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 that is true! I wasn't a huge fan of that class, but I did get an A. I am currently in Spirituality. Ugh, I am NOT a fan of this class. There isn't any group work in this class either.

I think this class could have been fascinating but the prof was SUPER picky about APA and would take 15 points off a paper for smaller things. I only had one paper that he liked. In fact raved about. I came out with an "A" but barely.

Hi everyone, my next class is Concepts in community and public health (427). I just wanted to know how is that class? I am on my 4th week of health assessment and so far it has been the most time consuming class. I just wanted to know how my next class would be so I can prepare myself mentally :) Thanks!

I took that class sometime last year. We had 2 group projects in the class. We had to write 2 papers as a group. I believe it was busy work assignments.

So I guess no more easy classes huh? Thanks everyone.

That class was tough, but I think we all got a little lax after the winter break! The group project was ridiculous, everyone complained and was confused, as well as the last assignment. I hope they fix it! I managed an A in the class, but like another poster, my teacher and her student teacher were very picky with APA!

Oh, and I'm getting a B in stats, which I'm ok with!

I had 2 group projects due in Concepts and Community and Public Health. I was able to get an A in the class (I have in every class so far) There are more classes to come with 2 group assignments. My last class also had 2 (ethics) and I was tole I wouldn't have to take that one since I had already taken an ethics, but they will choose whatever 12th class they want. Right now I am in Spirituality and there are no group projects, but this is a very paper heavy class. Spirituality is NOT my strong suit at all. If I lose my 4.0 status in this class I wouldn't be surprised.

That is how mine was, but it changed and what was a group project turned more into a solo project!!

Spirituality kills a lot of 4.0's. :(

I don't think we had two group projects in ethics. Probably a good thing because I was sicker than a dog with food poisoning for two weeks and would have been a horrible groupie, lol.

Oh man... I hated that it was group projects. Solo work is easier

I don't think my ethics teacher liked me. My personal papers and work I got low A's in, but the group projects I got 100%'s in.

I am so worried Spirituality is gonna kick my butt. I am agnostic and it is hard for me to say a bible verse is saying this or that when I don't believe in the bible. Plus, the teacher isn't grading things very fast.

Thanks! I think I am doing alright so far. Hard to know since the teacher hasn't graded anything substantial. Just the first DQ of week 1 and week 2. I don't understand how week 2 DQ 1 was graded before the 2nd DQ of week 1, but whatever floats the teachers boat. I am hoping she gets around to grading these papers shortly. I would like to see how she grades things.
