Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

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.

Has anyone taken HLT 306V or HLT 307V they look interesting . I'm not really interested in taking the Risk class or the Health Care Systems class. Just finished Spirituality that almost did me in glad it is over. Have Pathophysiology and Capstone left plus the 2 anything classes. I'm in week 2 of the amp 450v class and the instructor takes her 7 days to grade everything and the second part of the assignment I got back on day 8 this is very frustrating. Can someone PM me on the instructors that would be the best for these classes? Thanks in advance!

sorry did not take 306 or 307...the 1 other anything class I took was HLT 317 which was a cake walk..very basic research class.....

I read on the web site it is "intensive writing" something I am not looking for right now . I want to take 2 anything classes together so I can finish in December like originally planned. I had a break which threw my schedule off because I postponed the spirituality class. Thanks Flames9_RN Hey what does fellow AN'r mean?

Can you please PM me with the instructors I'm down to the final 4 finishing my 10th class in 2 weeks. Thanks!

I think most of the classes state "intensive writing" pretty much every class had 1 paper or powerpoint due each week..sometimes a 2nd item due as well......

Hey Flames9 thanks for the info but I did see specifically in the catalog that it has a asterisk stating intensive writing just like the spirituality class. Believe me I don't have a problem with writing papers it's just the crazy comments from the professor. I have had 8 classes prior to that spirituality class and never had any kind of grading issues with my APA format . I used the GCU template ,but in that class the professor would make things wrong in all crazy places on the rubric like flow and sentence structure and grammar etc, but never gave any feedback. But 8 professors before her never had issues with my writing performance. It's so funny how very different they all are but like you said before just check the box.

Thanks for the pm I'm still trying to work the site correctly.

Can you send me a PM on this as well ,thank you in advance!

I hear you OLD DOG. My spirituality instructor was difficult. He knit picked at everything. As I said in the other GCU thread, I was barely made an A-. I knew going in that it would be a class that could sink people, because it's totally underestimated. The professor in spirituality deducted points that other instructors did not.

Every instructor is so different. My ethics prof would not accept any paper that was written at a 9th grade level. So not only did we have to be APA proficient, but we had to constantly check the grade level and aim for 12th grade or higher.
