Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

Nursing Students School Programs Nursing Q/A

Howdy all, I bit the bullet and after much research, I decided on Grand Canyon! Wow, I did not expect BSN schools to be like used car salesmen--hounding me by emails and phone calls. Rather impressed on how Grand Canyon sort of left me alone, but at the same time kept in touch.

Commence my first class Sept 30th, excited, yet very nervous, as I'm not a big fan of school, LOL! I did extremely well on my Associate degree, graduated back in 2009 from Northern Virginia Community College. We shall see.

Would love to hear from past and present Grand Canyon RN to BSN students.

Did anyone doubled up classes? Which ones do you recommend? I am finishing stat right now and will be taking research next. I was thinking in taking some of the classes together to graduate sooner. Any suggestions?

I just doubled up on Family and Ethics. It was tough. Ethics has a 2 part CLC paper that is worth 550/1000 points. I ended up with 3 CLC projects because of this. Felt like I lived on my computer for 5 weeks. Still ended up with A's in both. Right now I am in Leadership and I would definitely recommend choosing this class along with another for doubling because there is no CLC in Leadership.

Is there anyone out there that can HELP me with the Applied Statistics for Health Care Professionals at GCU. Just starting week 2 and really struggling. I have reached out to other classmates but have not gotten any replies. Any help would be appreciated. I have done great with all the other classed but this one is a struggle!

I am starting week 2, need help!!! What do you recommend? I have tried to get a group together with no replies as well as reaching out to classmates from past classes. I have signed up for a tutor this week. But I am not sure what else to do. This is so foreign. Any help would be appreciated!

Go to YouTube and type in HLT 362V in the search bar, and look for the ones by tina. She's a Stats instructor @ GCU and has given at least a little help on how to do the excel spreadsheets. Be careful though, I think I remember a couple of her videos being old and not the current assignments.

Other than that, sadly, you're stuck with the beloved workbook. I would do *every*single* practice exercise (hide those answers!), then check my work, see which ones I got wrong, try to figure out WHY I got it wrong, and then move on to the real problems. Luckily the real questions mimick the practice ones almost indentically so that's a little comforting.

I'm so sorry, I wish there was more out there, it's just a matter of diving in, getting tutor help, asking instructor questions (although mine was of ZERO help), and hanging on for dear life until day 35!

I made my for SURE decision this weekend that I am not not not going to double up on anything. This paper wasn't even a killer, but as I sat there (all weekend) composing, and looking at the clock worrying I might not actually get it done, it hit me, "what the heck was I thinking, if I had doubled up, I'd have TWO of these due tonight!" :eek:

Nope. No way. I can't do it. I bow to the ones that can, but I dont have it in me. I'm stretching it as it is by cancelling all my 2-week breaks, that's enough for me right now. So, looks like March it is!

I think you will find March will get here fast enough! Kudos for knowing what is best for you. Can't wait to celebrate with you in March (mine will probably be closer to July because I'm taking so many breaks...but hey that is less than a year away!)

I doubled up on Trends and Leadership. It was alright. Busy, but doable. granted I don't have a family of a significant other that requires my time. I just had to think about work and school.
