AOX4, will (attempt to) continue to monitor

Wow - lots of questions. ? - finished in 23 days. I took off work to just do school. My life was Eat/sleep/school. I don’t have kids and have an abundance of PTO days. But Indont recommend doing it that quickly. It was a little overwhelming. Whether you finish in 23 days or 12 weeks. The end result is still the same. - I always was registered in 2 classes at the same time. You can only be in 2 simultaneously. - APA - I am familiar with it so it wasn’t a big deal for me personally. the PERRLA add-on in MS work was a godsend though. It formats your title/reference page and keeps a reference library in case too you the same reference twice. -You don’t have to be the best writer to do well. If you get your point across, use the appropriate amount of resources, and follow the rubrics you should do fine. -The best resource was the facebook group. Once you get in there there’s A HUUGE amount of posts regarding who are good instructors. It often will have guidance on some of the harder topics. -I am in also NO WAY one of those “have to get an A” people. If you are great, that’s fine, but it may take a bit longer with revisions. I am Very happy with a B or a C here and there. Like I said before. The end result is the same #BSN. If you are in the RN to MSN program it may have different grading requirements. I only went for BSN. Hope this Helps and best of luck ?? Sean

Hi ? I personally didn’t need any additional classes but I can direct you to a place I mentioned above. If you have facebook I HIGHLY RECOMMEND joining RN TO BSN CAPELLA SUPPORT GROUP. They have posed that question numerous times about which additional elective to take and which to steer clear of. It’s also a HUGE reason I got through the program. It’s very helpful and very motivating ?. Best of luck in the Program. My name is Sean. You may see A LOT of my posts in the facebook group if you join ?

They have a program they use that is built into the Blackboard online platform - it’s called Kaltura. As for APA. I used the PERRLA add on in Microsoft Word. It helps format your title page, reference page mostly. I cannot sayr references you help you wrote better APA. I somewhat remembered it when I was in school 7 years ago and just caught on as I went. There are sometimes example papers when you’re writing an assignment posted by the school to give you an idea. The OWL PERDUE site isn’t bad either...

You’re most welcome and best of luck ?! If you apply use my name as a referral and I get $5 to donate to a charity!

THANKS! ? It’s accreditation is National I believe but always check with the admissions person. I was at GCU and they wanted 100 clinical hours. I’m not sure of prerequisite requirements because I never dealt with that.

I don’t have kids and I already work at home so I took off work for 2 weeks and 2 days and finished the program in 24 days. I was always taking 2 classes at a time. There’s A LOT of people In the support group I was talking about that have kids and they would be the best people to talk to about it with. It is in no way a race that’s why it’s a good thing that this is self paced you can take week to finish a class or 2 or whatever. There are 3 classes that require a “clinical component” but no face-to-face time. 2 of the Classes are now referring to a hypothetical patient in lieu of in person. The capstone/final class requires 3 remote clinical hours of teaching someone. You are allowed to pick your topic to teach and your patient. I used my mother and her sister and diabetes... I finished 7/2 and that was the requirement at the time. Talk to admissions and they can go over more of it. The group is VERY motivating

I personally loved the program. I only had to take the eight core classes in order to graduate Because I had a lot of transfer credits. It is mostly research papers, a few videos, A few power point. The video you were Referring referring to is a maximum Of 20 minutes if I remember correctly my video was about 12. You basically write out a script before hand and read it it was actually kind of easy but you are right it is a long video. I worked at my own pace which was good for me. There is a facebook RN to BSN Capella support group that really really helped get through the program.

Join the “Capella RN to BSN Support Group” on facebook. That can help with tips on which instructors to select. As for joining. Go to the capella website and fill out the RN to BSN form, I’m sure someone will contact you and go over the admission process. ?

Capella RN to BSN Support Group

I took two weeks and 2 days off from work To concentrate on all things Capella and finished in 24 days. I was always in 2 classes at one time. You can register for a second class the day the program starts and you most likely will have access to blackboard the Friday or Saturday before your start date. If you haven’t already - Join the RN to BSN Capella group one facebook. It’s VEEEERRY helpful. Talks about ways to help, good instructors, and it’s also a great motivator. It helped me a lot!

Currently in the program and I am wondering how long it took some of you to complete. I am doing pretty well I think but just wanted to get a general consensus. I only have the 8 core classes to do. I had AN OBSCENE amount of classes I had taken in the past in addition to the Nursing Associates in addition to some upper-level classes so that was good. Hopefully will get this done in one billing cycle ? Thanks! Sean

How have you been doing with the program? Have you joined the facebook group for the RN to BSN flexpath?? If you not really should. There's A LOT of good information, which instructors to select, which to avoid and also great tips and amazing motivation from others.

I have no idea I’m sorry :( I Wish I could help. I just sent my transcripts and had them do all that. Your enrollment counselor I’m sure can help.

I had a complete Transfer Eval and I only have to take the 8 courses. I was one of those Go to school, stop, go again, stop. Took everything in me to complete my ADN. Needless to say, I had a bunch of BS courses that I have taken since high school (graduated in 2001.) Didn't get to start on 5/11, tuition reimbursement guidelines stated I have to submit for it 2 weeks prior to starting the class, so if I want my company to pay for it, I have to wait until June...I think I can do that LOL. Best of luck!
