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?

Vino this way.

I just submitted my application to GCU! I am delighted to find this thread.

I am an older RN, but completing BSN is on my bucket list. Overall I am reading

good things on this chat. I know three nurses who did this program and loved

it. I think the biggest hurdle for me will be the formatting of papers, the tech

things.

Congratulations to all of you who have completed the program and those who

are done with statistics! :)

How did I miss this board? I am in my 5th class as well. I have had more exercise, cleaning of home (I defrosted the fridge yesterday) in this course than any other class, and I will pay for it come Sunday! Falling back on old habits of wait till the end and then hurry... We have had 2 drop the class already...I know I have thought about dropping!

Good day everyone:

I'm not sure how to read Tuition and Fees | Grand Canyon University in terms of trying to guage an estimated total investment for RN to BSN. For those of you already at GCU, for estimating purposes only, what is the total cost for a RN to BSN with them?

Thank you.

WW, given my age, I have zero idea what a APA paper is, nor anything about doing a power point presentation.. my daughters did this all in middle school... while I toted them to and fro..

Now I have to go back and learn the new basics... I hope GCU will help.

I have been told by 3 previous graduates.. they give you a solid number when you are totally onboard. One of the few schools that does this... and it is more reasonable than many schools.

I have been researching, I have schools wanting to send me books before I they even get my transcripts!!!

Hi SunshineDaisy! I'm moving to Nashville after I finish my RN program in December. Do you have any idea what the job market is like in Nashville?? Also, I am leaning greatly towards Grand Canyon's RN-BSN program but I'm still shopping around. I guess it comes down to cost and what the work is like (tests vs papers).

Any advice for me?

[pinkpetunia]

I am now, given I have posted my decision.. getting many phone calls. Will take care of that!

You should call them, give them your information or transcripts from your past Nursing program and they will tell you how many classes you need to complete their program. For me it came out to 12 core nursing classes (that includes their statistics class) and it was almost $18,000 total after the ANA membership discount of 10%.

I was told 17,000 by friends. Not sure why, but I think something has changed?

They were thrilled given UW costs over $500 a credit

I am not going to submit anything final unless the cost is about $17000!!!
