WGU, Who else is starting with me

Published

So I made the decision to go with WGU for my BSN and everything is all set to start on February 1st. Just wondering who else is starting in February? Or anyone the started in the recent months let me know how its going. :-) I have a nervous/excited energy about starting. Im hoping to be done by the end of 2014 and have 33CU's to go.

I just moved my start date to March 1st...... ugh

I should have my intake interview some time this week, hoping to start the RN to BSN program March 1st. I believe I need 34 CU's, so we are in the same ballpark......congrats to you on this endeavor, I know I'm nervous!

I hope to start April 1st. They are currently reviewing my transcripts, I am anxious to see how many CU I need to complete. I am planning on doing it in 2 terms, I just can't commit to trying to finish in 1 term. My life is already crazy enough, lol.

I'm hoping to start April 1st too. Depends how fast I can get my nclex done. I might be looking at may 1st more realistically but here's hoping.

Hello, I started RN to BSN Jan 1. I'm finishing up the Health Assessment and Applied Assessment now. My mentor has been awesome as well as the course mentor's thus far. A lot of infor in the Assessment class. Been an ICU nurse for 9yrs, so I kinda got focused on certain things and forgot a lot of things. Have no complaints so far. Keep me in the loop. Always good to have group vent and chat with.

I got my degree plan and it is spread out over 2 years!!! I picked WGU because I heard it was the quickest...hmmmmm... Also just finished their onine orientation. They want a spreadsheet with 20 hours a week dedicated to this. Is this true??? I went to excelsiior on 10 hrs a week, and was planning on doing the same. At my rate it should take me 4 years..OMG... LOL Someone tell me if they really need 20 hours a week for this??? thanks

That's just suggested, at a rate of 12CU/term. You can go as fast as you can, although if you plan on accelerating it will definitely take 20 hours a week. I did my two year plan in only a bit over three months (!), but I probably did 30-40 hours a week working on it. Most people finish in a year or so, some much less and some more. It's up to you as to how much time you want to spend.

oh thanks. Yes some weeks I can spend 30 hours, but some I dont have 10. They wanted a speadsheet with 20 hours worked in and it made me nervous..... thanks for the quick response.
