RN-BSN Done!
Are you talking about QLC1 or QMC1? Only advice I can give is do the math lab problems and practice, practice, practice. Also get feedback from the course mentors.

Flexibility with work, WGU's competency model, the accreditation and low cost. I didn't need the brick and mortar model and WGU let me set my own schedule around work and life.

Congrats on your recent ADN degree and RN licensure. I also earned an ADN and waited 6 years until the job market basically forced me to get my BSN. The hospital I work at now requires it within 6 months of hire. It took me 17 months to complete my BSN at WGU. That was going at a steady pace while working. Best wishes!

I bought books the first term for my Humanities class....otherwise all were found online through the course of study or in the WGU library. Exams, or assessments as they call them, depend on the class. For Humanities, Statistics and Algebra I sat at a proctored test center and took them on a computer. My home Internet was not reliable enough to use the WGU issued web cam. The rest of the classes required lots and LOTS of papers to write as your performance assessments. Invest in a good APA format template program. I used Dr. Paper to format my papers. There were also 2 PowerPoint presentations. Everyone has a mentor. You speak weekly at first, then every other after that if you are doing well. Listen to your Mentor's advice....they really do know best. Mine told me not to put Evidence Based Practice and Community Health Nursing/Practicum in the same term and boy was she right! I'd say those were the toughest classes overall. I saved my community health practicum for last. Best of luck to you!

Febuary 1st WGU RN-BSN
I started WGU-BSN program last April. Had to take Algebra, Statistics, Language and Communication Research in addition all to all the BSN nursing classes. I've moved along at a regular pace along with working full time. Hoping to be finished this summer.
