Members are discussing the accreditation and acceptance of BSN and MSN degrees from GCU in different states, particularly focusing on the requirement of a preceptorship for BSN programs. There are concerns about certain states not accepting GCU BSN degrees, while others share experiences with the capstone course and offer tips for scholarly activities. Additionally, there is mention of GCU transitioning back to a non-profit status and the impact of this change on students.
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.
The most difficult part of the ethics CLC are the ethical dilemma's presented....everyone has to agree. We had one that didn't completely agree, but in light of the project, really tried to have an open mind and write a paper supporting the majorities ethics. It isn't like you have days to debate the topic, so someone has to bend.
INTERESTING.... I see the process as an ethical dilemma! What to do if a CLC member doesn't agree or it's split down the middle?? It's kind of like being on a jury and 2 people aren't on the same page as the others? Oh boy. And all this is conversed and documented for the Instr to see in the Forum. Hmm. I wonder how that is viewed by the Instr? My luck I will be grouped with ppl who have completely different viewpoints. I would be thinking they'd be observing the goings-on in the group and watching for either bullies or rollovers that take a dive for the sake of the project. This class just added another layer if interesting-ness. Tune in for Prism's episode of "12 Angry Men"!

It really is, and of course with a CLC where the instructor is a fly on the wall, one has to be very careful of bullying. I'm sure having a CLC like this in ethics is, learning how to play nice and come to an agreement with those you may not agree with.
Hi everyone! I planned my schedule so I can take Community Health over the Christmas break and get 2 extra weeks to complete everything. Thank you everyone for so much advice on this class. Does anyone have a syllabus for Trends or Leadership? I am thinking about doubling up on those and would like to know what I am getting myself into before I commit. If no syllabus, then just give me a breakdown of the projects for each one. If you have any instructors to recommend for either of theses classes, please PM me. Thanks! Also, what is the worst grade you have ever received on a CLC? Is it worth it to stress out over these, or can you get by with an A just by meeting the requirements? So far, I have been getting A's and I don't feel that I have needed to try too hard. Maybe things get worse as they go?

I felt as though the expectations ramped up after I completed stats. We were mandated to keep to a minimum 12th grade level writing in ethics and many of the instructors forewarned that good APA was expected.
Trends and leadership are busy classes, but I think if you double, those would be the ones. JRich would know best. Both are really dry classes and have the usual assignment due weekly. Leadership did not have a CLC, if I recall, however, trends did.
Oh goodness, I really disliked the CLC for Ethics! I found out how very badly some classmates can write! I wondered how they passed their previous classes :/
