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?

Hello all! I have been in the RN to BSN program at GCU for 6 months now. I was thinking of taking NRS-440 Trends & NRS-437 Ethics at the same time, but as many of you have already finished them, wanted to get your opinions. I am currently finishing up stats and going into nursing research. I have read almost the entire thread and love your thoughts on everything thus far!

I had CATs in nearly every single class, including my very first one! Boo!

I had a not so fun teacher for Trends, but if you can avoid that and get in a good Ethics (2-part) CLC group (I know an oxymoron) it should be doable if you are not inundated with personal and professional responsibilities. :cat:

Hi Skid

I wanted to welcome you to our threads. :) I agree with winter. It is doable, but busy, especially if you have other obligations.

The CAT for this week's DQ's revolved around making a test question based on the DQ subject. You made a test question and then answered it. All of them have been different though, and none in my experience have been required. If you chose to answer them they counted toward participation. I like them. They are usually easy to answer and relevant to the discussion.

Thank you for your kind response. I think I can do them at the same time as my family obligations are quite low for the next couple of months.

Spoke to soon!! My final class has a CAT!! Said it counts as participation, so thats a good thing I guess! But the CAT she asked, pretty much exactly what the DQ 1 is! weird

In my first class they had a link to a site and you had to play a game. Then you came back to her question and posted how you did and what you thought or how it made you feel. That teacher had a CAT every week. Some say it counts towards your grade and others are just giving students another type of post to complete the 6 required posts for the week. They are always related to the topic of the week. Hth.

I does not appear that I can PM you. Can you PM me and let me know what instructor you have? I would be happy to collaborate!

Welcome skid

I am in Trends now and I think there is a fair amount of writing involved, as there is in Ethics. I am a slow writer and so for me it is time consuming. If I took the 2 of them together it would take up most of my free time, but then you may write faster than I do. I have doubled up most of the way and am used to not having free time by this point! I can almost see the light! Hope that was helpful!
