Howdy all, I bit the bullet and after much research, I decided on Grand Canyon! Wow, I did not expect BSN schools to be like used car salesmen--hounding me by emails and phone calls. Rather impressed on how Grand Canyon sort of left me alone, but at the same time kept in touch.

Commence my first class Sept 30th, excited, yet very nervous, as I'm not a big fan of school, LOL! I did extremely well on my Associate degree, graduated back in 2009 from Northern Virginia Community College. We shall see.

Would love to hear from past and present Grand Canyon RN to BSN students.

For what it's worth, I have yet to be penalized for going over word count or slide count (individual work or group project)...

Rob just be glad your group did the work. I am in ethics and once again it is nearly impossible to get a response from my group.

For what it's worth I vote you leave it as is too!

Specializes in Certified Med/Surg tele, and other stuff.

Never got dinged for going over word count, so I doubt you will be too. I would just tell them what Prism said, because she is always so wise. :)

comes with the cap! :grad: gfight.gif

Specializes in ICU/ Surgery/ Nursing Education.

Thanks everyone, you are all correct I believe. I am worn out, had a bad week, and just can't get motivated to finish this class. I am just sitting here looking at the screen and shouting "Just turn it in". Then I look at the CLC Agreement and find out that I am responsible to turn it in.....

On a much happier note, I have worked so much overtime this week I will be able to purchase a shade tarp for my patio and a new smoker for fathers day..... Just in time for July 4th!

Specializes in Cath Lab, Case Management.
My adviser can't even tell me if the class has a group project or not!!! 1 would think they should be able to do that!!!

I think you got the worst advisor ever Flames, sorry, but it sounds this way from what you've posted. :confused:

Totally off topic. Got to see the house. Six bedrooms but two other rooms without proper exit route so cannot count as bedrooms. The house is ginormous! I will have my own scrapbook room, which will make me super happy!! And it's official my husband got the job. He is still completing hisBSN and he went up against one guy with a PhD. Sometimes life experience does payoff.

It does sound like you have a poor advisor. I guess I am lucky that I have not had to enlist the help of my advisor too much. I do have to call her this Friday to take the little break I have planned!!!!

You're almost finished Flames.... Almost...
