I plan to take 3-5 years off before going back for an MSN. But when the student loan payments begin, I may decide to defer by going back sooner lol.

Thanks :) I remember when you finished, tokmom. It seemed so far off for me, and here I am now. What a relief it is!

It's been awhile since I have checked in. I turned in my final Capstone paper today. I have one peer response left but I'm debating even doing it lol. I'm done, done, done. I also started a new job last week. I really like it so far, and it's still i...

I went ahead and messaged both the Prof and a Librarian. Too much work for 10 points!

It really is a ridiculous assignment. Another one with vague instructions and the information needed for the assignment is not in the reading material. And yes, it is only worth 10 points.

In Spirituality: the personhood chart, I'm not understanding what the Materialism column is about. Any help?

It is such a mess. More and more people are openly complaining about the TA's grading. Some of it is grading on grammatical opinion/preference, rather than correct structure. Some corrections are just incorrect. Like the TA told me that the title on ...

What is it about student teachers having something to prove, being super nit-picky, and grading harshly??? Half my class is up in arms over this TA and the grading, and one person even laid it all out in the class forum lol.

I relate - I graduated 12/13 with my ADN, passed the NCLEX 2/14, started GCU 3/14, and started my first RN job 4/14. I also struggled with grades in my first two classes, and then realized I had crappy instructors that had high expectations and grad...

derkfamily - If I remember correctly, by answering each point in the rubric it will add up quickly enough.

Thanks for the insight everyone. I may put off taking a hiatus after all. My work schedule is 5 nights on (8 hour shifts), 9 nights off. I usually pick-up on those 9 off so I'm not so financially tight. I'm now thinking about just sucking it up, taki...

For those that pay out of pocket, how does it work as far as how often you need to take classes to be considered maintaining enrollment? I'm considering quitting the financial aid aspect and paying as I go instead. Most likely it would require me sa...

Speaking of rubrics, is there an easy way to print them out? I have been cutting and pasting them, which really sucks.

Yes, and they never go away. It's frustrating.

I only have 4 more peer responses and then I am done with Stats! Now I have 6 weeks to concentrate on moving, and working to make money for the moving. Then start Intro to Research on Dec. 8th.

I have to say when I am looking for easy instructors I am looking for ones that are more lax with their DQ requirements. I still put in 100% effort on my weekly papers and assignments, probably way more than I need to. It's having to write another pa...

Uh, yeah...this has never happened with me. Not ever. Not once in my life. And I can't imagine it ever will.

Sounds like your take on you being the guinea pig for a new counselor is dead on. Sorry you got stuck with a crappy one. Hopefully you will be able to switch quickly.

There are no cheat sheets circulating. One of the tips being offered is to use the Thinking Storm tutors offered through GCU. The link is on the main page when you are logged into my portal. Each student if given 10 hours free, after that it is u...

I'm probably one of the cohorts not getting it. Although my grade does not reflect my confusion, becasue I have learned how to work the system and utilize my resources lol. Tutors are wonderful. I'm sure if I had an extra 10-20 hours a week I would t...

pinkpetunia, I'm confused, you say you can choose, then you report you can't, now you say again you can choose your counselor. ???? I apologize that I don't reply to you very often, but personally I often have a hard time following what you are conv...

I really like my adviser, but I was impatient when I called him the other day and pressed the option to speak with another adviser for immediate assistance. Turned out the other adviser was more helpful than my regular adviser usually is when I ask t...

Ugh, not what I wanted hear

Fausto I think he looks like a designer donkey with his pretty markings

Well since we're going with a "F" name theme, I was thinking the name Flip was pretty cool. Then I realized naming my transportation down a canyon, Flip, was probably not a good idea.
