ABSN GCU new program

Published

Hello everyone. Grand Canyon University is starting an ABSN program. Has anyone heard much about it or if anyone is applying to the summer semester? There is a Phoenix (Sun City) and Tuscon location. The requirements are the same as the pre-licensure, but this program is for individuals who already have a Bachelor's in a non-nursing degree.

I applied too! To the Tucson location though. I was told the Phoenix location is for those with a bachelors. I got a conditional acceptance. I’m taking Pathophysiology and the Christian class.

The prerequisites need to be a 3.25, but your overall GPA needs to be 3.0! I start this January 2021 at the Phoenix location. I have been fully accepted.

Hi all! I’m going to apply for Summer 2020. Do they need the patho class to be completed at the school? Do they require letters of rec?

Specializes in Supportive mother.

FYI - There’s also a fb group for gcu ABSN Tucson ,  this is another site we can share information. 
 

I would recommend for all that planning to enroll in the program start getting your medical exam clearance form filled out .  All incoming need a 2 step Tb screening or t-spot blood test , MMR & varicella titer test in required , flu shot , current tdap , and proof of hep b series .  
 

Preparing in advance will save u lots of money and time
