Has anyone been through the BSN nursing program at GCU? If things work out, I am hoping to start there in January. Thanks for any input!!

YAY!!!! I got my acceptance email from GCU today!!! I am so excited to start classes in May! I'm so glad that I will be at St. Joes hospital. Who else got in?

GCUJen - I haven't heard about the mentor program. How do I get info on that? Yeah the reading is brutal!! I'm gonna to get started this weekend for sure. I was gonna ask you about the ATI too. Where do we get those from, SMJC or the bookstore, ...

No worries about the cpr!! I am SJMC, you also right? Oh my, all I can say is I'm a little overwhelmed with it all. I'm sure once I get thru the first fews weeks I will feel much better about the whole thing (I hope). I HATE the schedule!!! It ...

Hi Aspiringnurse55! I applied for the summer start in Jan 2011. If you apply in Sept, you will be up for the start in Jan 2012. As far as the scholarship, when you are accepted the advisor will tell you if you will be getting one, they send a form...

The scholarships cover $3500 with a 3.75 gpa, $2500 with a 3.5 gpa, and $1500 for I think a 3.25 gpa. Mine is 3.6something. I will have to maintain a 3.25 to receive this every semester. Don't be nervous on the TEAS. I freaked myself out and stre...

Hi inspired RN10!! Yeah I literally got on the phone the second that they were open and just waited & waited to get reg. for that class. I really enjoyed the class and feel I learned a lot. I got a scholarship from GCU for my grades as long as...

Hi Lauren! It was my understanding that if you were not able to get into one of the PVCC classes that you would then have to go through GCU. The classes at PVCC are hard to come by. I was on the phone the morning of Spring registration (for like a...

Love this site! Thanks for recommending it!!!

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate the responses! Gonna search on ebay and see what Saunders I can find. Thanks again!

What is the title/author of the best NCLEX-RN book to buy? There are sooo many on the market, which offers the most comprehensive review? Thanks.....

GCUJen - Have you taken your cpr course? If so, where did you take it?

A raspberry Littmann Classic II :heartbeat

We haven't gotten the schedule yet, but when they put it out, I'll let you know what it looks like. Orientation is Apr 20, I hope they put it out sooner and don't wait until then!!

Wow...sorry for the delay in response!! I didn't get a notification on your post....Anyway, St Joe's is a day program. The Jan 2011 start had a night/wknd option at SHC and somewhere in Mesa. Not sure what other night options they will offer.

InspiredRN - Here are my TEAS V scores: Math - 80 and Reading - 76.2. Not great but they got me through!! :)

InspiredRN - Good luck to you for Fall first off! I'm sure you'll do just fine. I do not have a bachelors degree. My gpa is a little over 3.5. I'm hoping my COM270 grade will boost it to a 3.7. I don't remember what my TEAS scores were. I will ...

Thanks for the update mait128!! Glad things are going well for you. Any updates you want to provide in the future will be greatly appreciated! I can't wait to get started myself!

inspiredRN10 - The application deadlines are January 15, May 15 and September 15. Here is a link to the prereq requirements: http://my.gcu.edu/SiteCollectionDocuments/POS/CON_/BSNursingPreLicensePOS.pdf I highly recommend contacting the enrollment ...

I believe the classes are at Scottsdale Health Center. I had to decline the night school there because I live about 60 miles away. I'm gonna try for the summer start at St Joe's. Good luck to you and keep us posted as you progress. I'd love to he...

CONGRATS CMA3!! I'd love to hear anything that anyone in the program wants to share as well. Any advice on the TEAS V?? I take it this Tuesday. Good luck starting NS!!

Thanks inhibernation! Great information, very encouraging. I am looking very forward to applying in September, and pray I get accepted. I take my TEAS on Aug 3 and I'm nervous as all get out. I've been reading some very helpful threads on the TEA...

How is your accelerated program going? I am hoping to start the Jan 2011 program, will be applying in Sept. I am really curious about class schedules and anything you can share. Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for your input!! Not what I wanted to hear but appreciate the honesty. Unfortunately I am hearing more negatives than positives in my research. Do you attend school at John C Lincoln campus or GCU? I will be doing the fast track and was to...

Thanks for the input. No worry about discouraging. I am looking for honest input so I don't jump into something blind sided and regret it later. I appreciate your reply!!
