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?

For me I am done Capstone but will be starting another class on Monday due to the fact I have to take a minimum of 30 credits at GCU. So I am still pushing along:(

The time will fly! Just watch and see.

Well I thought it was...but I got my final back already!!! I AM DONE!!! I can hardly believe it! I had to work today so tomorrow when I can sleep in and not think about school before I can drift back to sleep, yup that is what I am talking about! I'm getting ready to send in my documents per GCU requirements. It feels so surreal to sit here with nothing to do, weird!

OMG !!! Congrats!!!! Sleep in and relax for a change.

It's been 2 weeks and 2 days for me and so far nothing in the mailbox :no:

The Grad info on the website says to expect it within 4-6 weeks after the end date of the last class, so I guess I will keep stalking my mailman.

I knew you were a stalker!!!

My advisor stated I could take these 2 classes before Capstone..BUT advised not to...as it would ruin the "flow" lol I really don't think it would---I took nearly 6 months off--and it did not ruin the "flow" lol I'm taking a month off, to head back to Canada, then will double up and be done with it! Yes, it would be much nicer to be done after Capstone! If I were u----If you can get 1 of the desirable Capstone profs....do it first..if not, do the elective, then hope for 1 of the desirable profs

I just don't understand the comment about ruining the flow. If they wanted flow then they would have scheduled Stats, then research, maybe leadership, and then capstone. Sounds BS to me, I adapt to each class, I am a nurse......

I am playing around with the idea of taking a few weeks break so that my capstone class will be during the Christmas break rather than done the week before. It would be nice if I had week 2 of the capstone interrupted with the 2 weeks off for break. Two extra weeks to get the work done. Plus I could use a break right now.

For Capstone the first 2 weeks were the busiest...I still only worked 2 days a week on it though, so it is not that bad. still batting a .1000,lol I think the key is finding something u enjoy!

For the most part one could do Capstone at the beginning and do well....My writing has improved from the beginning, but 1 could figure it out.....well maybe not some.....Instructions clearly say the Abstarct is to be between 250-450 words....yet people have to ask about the length, as in the student success area says like 150-250 words!! It is Friday, beer is in the fridge, VIP movie tickets reserved to go see Avengers in 3D, life is good!!
