Loved the program! I completed my RN to BSN in 4 months while working full time. It was tough, and I spent every waking moment driven to succeed. I appreciated the feedback from taskstream, and toward the end, was passing every paper on the first attempt. My mentor was terrific, and I cannot thank her enough for the continued motivation. Thank you, WGU! See you in a couple of months for my MSN! By the way, I just accepted a MUCH higher paying job!!!!!!

Not a Fan The mentor I have now gets angry if you ask her questions about the assignments, and seems to not even be aware of what the course of study instructions are saying. It is frustrating because when you have questions, good luck finding someone to answer them. For instance, two days ago I called my mentor, no response, then I called my course mentor, no response. Then I called the two other course mentors, no response. I tried my course mentor again, no response. The ruberics are vague, and misleading.

RN to BSN This has been a great program! It has been extremely relevent to issues that I see and deal with on a daily basis as a hospital RN. It is self paced which is great for my rotating shifts. It has also been $10,000 cheaper than three other BSN programs in my area all which required in class time that I could not commit to. I have referred five friends in two months because of how great this university is. But be advised if you are a procrastinator and not self disciplined this program is not for you.

For those motivated self directed students I just completed 13 classes and subsequently my RN to BSN program at WGU. This is not a cake walk that is for sure. There is a lot of work to be completed. The model is very independent. You need to take charge of your education. I was able to complete all the requirements in 8 months. Way faster than could do anywhere else and the cost is way reasonable. If you need structure, deadlines, and handholding.... WGU is not for you.

Stick to tradition schools. I have been enrolled in the program for three months. I am not on my third mentor. The assignments are vague and sometimes confusing. It has been very difficult to get answers to questions as my mentors have not known the answers themselves and obviously are not familiar with the courses. There are course facilitators who also do not know the course work. It is very painful to try and get any answers and information from anyone. Think twice and look into programs elsewhere.
