I am starting WGU in September. I have 46 credits to complete. Is it doable in 2 terms? I have no kids at home but work full time. I like a work/ school / life balance however. I am a great test taker and usually am a quick learner.

How many web cam proctored tests are there? What operating systems do they accept?
Can't remember exactly how many, and it depends on what prerequisite classes you have to take. I think 6 in the actual nursing part of the program.
I believe the tests work on Windows and OS X only. I am reasonably technically competent and could not get them to work on Chromebook or Linux, including under WINE. No big deal - I went to a testing center (in my case, the local community college) instead.
Just depends on you. Plenty of people manage that. Some people manage more than that in a single term. Some take longer.
If you have a history of being motivated in school, not a procrastinator, and not a lot of commitments outside of work, you can probably reasonably expect to complete it in 2 terms.

I did 40 credits in 10 months. I work part time, have 2 very busy kids and quite a lot of other time commitments. I worked consistently, but not constantly. Took a month off around the holidays. The very best thing you can do is schedule yourself and stick to it. It is very easy to procrastinate when you don't have scheduled class times or deadlines.

I did it in less than one term - but I'm a crazy person. Two is definitely doable - just don't beat yourself up if something causes a snag and it runs into another term. :)
