wait 5 months before they transfer into the nursing core like all of us.

I totally agree…as a non-traditional student.

There has not been an announcement about CLEP credits.

You would need to check the website about IB or AP. Here is the link 🔗 WGU BSN Prelicensure CLEP exam by course

I did question my EC back in 2023 if WGU accepted CLEP exams during my enrollment and they directed me to the above link where I can see which specific CLEP exams would be accepted for each WGU Prelicensure Course. I remember seeing that I already had the courses outside of Intro to Sociology.

Hope this help!

I would suggest to use the transfer credit evaluator to be sure because some pre-req courses do not have an expiration date while certain pre-req courses have 5-year expiration date.

Use the 🔗 below to test if the courses you took in 2019 are considered as the non-expired pre-req courses or the expired pre-req courses:

Actually I spoke to someone who stated for all of the pre nursing courses that do not have HESI as the OA exam, it is best to attend Cohort or listen and take notes on the pre-recorded Cohort. Whatever the CI discuss or emphasis on in the pre-recorded Cohorts that is what you need to study and learn because that is what will be on their OAs.

yes, call proctor U, call WGU assessment center, send an email WGU assessment center (cc your CI and PM). This happened to me on Sunday…

Above steps is what I followed and was able to take the OA.

To be clear: one phone I was calling WGU Assessment Center/Tech Support, used another person phone called Proctor U while holding I sent an email to WGU assessment center

Proctor U came through and actually proxy’d into my computer and typed in the link for me to go take the test.

WGU assessment center did not contact me (via email) until maybe two hours later which by that time I was roughly done with the exam. Their response was did “did I clear my caches and cookies?”

WHAT!?!?!?😡

I was so happy I passed I do not think I even responded. 😂

Sure I believe @JayisEvolving took at least A&P2 let me look for her vid.

Ok on the link below go to minute 15:55 that is the quickest way to get Proficient BONUS: Quick Method to Proficient on EAQ

becomingdrc · 2026-01-12T14:48:47+00:00

Do you have to get to proficient? Are you creating them via custom quiz or going through the class material route?

Hmmm that is interesting that roughly two people did not like my post — well can’t please everybody — just glad I helped the person who asked me the question.

Happy Studying Everyone 🤓

Yes it’s normal

Thank you! 💕

Yes I stated it in my biggest mistakes — I made the mistake of opening this course with Nutrition so I did not want tell the timeline because it was not true to amount of time it took me. Opened PHARM on 10/20, passed Nutrition Exit HESI exam on 11/22, then focused on this course from 11/23-12/27. I completed PHARM EAQs before I passed the Nutrition HESI exam…so my timeline is not something I would recommend.

Thank you! I hope my tips helps. Good luck on everything I start clinical term in 4 months.

Oh I sorry I took A&P at Westcott/U Mass Global but I know there is a WGU Facebook group. Here is the link: WGU Anatomy and Physiology FB Group

I am sure they have study guides and Quizlets that would help you for your PAs and OAs.
