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?

CONGRATS RAINYN!!!

Thanks :)

I remember when you finished, tokmom. It seemed so far off for me, and here I am now. What a relief it is!

I plan to take 3-5 years off before going back for an MSN. But when the student loan payments begin, I may decide to defer by going back sooner lol.

A MILLION WOOTS RAINYN!!!!

Awesome feeling ain't it!?

(oh and just do that last DQ, you know you won't feel complete until you do!)

It's been awhile since I have checked in. I turned in my final Capstone paper today. I have one peer response left but I'm debating even doing it lol. I'm done, done, done.

I also started a new job last week. I really like it so far, and it's still in mental health. I just moved from a inpatient psych unit at a large hospital to a small inpatient publicly funded/county unit. Better schedule and better pay.

I will take some time tonight to read through the past few months of posts!

congrats!!! I was tempted not to do the last DQ, but did it anyways, came this far, might as well,lol Congrats

I am curious since I am in the same boat, Ianoneus....did GCU iron out this issue for you? They told me that I needed 11 classes (I have Bachelors level statistics) and when I logged in I saw 15!!!!

Make sure u check into it ASAP..I was told I only needed 10....as I did not have to 2 classes--Ethics and Community health..sweet...then they told me I needed 12......as 1 needs so many credits...so I had to take 2 "anything" classes!!

Week 4 of Spirituality and the peer review paper assignment. This is giving me much stress!! Why? Because I downloaded the paper I am to review and even without reading it I know I am in over my head. Apparently the person has no idea what APA is and also cannot follow directions. I could not find an abstract as required. Tomorrow I will read it and I figure it will disappoint me.

I had the same issue in HLT 317....It was obvious when reading it, English was not his 1st language...He did the WRONG assignment, thus it didnt come clost to the Rubric, and APA was extremely weak. I messaged the prof and to see what she wanted me to do..she said critique it....

I tried to remain as positive as I could and laid out many resources for him to improve his APA..u will find some of them in this thread https://allnurses.com/nursing-online-distance/rn-to-bsn-854234-page202.html post # 2615..... Little harder in ur case as you don't have a Rubric to go off, guess 1 just has the instructions......If you lay out constructive criticism, and "sound" helpful, which 1 is if ur providing references, what more can 1 do?

Hello all....! I'm nearly done, i've only got 12 more units. Some classes are harder then others with more time commitments.... My biggest beef so far are of course the CLC group projects as well as teachers making up their own rules, which has been frustrating. I'm doing all of this coursework with 10 month old, 3 year old and 4 year old boys, as well as a comprehensive, online ICU orientation which is equivalent to doubling up classes due to time commitments... oh well what doesn't break you makes you stronger in the end.

I was wondering if any of you can PM me recommended instructors for Public Health, Research & Capstone. Ex... who to take and/or who not to take.

Hey, at least you already completed your paper. I am one week behind you and have my paper due this Sunday. I have yet to even decide which religion to compare to Christianity!

What is the rationale for having us critique a classmate's paper - haven't we served enough penance by reading the same DQ answers over and over and by reading their horrible "i agree" participation posts?!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

That peer-critique paper really bit me in the butt. I decided to go easy and just point out the glaringly obvious that couldn't go without comment ("No abstract noted, as per the assignment description and rubric", etc).

But when I got mine back? Heck it looked like somebody had just learned how to do track-changes and went all hog-crazy on my paper! Sheesh, that'll teach me. Oh, and she was wrong on absolutely every.single.critique.point.

I wanted to write the Prof and ask, "Hey, where's the critique-the-critique assignment so I can send it back with all my "Nuh UH's!!!"
