RN to BSN program: need help with EBP course

TheCommuter, BSN, RN · Jul 16, 2015

At this point, unless you act quickly, it looks certain that you'll be entering a third term because students must submit assignments a minimum of 10 days prior to the official end of the term.

What is it about the EBP course that is giving you problems?

While they advise that assignments should be submitted 10 days before the end of the term, the reality is that if the stars are perfectly aligned (it gets picked up for grading within a day or two, and you have no revisions) it can still be submitted a few days before the end of the term. I don't advise that as a general practice, but I want to give you hope that you can still pull this off.

Have you reached out to the course mentor? If not? I recommend you do that posthaste.

Thank you, I needed this truth be told. I just have to face reality and suck it up.

Again, what is it about the EBP course that has you baffled? If you tell us where you are struggling, maybe we could help. The course is not as difficult as it seems.

/agree.. I did it in about 5 days and that was with the old three task version. You can do this! Let us know what your sticking point is..

I finished the EBP course earlier this year in about two weeks. It was the newer version that consists of two tasks. I had to revise and resubmit Task 1 due to picky TaskStream graders, but the course is not as difficult as it is made out to be.

You can lead a horse to water ... Perhaps the OP will return.

Reach out to your course mentor, or (better yet) reach out to people here by describing what specifically is holding you back.

What you don't want to be doing is wasting time stressing. That's gets people nowhere.

Guaranteed, there are people out there who had the same problems, it's often just a small thing or a small organizational mishap you don't even realize you've got happening.

You can do it.

Thank you all for your comments. In retrospect, I realized that stress was the problem. I am a novice nurse and I work at night. I have not yet adapted to this schedule (but am working on it). I am happy to say that I submitted task one on the 17th and it was sent back for revision :/. I proceeded to work on task two and submitted that on the 21st. My revised task one was submitted on the 22nd. I got a pass on both papers the 23rd. For anyone attending WGU, I'd start with the harder classes or more time consuming classes (community health and evidence based practice) at the beginning of the term. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
