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?

[tokmom, BSN, RN]

Don't procrastinate with those articles, ladies and gentlemen, lol. They are killers to find at the last minute. You have to know the contents of each one because you have to write a Literary Review. I cannot imagine doing each one of those at the last minute.

I normally can spin off a nsg dx without an issue. I think a big part of it is wrapping my head around how to word it for a community.

[Flames9_RN, BSN, RN, EMT-B]

One has to keep in mind a community is a lot bigger than a single person..so it is key to use words like..Larger...bigger..gigantic'er..enormouser.....just do a nsg DX for a single person and then throw in those words I provided........

LOL..... so needed that chuckle.

Even more funny when put into context of my presentation - Lactation support in the workplace.

Hmmm gigantic'er, enormouser breastestes due to lack of availability of dedicated room for pumping and lactation support in the workplace.

Have you Googled any help?

I envisioned a room exploding with very large breasts, lol.

[PuddlesMcNeal]

I have spent my evening googling - I think my middle name is now google!

Think I have it.

Readiness for enhanced knowledge to provide lactation support in the workplace related to employed mothers of infants and changes in the law.

About to head to bed, 0100 here. When I get up in the morning will read it again and see if I need to tweak it. There is something that doesn't seem right to me right now. Not sure if there really is something I am missing or just tired brain mush.

THANK YOU all!! I really appreciate all the support here. :)

Thanks again Pink! I am sure you have a wealth of experience that would have brought something interesting to a very boring paper. Three wonderful nurses already helped me out!

That has been one of the hardest part of school for me. I'm not working as a nurse and I only talk to one person from my ADN.

I think my sister should get an honorary award because I've interviewed and assessed her so many times!

I'm going to order my GCU nursing pin soon. I think it will help me keep an eye on the prize! OK back to work for me.

I do not have vast experience that the others do. So glad this is such a supportive community. Best to you!

It is a teaching experience, correct? Why not use: knowledge deficit R/T whatever AEB Whatever

Worked for me. I also provided a wellness diagnosis: Readiness for enhanced knowledge.

Again, worked for me. Not going to put in 2 hours of work on a nursing diagnosis.

I have vast experience? UMMMM, NOPE!

So the statistics class opened up today and I wasn't lucky enough to get one of the recommended instructors. I looked through the class and am not sure if I should be worried. The things that worry me are, I have not found tutorial youtube videos that others have mentioned having. There are KhanAcademy videos, but haven't watched any yet. What does bother me is there is very little announcements to read. She does not state expectations, except once she said "as per GCU policy".

I will continue to look throughout the weekend, but I am not sure that I will take this class from this instructor. Any suggestions from someone that has been there? Math doesn't worry me, varied and inconsistent expectations worry me.
