    Yes, jcnichols, it is possible to finish the RN to BSN in six months. You have way less credits to complete than I did (55 credits). It all depends on how fast you want to finish, your mentor (mine...

    CLUVRN replied to CLUVRN's topic in Western Governors University

    To piggy back on what The Commuter said, the enrollment process can be fairly quick or slow depending on how fast you get all your documents in. I had all my documents in by Feb 2015 and started April...
