Grand Canyon RN-BSN

[tokmom]

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?

Beauty, check your pm

Hey Rob et al., did you know there is a GCU FB site that you can check to see if LC is down?

I have to say, with all the "fun" of CLCs I love GCU! I really look at this board as you would the school hallway where you commiserate about assignments/teachers, etc, but you know deep down that there are really good things going on at your school. The teacher I have now has been more instructive than anyone so far, and talk about easy to approach!!! All I got to say is that even with the little hiccoughs.....Go 'lopes!

Thank you for your thoughts. I think I am scared. And because of it, I AM reading too much into your comments. Putting it into perspective, you are just venting....not unhappy. I see that now.

I am scared but the only way to know if I can do this is to give it a try.

I feel very supported here and by my new counselor. I need to relax!

I needed to hear your thoughts. Back on the donkey trail this am!

Felicity is a bit worried about Fred and his antics,also. But have discussed

some strategies! :)

I am bowing out.. even tho I got a super counselor.. I am not willing to put up with the daily headaches you all have.

I don't mean to generalize.. but more that not.. professors are not answering questions, reporting grades in a timely fashion.. they claim to have high standards but that should be for both the student and professor.

I don't know how your situation is like, but I would like to encourage you to stay. I graduated. In May, at the end it was all worth it. You can always call the professors. You can find the contact number in the roll call list.

Thank you! I was over thinking everything. Congratulations on your BSN!

I have the urge to go school supply shopping! Not sure if I really need anything but the computer! Do you find you need a scanner or fax? I just have an inkject printer. Those 3 in 1's are not that costly anymore.

Hi pinkpetunia, you need either a laptop or a desktop. I used a laptop, in that way I was able to complete some of the assignment at work whenever circumstances allowed me. All what you need for DQs is the electronic lecture and the ebooks. I used the library a lot because the information is usually more current.

Thanks Owe! Is there any advantage to hooking up a lap top to a desk top to have two screens? I do have both.

[Owethu123]

Great, go get your BSN, it is worth it! Get all those points in your DQs to keep your GPA above 3.5. A high GPA comes in handy when you apply for your MSN or BSN-DNP, because schools do not need GRE scores if the GPA is above 3.50.

Good Luck.

PS. Yes it helps, I use to use my I pad, kindle, and laptop at the same time. I would open my ebooks on one device, navigate the library on the other, and while using the laptop to write my papers.

[pinkpetunia]

Thanks Owe, I will hook them up or whatever I need to do so I can research on one, write on the other.....

If you leave more responses, does it help your grade? I think I will be ok with the discussion response requirements.

It is the big APA papers that scare the bee-geez's out of me!

[Owethu123]

Get Perrla for APA. Use the library for your assignment so that your argument will be more persuasive. I know you can do this. When you are ready to do your capstone PM me.
