Hi there!

I an hoping to start the program possibly in sept 1st, waiting on my transcript eval, id appreciate any tips!

Hey Alan,

Thanks for joining the convo. I dont have a whole lot of tips for you yet since I haven't quite started yet but I will keep you posted. Once you get your eval back I encourage you to question anything that doesn't look right. I didn't have any issues with my eval but it seems they are willing to look into it for you.

I've done a lot of research on WGU, but I'm still not 100% sure on what the main draw. Does everyone go in with pipe dreams of finishing in 6 months? Once you go beyond 6 months, you can probably find a local state school that is just as cheap. Are the classes supposed to be easier?

It doesn't sound like people are learning that much. I watched a Youtube vid where a guy is finishing a course with no prior knowledge of the course in days. You can't pass a class like that in a traditional school. It sounds like being spoonfed exactly what is on the test and then taking the test.

I start 5/1/20, I am starting at 69.1% complete. I was told I need to complete 12 modules? They don't use credits? Its confusing. I was told I need two 6 month semesters but I want to finish in 6 months.

Hello!

I'm in the planning phase of applying to WGU's RN to BSN. I have a question for anyone that has started or is starting. Do you know much yet, or have you heard, about difficulty in locating a site for the clinical assignments? Specifically for an RN not currently working. The program no longer requires you to be employed, but I'm worried about finding a location. I'm wondering how complicated that process will be. Any info on that? Thanks
