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?

Oh boy Toki.. I am sorry for being a ****.... I am in awe of you and the support you provide for this site?

Are you ok? That sounds like way too much for a person to maintain?

Where do you live? I could meet where you are to help... or we could meet in the middle and have a respite?

. I have support here, I have seasoned nurses who are stable, smart and engaged in their education.

Support? Why yes. Seasoned??? Can't say yes, just graduated with my ADN less than 6 months ago. Only seasoning I have I apply to my various smoked meats!!!downing_shots-2129.gif

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

Don't know what you mean about perfectionist...... You are talking to a guy that reworked his first paper so that the turnitin score would be under 10 even though the 15 was perfectly acceptable... Was that extra 6 points necessary???? NOOOOOOo.....no-1012.gifno-883.gifno-890.gif

I would see it as always doing the best I can within reason. If I have time I will always do more, but like last night I chose to take my daughter to miscellaneous houses begging for candy instead of rewriting the paper due tomorrow.... Put everything in perspective, do your best but accept a 98% every once in a while.lol-1074.giflol-1074.giflol-1074.gif

So for this CLC project I have one of those crazy type A personalities, but I think she might just be crazy. She jumped on the ball within seconds of the assignment and took charge. She filled out the CLC agreement, but I don't know if she gets it. She wants someone (me) to assign tasks to each group member before we even pick a subject, outline, or anything....... Well.... Okay......

Slow down, Miss Type A.. we are going to decide on a topic and divide it when we know what we are researching... She perhaps wants to take over the project? If so she can assign tasks.. but how does one do so without a group topic???

Exactly... I'll let her take charge though. I will do my 4 pp pages and smile...... I could use a little break from saving the world and every ones grade.......

rob - you're doing the HP2020 ppt, for this class, yes? Let me give you a little tip that became a sticking point for me in this project: The assignment description doesn't match the rubric. Numbers 6 & 7 on the assignment description use the words "at least", yet the rubric uses the words "more than". If you go with the assignment description's "at least" and just do that, you are automatically starting from the 3-dot position on the rubric (to get a 4 or 5-dot score you need to do "more than"). So, take it from me, insist that your group provide a brief description of THREE community resources, THREE website resources, and TWO health related organizations.

This was a lesson-learned on the importance of reading the rubric with an electron microscope, dissecting it, and combining the rubric's actual language onto the outline so ALL information was in one place and each student knew not only what the assignment description was for their part, but how they would be graded for that part. A process I continued throughout my outlining/assigning tasks career, `cause there's aaaaalways someone who ain't gonna read that rubric and their piece comes up short on a Saturday...and guess who gets to fill in the missing stuff?

I'm peachy because I choose to be. Life could be worse. ;)

Well, that's interesting. I admit, I was one of those milliseconds filler-outers of the agreement, however I never assigned anything until we knew what we were doing. At least she is gung ho!!

You know, people seem to read either one or the other. The instructor would preach the rubric, so you know they were not abiding by the important dot system.
