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 look forward to starting RN-BSN june 1st I have to read up on my APA format has anyone here ever used PERRLA program for APA formatting? im just trying to get a head start on everything can any post up an example question that might have been used so I can get an idea?

I havent utilized PERRLA or OWL, however I do like "cite fast". For me once my paper is properly formated I use the same paper again, doing references and citations seem to take a long time and this cite works great. Plus if you have the ISBN, plug in that I for and just like magic... Hope that helps.

I'm just happy it's only taking 13 months to complete my BSN! I complain every time I have to get on the computer to do school work, because I really am over school, but man, come Oct when I am done I'll be so happy! Especially when I see my other cohorts just starting or something!

Thanks for that, I bookmarked it because it looks like a good one. I love internet citation makers. BTW, here's the link to the actual APA (bookmark this), you will use it a billion times, TONS of great info, searchable and up to date: APA Style

I am finding it difficult to be motivated this week. It is my final week of Trends and also Leadership. I do not want to start writing these papers. I do not want to be a manager...

No doubt. I couldn't get out of Leadership fast enough. I have to say though, I'm currently taking Leadership classes at work because they are making me. For some reason I'm thought of as a leader at work :rolleyes:. The agenda for the entire 6 month class is all about Leadership, reading and figuring nurse working hours, versus OT, encouraging people to follow you as a leader, etc..

I have to say, this class prepared me fairly well. When the speaker asked a question such as what the difference was between a manger and leader, I knew all the answers, because it was like spending 8 hours in school.:sniff:

Thanks Prism, anything to ease the pain of completing papers is golden with me.

If I may...I'm going to add a little military humor, quickest way to figure out if you are a leader or not...turn around to see if anyone is following. :laugh:

I just finished the last paper for Trends (I did a crappy job, but don't really care) and now the schools website is down. I just wanna hit the submit button and forget about that class. I guess I may as well start on the last paper for Leadership now... This one is going to suck too.
