WGU Program Question

It's Community Health and unless you live in California, you will complete this in your own location using community resources.

I live in FL and have just completed the orientation to begin WGU's RN to BSN program on 5/1/18. I was very concerned to see that there are 65 clinical hours that are typically done Monday through Friday. They even said that some students who work a Mon-Fri schedule take vacation time to complete the clinical portion. I will be speaking to them about this sometime this week and may reconsider based on this information. I will not take vacation time to complete a degree that won't even give me a raise. I am pretty frustrated about this.

I didn't need to take any vacation time and I worked M-F 9-5. You pick a topic that you can work around your schedule. I did disaster preparation, which allowed me to visit places that were off-hours like fire stations. There is no mandate that the hours cannot be done on weekends, after work, etc - it's all in the topic you pick.

Oh, and they aren't 'clinical' hours, it's more of a community observation and interview project. No patients or clinical at all.
