GCU Fast Track BSN program - what to expect?

[eschroedero]

Hey all!

I've just recently received my acceptance letter in to GCU's Fast Track BSN Program and am wanting feedback from students who have completed the program or are currently in it. More speficically what to expect as far as hours and how the course schedule pans out?

And if you were able to work while completing the program?

I currently work part time at a hospital and need to keep my job here while in school but am concerned about time constraints and hours.

Thanks for any feedback or input!

What do you mean you have to wait? What board? I found out that Chandler/Gilbert gives the Teas and I am going to take it very soon. Just hard sense I have classes, and fridays are test days. The classes so far are very good, laid back but cut and dry on what to do. Now it is only my first week, but classes are 8 weeks long and I love that fact, plus we get to cut on REAL cadavers which is soooooooooooooo cool to me! LOL I am in Patho as well, its 16 weeks tho, but either way all is okay! If I can handle 19 credits this fast I know that I will be okay in the fast track! I wish you all luck but I still dont know what you are talking about MTTMPE...

I was talking about two boards. The military board (NECP) meets in May 2010 and the GCU board around the sametime. I will miss both boards. I won't be back from IRAQ until Oct 10. The military won't take spring apps. So I have to wait a whole year. Are you taking patho with GCU? if so how is the work load?

Ohhh the Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program thats cool, you trying to go to Grand Canyon or whatever is first? So far work load is not bad a few readings a night, and a few 100 word papers, and a few answer this or thats! LOL Patho is scary but the teacher is super nice, and explains everything to our level! But mostly you do not have homework on weekends, and most tests are fridays, some quizs might fall on monday but not likely... So weekends are yours! LOL
