Questions

Currently I am in a ADN program and looking to go to WGU shortly after graduation for the RN to BSN program. I am active duty Air Force stationed in FL working in an ophthalmology clinic, and hope to stay this way until I get my BSN.

One of the application requirements is "Applicants must be working in a position that requires use of nursing knowledge and expertise at the time of application and enrollment" do you think my job would satisfy this requirement (Currently I assist the surgeon in surgeries)? Also what is the reasoning for this, do you need mentors at work to sign off on tasks or something?

The other question I have is am I able to complete this program from the comfort of my home? For example it says proctored exams are those done by web cam or at a facility?

    Although I don't work for WGU, I believe your position would be perfectly acceptable. There is at least one "leadership" project in the BSN that is supposed to be a 'work' related project, although it does not absolutely HAVE to be. Your supervisor would sign off on it.

    As for the tests, they can be taken at a testing site OR you can take them with a webcam at your home. So yes, pretty much everything can be done at home.

    Although it's in the process of changing, there's also a 90 hour community health practicum that is done in your community. You research a health/prevention related topic in your area and do interviews, etc, to write this project.

    Exactly what they said. WGU has been the best decision I have made in regards to my education. Literally worth EVERY penny. Good luck on your journey!
