   lanoneus replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

   Well I'm finished (with a 4.0, yaaaaa!) Do we really have to pay $150 to graduate? Ugh. Anyway, I think I was one of the last 5 week capstone people. They changed it some, and the instructors don't seem aware of the changes they made. They gave us a ...

2. Regional vs National Accreditation

   lanoneus replied to shanaynay0's topic in General Nursing

   ACEN and CCNE refer to the program accreditation. You definitely want one of those. But national and regional accreditation refer to the college itself. You want regional accreditation, not national. National is kind of a made up thing by for-profit ...

   Ok, another stupid question related to PICOT/Capstone. Is our capstone project the final product of all the assignments in the Capstone class? That comes up to a minimum of 5,750 words. Aren't most people's papers longer than that? Also, does anyone ...

   5 Week Capstone/1st week question: Hi everyone, especially everyone that graduated under the old program. I will (hopefully) soon be an alumni, but I have a question about our first week's assignment for this class. Besides the lit review of 8 source...

   Tokmom, have you heard anything else about this? I'm trying not to flip out, since I've only got research and capstone left. I've been searching state website and looking for news about a new law but haven't come up with anything. I'll call GCU tomor...

   Hey 4mranch, we are in the same boat. 8 down, 3 to go. are you in the traditional PICO group or did they switch you over the the new group? I start research next month. Pink, I'm pushing 40, but I don't think your ever too old. I've been in some vers...

9. RN TO BSN?

   lanoneus replied to dianekt's topic in Online Learning

   Fort Hayes University is all online, supposed to be one of the cheapest programs around, around $200 a credit hour. WGU is also cheap, but is priced by 6 month terms, I heard it was more like $6000 per term. Very few people complete it in one term, ...

    lanoneus replied to ChrisB718's topic in Online Learning

    Yeah, no school is going to let you graduate with less than 30 hours of courses from their school, no matter how many degrees or hours you have from other schools. If you want to go fast, WGU's program is self-paced, and I have heard that a few peopl...

    Hey, can someone spell out capstone for me? I'll start on it in April, but I want to already have a plan when I do research in February/March. I'm on the old program. I don't have a job right now, so will I need to find a facility and a mentor to do ...

    That was me on the early doubling up. I did it for the first 2 classes. Wasn't unmanageable, but everything's due at the same time for each. I wrote everything for one class on a saturday before it was due and everything for the other the sunday it w...

    Just a note in Perrla...... I ended up using Perrla complete this year, I think it was $30 a year, and it's been awesome. It's like the regular Perrla program, but I've found it easier to use, and it's online, so you can log into a computer anywhere ...
