WGU BSN prelicensure program

Hi all,

Is anyone taking the bsn prelicensure online program from WGU? I'm currently in another nursing program, but it doesn't seem to be a good fit for me so I was looking into WGU. I've heard great things about them and everything seems really interesting.

What the schedule like when it comes to clinicals?

I understand that they go by 6month terms and it's estimated for 2yrs, but has anyone finished earlier than that? What if I happen to finish a few classes earlier, can I move on or do I need to wait for the next term?

Thank you for your help!

    The program just started in SoCal last July so no one has graduated yet. They started another cohort in January and another one in April. The next cohort starts in September. I am in limbo with them because they have not evaluated my transcripts yet. I am disappointed that their website keeps coming up with one change or another. In the beginning, no mention was made about science courses not being more than five years old. If so, I would never have wasted my money applying when I did. Now the website says your science courses have to be recent. I wonder what else will have changed the next time I bother to look at the web site.

    Hi caliotter3,

    I haven't submitted my transcripts yet, but I did speak with an enrollment counselor. My counselor didn't mention that there is a September cohort. He said the next one is in November or December. I think the September cohort might be already set and closed.

    Yes, things keep changing. I'm currently in another nursing program and am looking to switch over to WGU because things keep changing. I guess all the programs are the same when it comes to changing things because of accreditation.

    Good Luck!
