Hello! I am looking into this program as well and wondering whether their proctored exams or assessments are hard. Also, is there a capstone class for which you have to write a big paper or a thesis? Thank you!

It's hard to say if the papers and tests are hard, because it depends on what you know and how you learn. The BSN program does not require a capstone, but you do get to put together a portfolio.

When describing something as 'hard,' keep in mind that it is always one's subjective opinion. To me, the proctored assessments did not have a high level of difficulty. I passed them all on the first attempt. The school does not require that high of a passing cut score for exams.

While I did not think the exams were 'hard,' another student might come along and think they were difficult.

As others have said "hard" is subjective. Are the exams challenging? Yes. Are they achievable? Definitely. If you don't know the material you will have to study and learn it. If you know the material you will test through quicker. That's competency based.

Honestly, I don't think there is any such thing as an "easy" RN to BSN program.
