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?

I have a question about the Health Organization Case Study assignment in Leadership. It says to use Harvard Business Review or Hoover's Company Records through the GCU library. I have tried both of them but haven't come up with anything from Harvard and very little info from Hoover's. Am I not putting in my search criteria correctly? The organization that I chose has some info on their website but not enough to answer all of the required topics the rubric is asking for. Any advice??

I bailed on those and just found a company that fit the criteria and had the answers by web searches. When I found one I was familiar with I used it, a company I used to work for - when I was a baby nurse, Adventist Health West. :cat:

Hi derk, I also didn't use those recommended resources (though if I had, I'd have called a librarian to walk me through finding whatever I needed - they're the BOMB). I did what Winter did; I picked a certain Catholic goliath because they're so prevalent in my area. Honestly I found most of my stuff by googling the heck out of it and even found some cool videos on youtube that were official releases from the Prez & CEOs that talked about specific things like staffing, resources, and everything that was in the rubric. That posed its own challenges though because then I had to learn how to reference YouTube and podcasts! :yes:

Do you feel for the most part you are searching, searching for info... and the writing part is the easy part?

Same here. I just found an alternative one on my own.

thanks for the advice on the health organization case study. I have been googling until I can google no more! I am stuck on information for resource management. Just can't seem to find much out there. I have spent more time researching than I have writing. :no: I still have a paper for patho to write and we are to go out of town for the weekend. It looks like I will be taking my laptop with me.
