RN-BSN papers

Published

Hi Everyone,

I am starting the RN-BSN program at WGU in September and I was wondering about how many research papers are required for the program and if you know what classes those are for. Writing is my weakness and I am really dreading that. Thanks in advance!

Each class has anywhere from 2-4 tasks to complete the course, and the tasks might be papers, powerpoint presentations, or proctored exams. There are quite a few papers in the program.

The good news about the papers:

1) You are provided the grading rubric before you begin to write. You know EXACTLY what is expected in the paper.

2) IF for some reason you don't pass on the first attempt- you can use the feedback provided to make corrections and resubmit without penalty.

3) The school has AMPLE writing resources for you to use- including webinars, 1:1 help with writing mentors and more.

Thank you both for your response! I am glad to know that they will have a straight forward rubric for the papers. Thanks again!

Yes, absolutely. I second what Maryjean said. Write your paper following the rubric to a T. Write your headings to be titled what the rubric titles are. The times I didn't pass on the first time was almost always due to not following the rubric.
