Hi... I have been in this program since 2010 and have not had any issues. Coursework is completed through Blackboard, where a lot of the work is discussion boards and papers. Since the program is considered "writing intense", there are a lot of paper submissions, esp when you reach the 500 level courses (MSN part). There is one clinical to complete in the bridge portion and that is community health, which you have to find your own preceptor and complete the assigned number of hours (which I cannot remember, but it is not a crazy amt & was not difficult). Each semester has an A and B portion, that are each 8 weeks long. Due to this, you are considered FT even if you only take 2 classes/semester (which is good for financial aid reasons). Once you are finished the 400 & 500 level courses, you have 7, 600 level courses. Of those, 4 of the classes have mandatory on campus workshops, where you have to actually go on campus in WA. From what I hear, it is two weekends per semester x 4 (8 total). I have to start next summer, so I am not sure about advice from that point; although, I have not heard many negative things. I have to admit, overall, it has been flexible for me. Good luck whatever you choose!
