GCU ABSN 2023

I’m hoping to start at the Sun City location in January 2023! I highly recommend taking pathophysiology at Rio Salado if you’re looking for a cheaper option than GCU. It’s a community college in Arizona that offers courses online, and I know it transfers! I took 2 pre reqs through them and there’s even an option to finish the course in 8 weeks.

I recommend using nursehub and the elsiver study guide to prepare for the HESI! I used nursehub only to study for the anatomy portion and scored a 98%. I studied for maybe 2 weeks. Elsiver is a good review for the math portion. I liked that it was short/straight forward, and it covered everything I saw on the test.

*For anyone missing Chemistry, anatomy, or lifespan development, Rio Salado offers those courses too! 

Here are the courses/what they’re as at Rio Salado that transfer over to GCU: 

Chemistry and lab CHM130/CHM130L

Anatomy BIO202

Pathophysiology HCR240

Lifespan development PSY240

I’m not sure if they offer something for nutrition or Microbiology.

Similar situation. Other than taking CWV, I have to take Nutrition, Stats all over again because my credits expired. I had no idea that these classes were only 8 weeks thru GCUs online program and they offered a reduced tuition rate. Hope y'all make into the January core. Food for thought: to speed up the process quicker, best to get fingerprint clearance and background checks before the holidays.

Hi!

I am also hoping to start Spring 2023 in the Sun City location. I'm taking Nutrition and Patho through study.com and will start CWV in a few weeks ? 

Have any of you doing Spring 2023 done or gotten your fingerprint card? Just wondering how long it took? 

I did mine a while back and it took a few weeks. I would definitely do it as soon as possible because you can run into delays. Hope this helps!

Have any of you started the secondary application for Spring 2023 yet?

I am new to all this I didn't know we had to do fingerprints. Thanks for this

Hi! With using Study.com, did you say you are taking Microbiology there too? Have you taken any classes on study.com that have labs? How did those transfer? Thanks! I am hoping to start Summer or Fall 2023!

Hi! I used study.com for microbio and Pathophysiology and they transferred over perfectly to GCU and I’m starting officially Spring 2023! 

Amazing! Did you have them transfer a letter grade? I need to raise my GPA so the pass wouldn’t help me.. 

Also, we’re they hard going through study.com?

They give letter grades! You get a graded percentage like a regular class and you have them send over the transcript. I definitely think it’s easier than in person since it’s all self paced and u can take the quizzes three times for the best grade and can retake the final! 

Sooo refreshing to hear!! I’m terrified of the micro, I also needing A&P so planning on doing that one too! Hoping I can get them done so I can get into Spring! If not fall start is OK with me.
