WGU MSN in 6 months

Updated:   Published

Is it possible to do the MSN educator program in one term 6 months? In a way that's 2 quarters, so it would be 15 units per quarter. If the student is able to handle all the load, is it possible to do in terms of prerequisites of the MSN classes-- are some classes REQUIRED to be taken before taking the next class? I understand that some classes SHOULD be taken before another class, but I want to know if it's possible to take them all at once?

I have heard this from other posters who completed the program so quickly. I find each class comfortable but they offer plenty of material and learning opportunities. Most people who complete so quickly have said they skip or speed through the learning the material and go straight for the task. I do wonder if there is a sense of feeling like you didn't get your money's worth going this route. I'm a bit slower (quite a bit) however I have learned a lot. I like that we have that option.

I currently have my RN (ADN) with plans to start my BSN at WGU as soon as I get approval but since I have the ultimate goal to acquire my MSN (and I am no spring chicken), would it be better to start RN to MSN? Would that be more time efficient?

I am starting my BSN-MSN Leadership track October 1st. I am excited and terrified! Its been over 20yrs since I completed my BSN and I have not been back to school since. I plan on busting my butt and learning as much as I can in the shortest time possible. I would love to hear from anyone who has already started. Any advice or insight about how to approach this without going insane would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I just finished my BSN in 16 months. I accelerated at the beginning but had to slow down due to family issues. I understand WGU and what they require for you to pass the classes. You just need to submit what they are asking you for. I want to enter the BSN to MSN program by January. I am however not sure as to whether to take education or leadership. I noted that they need a 40 hour practicum for the leadership. Can anyone tell me what that is? I am leaning more toward leadership and would like to know what is expected of me. Thank you!

How, was the BSN program? How long did it take you to finish?

Pro's and Con's?
