Hey tokmom!!! Just wanted to let you know that my clinical instructor for my RN Refresher course graduated from GCU in 2014 just like us!! She said my name looked familiar and perhaps we had been in a class together....I did look, but I don't think so.

tokmom --- I haven't been on here very much, but I now want to publicly proclaim, CONGRATULATIONS to you, as well as say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being my buddy throughout these past 16 months and always having my back. I still remember meeting you here on AN while I was doing my research on schools. GCU wasn't really on my radar, but after chatting with you, I decided to give it a go , and I'm sooooooooooo glad I did!!! You've been the best buddy ever, girl!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

One other thing, you will find that getting a response quickly is really up to the instructor. I had some that took a little bit longer, and some that were super fast. I'm sure you will find that is pretty much the same at any school.

Hi Debs12, I just finished up my RN-BSN at Grand Canyon University this past Sunday. The program is 100% online which is why I chose it. I had applied at 6 different schools, UTA being one of them and GCU won out. Because you are planning on going further in your studies after your BSN, you better make sure that wherever you are planning to attend post BSN will accept WGU's grading system. Good luck!

Oh yes....lots of cussing and banging head on wall, lol.

Tokmom.... I'm getting scared again, lol.

Good for you lil_owl, very smart to have stats out of the way. In regard to a decision on which program to choose, GCU is 100% online. I had looked at 5 other schools before deciding on GCU. Tomorrow tokmom and I start our last class.... with the dreaded capstone!!!!

Murse2013PMI --- How many courses have you been told you need to graduate? Tokmom and I were told 12 classes. However, a friend of mine is only required to take 11. She is exempt from one I had to take. Have you taken something similar to Professional Dynamics in the past? Let us know what happens. You've peaked our curiosity. ;-)

Flames9_RN --- I wonder how they grade? I'd hate to have to read all those papers...look at all the PPTs... very monotonous. Maybe there's a program that picks up certain things that are required in the paper. Much like HR does when they review a resume. I really have no idea though...

gikg --- Check your PM.

RN0511 ---- Sent you a PM.

Like tokmom, I am OUT of that insane class too!!! I emailed my advisor and requested a change. JRich --- Just curious why you'd want to double up on courses? 5 weeks goes by extremely fast. This is me at the end of each 5 week course, lol!

Yes, easy to fill out CLC agreement but not so easy to haunt down some team members if they decide to play invisible man or woman. We once had a member that was a no show the whole way through. No amount of contact from us stirred her from her slumber. Until of course, it was the last minute, and we were about to submit the assignment. Not sure how she was graded, but the instructor was aware of what was happening.

I ditto what tokmom says about stats. Although I must say I probably took out every single stats book from my local library, lol.

Gikg - I made a mistake....I'm only on the 6th class of the program (NRS 437 = Ethics). I got a little ahead of myself, lol. Oooops!! I am in the 7th course. One of the classes dropped off on LoudCloud so it looked like I was only on the 6th course. Duh!!!
