This has probably asked and answered, butplease humor me. I'll be starting the RN to BSN program at WGU soon. I need to take biochemistry and statistics. I'm a little nervous about those. Can you tell me what to expect of these classes in an online format please?

Starting soon myself, and was wondering the same thing. You might find this face book group helpful:

I found a lot of good information there...

I am not taking biochemistry yet but statistics was pretty easy for me. It is a basics statistics course and there is help from course mentors etc if needed

I didn't have to take Stats, but I just finished biochemistry. It took me one week. Supposedly, it's laid out much better than it was when they first launched the test-out version (prior to that it was hands-on tasks). There are 5 modules that you work your way through, they have textbook material, pictures, and videos. I took very detailed notes while doing each module, and I was able to test out the first time without any problems.
That said, most of the material was simply review from my A&P courses that I took 4 years ago, so the material was still fairly fresh in my mind. I imagine if your A&P courses were taken 15+ years ago, then it would be much more difficult.
