Hello Everyone,

I see this is different for everyone; as you work at your own pace, but I want to here from others. I will be graduating this December (2014) with my ADN. I want to start WGU immediately upon passing my NCLEX. I have a job lined up for when I graduate, so no problem there. :)

Anyway, I see I will need BioChem and Statistics. I want to do the RN to MSN in Leadership. Is it possible for me to earn my BSN in the 1st 6 months and MSN in the second 6 months? I am very stubborn and know I will throw myself into it as soon as I start. lol

Any thoughts?

Also, if you have already completed either the BSN or MSN, feel free to vote on the poll below. (:

I voted - it took me 3 terms to complete my BSN, and it will probably take me 3+ terms to finish my MSN (I'm just finishing my second term, and I expect that I will have to go into a 4th term to complete my capstone).

Well that sticks they have made it harder. :( I really want to earn my BSN in 1 term. I would love to earn my MSN in 1 term, but don't mind if that takes a littler longer.

Featherz, Do you know how long sciences are good for? I took A&P 1 Fall 2009 and A&P 2 Spring 2010 and Micro Summer 2010. Will these still be good?

As long as they have a lab component they should be fine. I got credit for my anatomy and lab and I took mine in .. ahem.. 1988. :)

However, if you plan to transfer a statistics course into WGU's BSN program, the transcript evaluation people will only grant credit if the class was taken no more than five years ago. If the statistics course is more than five years old, WGU will require you to take this as a prerequisite.

I think most of the people paying a lot of attention to this forum are current students, so we can only guess at our completion.

lol. I didn't think of that. Good point... :)
