Grand Canyon RN-BSN

Nursing Students Online Learning

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?

APA is a lot about headings and placement plus other subtle things. Look on Owl Purdue for help. They have excellent examples. Look at those first and if you get stuck let us know. :) I'd be more than happy, but I'm not an APA guru.

Pink,

Owl Purdue, PERRLA, and the GCU learning center and resources are invaluable. Once you do two or three papers you will get in the groove. Once you get to the middle of the program you will be able to crank out papers. I hated writing papers in the beginning but now I would prefer it to anything else. Funny... Questions, ask here. You will get help, may not be the precise help you need but you will get a response.

Pink,

I also use this book for nearly every paper: Amazon.com: A Writer's Reference (9780312601430): Diana Hacker, Nancy Sommers: Books

It gives good examples and helps with grammar, punctuation, etc. I don't remember paying this much for it in school , so the price must fluctuate. I think it is worth it.

Pink,

In regards to how APA paper should look like. I downloaded the GCU template and worked in that exact document. They have all formatting done for you, just paste your info and the text of the paper itself. They are pretty good at instructions in this template.

You can find it here - GCU: Student Success Center

Dear allnurses GCU community! :)

My next classes are going to be Ethics, Leadership and Trends. Any advice on professors? Good or bad. I will greatly appreciate your help! I am in Spirituality now and have the professor that was highly recommended from this forum - I am very satisfied. Thank you guys!!!!

Now, next three classes. For Ethics I have one really good recommendation, but I cannot catch this professor... Maybe you will suggest someone else from personal experience? And, for Trends and Leadership too. Thanks in advance to everyone, who will PM me!!!!

So I had my first meltdown. I purchased PERRLA. Was downloading and it asked to link to Word. My Word was GONE! I know I had office, where did it go? So I rummaged thru several drawers, breaking into a sweat, found the Product Card from when it was installed, re-installed. Whew. I don't know what Office costs anymore, but I am sure it is not cheap.

Goes to show how long it has been since I have written anything. I did a resume about 2 years ago. I can't imagine purposely deleting it!! Oh well, it's back. I had myself a glass of Sat evening wine to recover!! lol!

Just one? The store I purchase my recovery fluid at has my credit card on file!!

You are going to be fine Pink, you need to learn to just roll with it. If you encounter stress then vent here. We will have a laugh, help you out, and then you can focus on what really matters.

Don't meltdown!!! Unless TII brings back a 23%....

If nothing else, the GCU technical support page has Microsoft Office that you can download for free. If you have questions, they will guide you through the steps.
