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?

If i had not taken 6 months off, I would be done,lol Nope, worry about that later!! I may double up patho and trends...shall see..I don't work, so i'm really in no hurry, but would be best to just get it over with. And then move into classes centered around hospice care. I still have 2 non-nursing classes to go after Capstone...belive I can test out of them....just weird on how these 2 classes keep changing..seems with every new adviser I get..these 2 classes change, weird

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

Do professional nurses really do this?

Today I received my diploma in the mail. It is a thing of beauty. Tomorrow I will go get a lovely frame for it.

Congratulations!!

What changes? The type or actual class itself or have you even chosen them yet? It would totally suck to have to take two more classes or test out of them after the capstone. That, to me, was the end all.

Thanks rob!!

Lol, yes some "professional" nurses do leave dressing changes and empty IV bags. Our unit is pretty good about at least hanging a new bag on the pole when there's about 150cc left, and passing along to the oncoming nurse that it will need to be spiked and scanned. Dressing changes, not so much since I've been in a hospital setting but in LTC...all the time.

Okay I am just not comprehending the rubric for the CLC in Community Health and I am begging for any help I can get from you smart nurses! My part is to describe the boundaries, distinguishing environmental boundaries, environmental relationships, and external systems that comprise the open, community system. I have read and reread the book and it is not sinking in. Could someone put this in English for me Please?? It would be much appreciated!

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

Yes! Including Leadership 4 classes and counting! My capstone is going to be on Transitions of Care (Case Management).

I have overlapped on Spirit and Ethics, and now Ethics and Leadership. I am set to start Patho the last two weeks of Leadership. May do the same at the end of Patho with Trends.

I think I would make them give me a definite on those two classes.
