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?

Guys, please be honest.. are most of your fellow students on top of the ball? Current? Ready to learn and share?

I am getting scared as I am getting the message that many are tag a longs.. don't do their own research, etc.

While I am older than dirt.. I just want to make sure I am not babysitting ppl who have no ambition?

i just finished my second CLC and both were great experiences! Everyone was on top of things and ready to do their part. I have no complaints. The students in both of my classes seem to contribute quality responses and I have had no problem understanding their posts. They all seem to be well educated nurses. I thought you had started this week

[tokmom, BSN, RN]

Overall no problems here either. Most people that are back in school are there because they want to be.

And yes they do their own research, however, sometimes it's wasn't I expected.

I can't say a word about carrying people. When I was sick during ethics, my group helped me over the finish line. I did my piece, but they snazzed it up a bit, because having a high fever doesn't make me a great writer, lol.

I also made some good CLC buddies in other classes. It was nice to "see" a familiar face in the CLC and forum.

You seriously need to get over this age thing, pink. I'm not far behind you and I don't look at myself as too old to do anything academic.

When I took my certification course the instructors were in school or graduating with their masters or doctorate degree. All of them were over fifty.

You don't need to be talking yourself out of school and looking for excuses. You will be fine. I was, Pandora was and everyone here, is fine and will graduate.

And yes, your daughters can help you with a power point, but in the meantime practice on your own

[tokmom, BSN, RN]

As for power point decor, my first one was pretty rudimentary, because I had no clue what to do. It was probably four classes in before I started playing with the tool bar and brave enough to experiment

[tokmom, BSN, RN]

And I think we have been very honest which is the part that scares you.

[pinkpetunia]

I am being treated very well by the school. The credits that were being appealed got approval. So I am in good shape and very happy. I am glad I got these ducks in a row before starting. Thanks for all input!

[pinkpetunia]

There are some financial hurdles...also...

Given what scares me, is that I am perfectionist... and want to do well.

[pinkpetunia]

Is the power point due week 8? If so.. I could start now, get started and as tok said.. do what I can..

But my daughters could review at Thanksgiving. If I am the only one who will do the task, well I will

do my best!

[tokmom, BSN, RN]

The classes are five weeks and it's a group project. What I meant was for you to bring up point and start playing with it. Know how to add slides. Change font and add pictures.

[tokmom, BSN, RN]

And your point is??

You are talking too to someone who would check their paper after it was submitted!!

I know for a fact there are a few perfectionists on this forum
