Hello! I am currently in Block 2 at the GCU Boswell campus, so yes I am taking classes now :-) We were emailed about the optional site orientation sometime a week or two before classes started, and the email came from the site director. You are al...

Hi stephatron289: I just wanted to clarify re: the GCU religion comment. They do indeed consider themselves a Christian university and you will find that well represented in their mission statement, etc. With that said, they welcome students from ...

Hi stephatron289 - I am currently a nursing student at Grand Canyon University, which is a private school in the Phoenix area that offers their nursing program at several different locations in the metro Phoenix area. Their nursing program is genera...

Hi! First, you may want to edit your post, it is against the ToS to include names of professors etc. With that said, I had the professor you mentioned at Phoenix College last fall for the 205 Hybrid course and she was great! You will have some onli...

This. I know when I was first looking at GCU I attended an information session and the packet of information I received talked about the scholarships. You can certainly check with your adviser once you get your acceptance to clarify the scholarship...

Hello hsimons38! I just started Block 1 in January at GCU-Boswell, and it is my understanding that they look at your GPA as follows: 1) They evaluate the GPA of all of the required pre-req courses (sciences, english etc.) to make sure you meet the ov...

Hello Eyestripe! Yesterday I attended the optional site orientation for Boswell. It is a gorgeous facility! Anyway, I imagine it will be as Toy described, but it sounded like all of our classes with the exception of 305 will be in Classroom 3, with...

Ha, so I checked my schedule again today and it has changed! While I am now going to just wait to get an official email from GCU with my schedule (since they seem to be still tinkering with it), my new schedule *appears* to be: Tues 8-12, 1-4 Wed 8-...

I know, it will be rush hour traffic for me too! Probably end up getting there early and finishing up coffee in my car or something lol.

Hi Toy - I checked my calendar again and there are no other classes posted on it, so maybe they are still trying to figure out lab schedules? I am sure I will find out soon! I may drive out to the campus one of these mornings just to see what traffi...

So, my GCU account appears to have been updated with my class schedule for Boswell starting January. I haven't received an official email about it, but it looks like my cohort's schedule is as follows: Mon/Wed: NSG 301 (Nursing Foundations) 9-11,...

Hey Andi - Thanks for posting the SHC schedule. I haven't heard anything yet about the Boswell schedule - did you just email your nursing adviser for the schedule?

Hi ryleea1 - I'm actually starting at the Boswell location in the Spring, but I have heard good things about St. Joe's. Re: your entrance exam, you have time to re-take the TEAS if you are worried about your score (or take the HESI if that is what ...

Just butting in to add that I was reading the Fall 2013 nursing student handbook (it's on GCU's site on the prelicensure orientation page) and I noticed in the section re: prequisites that they state Summer 2014 and forward students will need to have...

I'm at PC in the hybrid section!

I'm taking Micro right now and the other pre-nursing students that I am aware of are either applying to ASU or the Maricopa programs, from what I know. I have a lot of non-nursing classmates, though (Dietitian, Lab tech, PT etc). Very interesting g...

Re: CPR class, I am going to try and take it from one of the community colleges sometime soonish. I know PVCC has some classes this month and next that still have seats open.

I am paying for school out of pocket and the financial person who emailed me said I am required to fill out FAFSA anyway. I think that is odd, and am double checking with my admissions advisor b/c I am SO not filling out that form if I don't have to...

I can't speak for everyone, but the GPA I posted was based on my total pre-reqs, i.e. science/math/english etc. They also calculate a separate science GPA and I believe that is factored into the decision-making progress, but not sure how much compar...

Congrats Ablazing! Andiisme is also accepted at SHC and I *think* she currently has a friend in the program, so hopefully she will chime in re: schedule :-)

Hi Ryleea1 - St. Joes currently only has Summer and Fall start dates :-)

I would like to work as a nurse extern during school, but not sure if I can get hired for that until after we finish our first semester. Until then, I am trying to find a job as a CNA on the weekends. Financially, I could probably get through scho...

Gah, okay so I got my acceptance email like 15 minutes after my last post, but we were at the movies and I couldn't post a response! Anyway, totally relieved I got in, and here are my stats: GPA: 3.78 TEAS: 97/100 Previous degree and no hospital af...

Congrats to everyone! I apped to Banner Boswell and have not heard anything yet. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I absolutely plan on doing this. I have been stalking these boards forever as I've been doing my pre-reqs and trying to figure out where I wanted to apply. The information I have picked up here has been so helpful, so I want to pay it forward!
