WGU RN to BSN STUDENTS

Published

Those of you who completed the RN to BSN online in 6 months, can you give me the timeline so I can pace myself to complete in 6 months, I am not working now so I can dedicate 40 hours a week. Thanks

I have not attended but have looked into it. A lot depends on the number of credits you need. Did you transfer credits to the program? I've heard of some folks completing it in 6 months. Just know you won't receive higher than a 3.0 if that's important to you. Would love to hear what others have to say. I was all set to enroll until I learned it would not be accepted by the NP program I'm going to apply to. Good luck!

The timeline is up to you.

Some of the classes are much easier than others, so it just depends on how quickly you want to work and what subjects come easier to you.

I have one class and my practicum left, and then I am done. I plan to start my practicum next week, finish the other class by November 15th, and hope to be eligible for graduation by December 1.
