WGU RN to BSN

Hey everyone,

I did a search on this subject on allnurses and came up with ooooolllllllldddd threads. I might have missed a newer one, and if I did, I apologize.

I'm an LPN with 9 years experience, and I'm 2 quarters away from finishing my ADN right now, so I've been looking into BSN options. WGU sounds pretty good- no clinicals (I loathe clinicals), you can work at your own pace, they're accredited, and it sounds like they're pretty generous about transfer credits (I have a fair amount of prior coursework). Also, the cost for a year at WGU is cheaper than for a year at the state universities where I live. I'm just wondering if any of you have done it and, if so, what you think about it?

(Just to get this out of the way, yes, I'm motivated, and no, I'm not one of those people who needs a lot of hand-holding from instructors and peers. I've done online courses before, and they worked pretty well for me. I much prefer them to sitting in a class for three hours, listening to someone read from a powerpoint.)

Thanks for reading! I'd love to hear any thoughts and/or advice anyone might have about this.

    You must not be looking in the correct forum. The WGU forum is very active, with LOTS of recent threads. It's a sub-forum of the "Online programs"

    We have moved this thread to the Western Governors Online Nursing forum with the goal of accruing replies from those who have attended the school.

    I completed the online BSN program earlier this month. It took me 10 months to get through 34 credits and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the affordability.
