I just signed up for a 2 week break between classes. Planning a move from Hawaii to the mainland and I just don't have the time and energy for both school and all the headaches of moving across an ocean. So sad I have to push finishing farther away

You'll get there soon! I wouldn't want to deal with a move and school either.

Hey guys finished the capstone on Sunday! 98.4% woohoo! Now I'm in Amp 450 my last class honestly not a big fan! Question: will someone contact me soon about graduation?

smusher83 · Jun 9, 2016

I would contact your advisor. Some are good (like my last one) others suck at contacting you, returning calls, answering emails, and in general helping you (like the one I have now). Ask that they send you the application for graduation. They will email it to you for you to fill out, then you send it back to them.

GCU seems great the advisor said no tests just paper writing.

Only one problem the cost is $16,000 the other places I am looking at are half the cost.

I have yet to find an employer who says it matters where you get your BSN.

So cost is a big factor for me.

@Jgg if price is a factor I have heard good things about WGU and I think the university of Texas?? If I go for my masters it won't be through GCU. The only reason I went through GCU was a nice discount from them partnered with the school i graduated from, one scholarship and 10k in grants.

When I hear Grand Canyon University, I automatically think "EXPENSIVE!"

I have a BS in psych from a small state school that offered an online program.

I have a friend who was working toward a psych degree at GCU at the same time.

I paid around $180 a credit for my degree.

She paid almost $480 a credit.

Was her degree worth almost $40,000 more than mine?

Nope.

Not by a long shot.

I really don't get why people look at these phenomenally expensive schools and get drawn in and ignore the price - when there are SO MANY schools that have an accredited RN-BSN for around $200 a credit:

Fort Hays State University - $194 per credit.

Minot State University - $211 per credit.

Western Governors - about $3000 for as many classes as you can cram in in 6 months.

GCU - $470 per credit.

GCU wouldn't even crack the top 25 of schools I would want to even look at - based on their insane tuition alone.

I can't recall the credit cost at GCU (graduated in 2015) but the whole program (12 classes) cost me about $17000 which was far less than many, and yes more than others. I did check others and dealing with some of their admissions staff, made me look elsewhere (and all those pestering return calls) Each their own, one has to find a school that works for them....
