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?

Thats why u need a very good CLC agreement.....and hope the Prof takes that into account.....And do wel on ur papers...so a crappy CLC projects doesn't do much damage,lol

[PrismRN]

So you (or other team members) don't do the slackers part, and just turn it in incomplete? Without that whole piece? And take the Zero-Dot on the rubric?

I haven't had it come to that yet......1 project was terrible....I was not happy with it at all...no 1 else in the group cared..I had a perfect score up until that point.....so did not much care, as a crappy mark wasn't going to bring my score down much...and I knew the prof was a fair marker.

That is something you have to discuss with the prof...I have heard the prof say suck it up (not in those words) or just leave it out. Thast why one has to keep communicating with the moron and keep the prof aware of the situation. I'm guessing if a few days before it is due, you make the prof aware of it then for the 1st time, the results are not going to be in ur favor

Does anyone know for certain if the slacker in the CLC group gets a different/lesser grade than the rest of the group? I had some losers for group members. I made sure I posted in the color forum for the professor to see the effort I put into pulling teeth.

Today I received my diploma in the mail. It is a thing of beauty. Tomorrow I will go get a lovely frame for it. But I started thinking about the hard work I put into all those dreaded CLC projects, being the group leader (not always by choice), taking on more work than the average person should have to, carrying the group just to keep my own grade intact. So, I feel a little annoyed that there several slackers are out there somewhere probably feeling proud of getting their diploma as well when they just sat there and let someone else do all the work.

I don't know if they get a lesser grade, I bet in the majority of cases no, they get the same, but I bet there are a few profs that may ding them, but they are probably in the minority

These are the same co workers that leave empty IV bags and dressing changes for you because they were too busy.

My current instructor has stated more than once that CLCs will be graded individually and that it will be based on participation in the color forum. Anyone want a great Ethics instructor let me know

Last week of ethics...and first week of Leadership. This one is kinda scaring me! I think I can, I think I can!!!

[Flames9_RN, BSN, RN, EMT-B]

Leadership is going well, no real big issues thus far..3 weeks down, 2 to go......Good to see that ur prof is marking it individually

[proud nurse, BSN, RN]

You guys are in Leadership?!! You're reaching the home stretch. Are you thinking about your topic for the capstone and getting research articles?
