Thinking seriously about RN to BSN

mind_body_soul RN · Nov 4, 2014

I need 40 and was told 3.5 terms if I do the minimum hours per term. My enrollment counselor thinks I can realistically complete 40 CUs in 2 terms because I have done 18-19 hours in a semester at previous schools.

I started with 47CUs to complete. I would likely go faster if I didn't have a toddler at home. It really is going at your own pace. It is entirely possible to complete in one term but 2 terms is more likely. Really depends on how you manage your time and what other responsibilities you have.

I did 50 in just over 1/2 a term. It's really up to you, that's what's awesome about WGU. :)

I started in May with 34 CUs to complete. Before my first term had ended on November 1st, I had completed 27 CUs. I would say that completion of 43 CUs is doable in two terms if you are motivated. One of our extremely motivated forum members completed 50 CUs in 3.5 months.

I did 37 units in the maximum time allotted (plus 1, at 12 units per term), which was 18 months. And this was with a lot of procrastination. I think you should be able to easily do 43 units in 18 months, or 12 months if you really stay on top of things, allot several hours each week where you submit one task per week, and do not take time off or procrastinate.
