Grand Canyon RN-BSN

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.
