    Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I have worried about this ever since I applied to a "Christian" university and noticed I had to take a class called spirituality... If I have to bare my feelings I am going to make people really...

    Before I got switched out of a class because the instructor was off the wall and taking a break I had many of the same classmates in each class. Once I was switched out of that "track" the people...

    Look on the GCU portal under academics and look at your academic schedule. It gives you the prospective start and stop dates for each class. Then you can figure out what class you will be in around...

    I took a couple weeks off after health assessment because I felt really burnt plus I had to do PALS. It recharged me a little but now I am feeling burnt again. PrismRN is correct, two weeks off...

    rob4546 replied to BarnesTyler's topic in General Students

    Dial them digits!!! If I was in that situation and didn't want to help then I wouldn't have given you the number. I wouldn't put it off much longer but I think this week would still be

    rob4546 replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    I asked my main three professors for a reference to use in my job hunt and it wasn't a big problem. I showed up in the office the Monday after graduation/pinning and thanked them for their help,...

    I purchased a Kindle Fire 7" (I think that is the size) to read my books at work and when I am away from my computer. It works fine, but I find myself doing most of the reading from my computer. I...

    Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    rob4546 replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    Nurses show up to work even though the weather is bad. A "level 3 weather emergency" does not negate the nurses responsibility. You can argue that nursing students shouldn't be required to show up...

    Yes, I will have a lot to say in my final review as well. In my last two classes I have seen a weird thing happen in the DQ forums. Someone will provide a initial post and then another classmate...

    supplies for pre nursing & nursing

    rob4546 replied to mrichey's topic in General Students

    I will agree with everyone else in stating that you need to get your own laptop. I did when I started because I was going to be on the road a lot and it would have been easier to complete homework...

    I have a case study question, I need some advise

    rob4546 replied to huota's topic in General Students

    We had a similar scenario in my final semester of nursing school and we discussed applying high flow O2 for the patient (4-6 LPM NC). Before people start exclaiming "you can't give high flow O2 to a...

    Like PrismMSN said, you do not have to be a math genius. You do not need to know everything about stats. It is a very cursory review of the concepts. Get the vocabulary down and then just accept...

    I am the same way, I do not socialize at work at all. From years of experience in many jobs over a lifetime I learned to stay professional at work. I do not gossip, express my personal point of...

    Would I ever get over the fear of hurting people?

    rob4546 replied to Potato 007's topic in General Students

    Yes this is a valid thought but I will tell you that once you have done it a few times it really isn't a big deal. I actually look for the patients that are nervous or skittish about needles and see...

    How to Cite a Publisher's Imprint in APA Style?

    rob4546 replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    I think you are correct, just using Elsevier would be the simplest form and still a true statement. Now if I could get my minions to write the paper as well I would have much more free

    I bought PERRLA as well, it was only 40-50 bucks. At first it didn't seem to help much but once I figured out what it did and did not do it became more useful. It formats everything and keeps track...
