Grand Canyon RN-BSN

Published

Is there any updated information? I have been in heavy contact with them and am looking at taking their RN-BSN program. I work with a GCU grad and she has nothing but positive things to say, but I want more opinions. ?

Any pro's and cons? Thankfully the only class I'm missing is stats and that is offered in the actual BSN program. I'm a bit nervous as my algebra skills are way old. If anyone took this class, do you have any advice?

Specializes in ICU/ Surgery/ Nursing Education.

Paper length: Never kept them within length except for one class because she would dock. I hated it because everything I wanted to say had value, lol. I would clear it with the instructor on day one if they were picky about word count. Many were not. The capstone has a max of 5000 and I edited down to 6500 from 8 and some change.

Handed in the paper at around 1800 words. I cut so much from it to get to this point. I will have to work on this, but I too believe my words have value. I never have been told I am wordy, it is all content.

Just did the library webinar. Whoa....so many links and search options. Suspect I may be calling them a time or two!

I would like a donkey named Felicity.

Use the chat with librarian. Tell them what you want and they send the link

It's difficult to stay within the guidelines and meet the syllabus. It wasn't unusual of me to go over by a 1000.

Just clear with instructor and then you should be ok.

Well since we're going with a "F" name theme, I was thinking the name Flip was pretty cool. Then I realized naming my transportation down a canyon, Flip, was probably not a good idea.

Like the new donkeys. Fred does get a little frisky though..... Felicity may need to watch out.

That'll make one heck of a ride down the canyon, lol

I think he looks like a designer donkey with his pretty markings

Fred may need a rear view mirror, to watch out for Flip's antics or you will be late for skool, Rainyn. My Felicity is a distant relative of George Washington's donkey. Raised to be very proper so Fred better be a gentleman!

This is what happens if Fred doesn't mind his manners and Felicity is a loose donkey..
