Current WGU RN-BSN Students- Review

[FlipfloppinRN, BSN, RN]

I am trying to decide between going back to Walden (6 classes=34 credits left) which will take me about a year to complete and around $11K ($1000 over what tuition reimbursement will cover) or to transfer to WGU. I am on the fence about returning to Walden because they have increased their tuition, I dislike the discussion boards and the endless amount of papers. The discussion boards seem like a never ending process. You post a response, reply to 3 other responses, and have to reply to each person that responds to your post.

I have been accepted to WGU and only have the background check and intake interview left. I will have 34 credits to take at WGU. I do not want to pay for the background just yet since I have not decided on attending WGU.

Any current WGU RN-BSN students out there? How far are you in the program? Are you liking the self-paced, competency based program? What type of competences have you had to complete for the classes? How long is it taking you to complete a class? How long do you think it will take for you to complete the program?

Thanks in advance for the info

I am almost done with WGU I have three classes left. I like it because I can go a fast as like or if I need more time due to having six month terms. It takes some getting used to having a student mentor since they unlock classes and test but they pretty much give all the tools and info to complete classes to pass. It will take me a year or less. Classes can go as fast as you can do the work.

I'm not currently enrolled, just finished in May so recently. There are a lot of papers, but no discussion boards. I finished 40 credits easily in 10-11 months. You have to be self motivated and effective self learner to succeed. The set up is not at all like a traditional college program, and some people don't do well with it. You need to be focused and driven, no ones going to prod you along and you need to set your own pace and deadlines if you are lo
