Any type of clinical requirement?

[haunani, BSN, RN]

I'm doing some homework as I may have to find a new RN-to-BSN program due to OU changing their residency requirements while I was taking a break (waiting to hear back their decision on that).

WGU interests me due to how I would be able to go at my own pace.

Is there any type of clinical component to it that would make it difficult for a night-shifter to complete?

The only clinical component is a 90 hour Community Health practicum. I work nights and was able to complete no problem because you arrange it yourself (NOT hard to do once you pick a topic of focus) If you start CH at the beginning of a term- you have 5+ months to get that 90 hours in.

I worked three to four 12-hour night shifts per week and was able to complete the RN-to-BSN program without any major issues.

Is there any type of clinical component to it that would make it difficult for a night-shifter to complete?

Are the 90 hours on-site clinical time or is it the research portions, you, as other posts have implied?

I live out in the country and have 2 small children, so I'd love it if I didn't have to spend all my daytime hours somewhere else.

The 90 hours are not onsite clinical. You have to research/study some type of community health issue/intervention. The 90 hours are comprised by interviews, shadowing, being out in the community.
