i want to do this

Are you talking about RN-BSN?

WGU is great, if you are a self directed learner. I did my BSN in less than one term. However, if you need oversight and deadlines and structured work to help you learn the material, it can be difficult to get through the program.

How long did it take you to complete? How many of your classes were electives. Far as reflecting back, what are some tips you could give me so that I could be more successful in this program. Or what would have made things easier for you. @thecommuter

The major one reason I went with wgu for my bsn was no stupid discussion posts, no group projects, no required loging in so many times. It's all self paced. I would say one thing is to set deadlines for yourself or else it can be hard to stay motivated. I am probably the laziest student out there and will let a week go by if I don't set deadlines for myself and make sure I stick to them. I finished in about 11 months which is actually pretty long as I saw a lot of people wiz by and finish in less then 6 months. I would say 5-10 months is about the average to finish.

Wgu has zero electives. There's a set program to complete. No choices.

No electives- no required discussions an d NO group projects!

(I'm in a DNP program right now that has required weekly deadlines and discussion - arghhhh...... I'm so spoiled by WGU!)

It took me 18 months to complete 37 credits. I could have easily done it in 12 months, but I basically blew off 80% of one whole term.

I did 47 credits in 14 months. Most people take 2 terms (8 -12 months) from what I read on the FB page. I had pell grant so my OOP costs was less than 5k

I completed WGU's online RN-to-BSN program in March 2015 and loved it.

1. There were no discussion board posting requirements.

2. There were no minimum log-on requirements.

3. The delivery format is asynchronous and self-paced. One person can complete the program in a few months whereas another person can take an entire 18 months to complete it if needed.

4. The deadline to complete a course is at the end of each 6-month term. There are no weekly assignment submissions.

Do you need to be working as an RN for clinical portion?

You do not need to utilize your employment to complete the community health practicum. However, you do need to be working to be accepted into the program, as they expect you to draw upon your work experiences to assist you with your classes.
