ABSN GCU new program

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 am in the process of applying now. I wouldn't be starting until January 2021 though due to all the pre-reqs

I also won’t start till January of 2021! Are you by chance going to need a roomate?

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.

Hi! Are you starting May 2021 for Tucson location? I’ve also been given conditional acceptance and I’m in the process of registering for pathophysiology & the Christian class as well.

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.

oh OK got it!  Couldn’t remember. No! I’m looking into the Tucson location for May 2021 start. I need to start the pathophysiology and Christian worship classes. I just came here to find anyone else going through the same process! 

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?

Yes, patho is required for a pre req! And no letters of recommendation.

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
