    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Could you pass this along? I have been looking for a instructor like this since I started. I have only had very minimally involved instructors with pre-prepared responses etc.... Might be a good...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    I never figured out what the heck the benchmark assignments were all about. I have some suspicion that they are tired to skills or outcomes we are supposed to pass to be eligible for our eventual BSN...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    I was wondering about this since the discussion started. How often is there a TA and do they announce it before the class starts? I couldn't imagine arguing with a third party about how a paper is...
  4. Yes, I have but in the totality of the entire assignment a few typos are a minor problem. Sit back and marvel at what you have accomplished but get to work on the next assignment!! Just an...

    Dosage Calc exam and special accomodations

    I think there are valid points being made here, but we might be overlooking an important aspect. In this example the student is learning a skill and being tested upon it, not having to use this in a...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Wow, well I guess anyone can make this mistake. I worry about this every time I submit something. I usually feel chest pains while my cursor hovers over the submit button. It takes me at least a...
  7. I think this is a good place to be. Being in a group means that you can't control others submissions, no reason to dwell on it. I struggle with the need to be the fearless leader and stressing...

    Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    This would lend credibility to the line of thought that cheaters will sink themselves. Unfortunately I didn't follow this line of thought. In my prerequisites there were two that openly cheated and...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    I didn't stress over these and only saw them in the first and second class. They were not separately graded and counted towards participation posts. I generally ignored them but answered one or two...
  10. Couldn't
  11. And for my group project a couple weeks ago we only produced one nursing Dx for the community. It stemmed from the interview and the biggest problem the community endures (poverty). Like above, it...

    Mean Nursing Instructor

    Short socks are I guess against the rules, but could you wear Pom Poms? The only thing I would add here is "was it in the student handbook?" Our program had such things stated and we were expected to...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Okay I think I got it. What I see is the original question had a poor text version of formulas and they placed a picture of the formula on top of the text. This did not cover all the text so it...

    Question for anyone who s recently complete Stats. In the excel exercises we have to complete, has anyone had a problem with the master assignment? I downloaded and opened the assignment and the...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Okay, this is too funny!!!! Puddles, I thought it was a donkey as your avatar!! About a 100 pages back we were talking about riding to GCU in the bottom of the grand canyon on donkeys! Mine was...
  16. Puddles and everyone else beating their head against the CLC wall right now, it isn't fair what we all go through. Although I do not enjoy mediocre, I now have learned to roll with it. You cannot...
  17. And I think that the group assigned leader should provide feedback to the instructor about the participation of everyone in the group which will impact each persons earned grade. And the group leader...
  18. I don't believe that it is a cynical perspective, it could be a valuable insight into the way online classes should be run. I don't mind having a group project following the guideline that are posted...

    Older Students - 40 +

    I think that you will find that many people here and in nursing school are "older". I prefer to be called well seasoned.... Out of my graduating class I was the oldest at 44 but 5/10 of us were in...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Thank you everyone for the help on the STATS issue. I will work on it later today. I want to have at least the first two discussion posts completed. Concepts in Community and Public Health is...
  21. Now PrismRN, tell us how you really feel........ I have to totally agree with what Prism stated, the CLC projects do not promote the objective of the group project. Like I stated in the last course...
  22. I am going to suggest something a little different, but realize that this is what I would do after the experience I have obtained over the last 9 months... I graduated last year and started working 2...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Thanks for all the advice about stats. I hope I didn't sound freaked o0ut, I really wasn't. Just concerned... One more question. Does downloading the workbook automatically enroll me into the...

    I know my suggestion is simplistic, but you know we are not writing literary masterpieces here! I will share my impression of stats with you,

    what keeps you going?

    Not in classes RN right now, graduated about this time last year. What kept me going was the fact that I knew the stress of nursing school was temporary. Yes I have stress now, but not the same....
