    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There's no such thing at GCU as "starting this fall". It's not set up in typical semesters like ADN school was back in the day, or as current traditional ground campus 4-year BSN. Since it's an online...

    LOL, no, no banning, so far the only people that have been voted off the island are those that can whip out an A paper in 2 hours! And this ain't MY team, this is tokmom's team, and I thank her every...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Currently in class 7 of 12, should be done end of January-ish. One of the best decisions I ever made. I'd encourage you to change your thought process a little. Many of your posts state your age (as...

    It's not really a rule, it's a standard that most hospitals are striving for: 80% BSN staff by the year 2020, as recommended by the IOM, based on research that supports significantly improved patient...

    I have a friend, 54 yrs old, ADN, has worked in critical care for 25 years, spotless record. Moved to Denver last month. Can't find a job to save her life. With the influx/oversaturation of new grads...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ...that's kinda almost the dumbest thing I've ever heard... shame on people for not supporting you. Yes, Ive experienced it, and all of the naysayers on my end were fellow ADNs that have the...

    LOL And THIS makes perfect sense too (describing the three levels of health promotion for ONE disease process). I didn't think of that either, my PP article was research supporting teaching school-age...

    Well, this just goes to show you how differently each person interprets and implements the rubric points, as well as the instructors! PurpleMyst, as I look at your post above and compare it to the...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Here's my (in class 7 now): I have not heard of anyone being surprised in the middle or end of their program with more class requirements. The enrollment counselors were pretty clear with me up...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'll answer (my opinion), no. The CLCs (group projects) can be a PIA but I'll take that in trade any day over longer courses >5 wks and onsite clinicals. Plus I found GCU competitive as far as $....

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    C'mon pink, JUMP IN! I am not being forced either, in fact, no one on my team has a BSN (not even my boss). I'm doing this because I want to, I also am "of age", have been out of ADN school >20...

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

    Well I neglected to add to my mega-post above to use at your own risk and verify everything before you put it in your own paper. This is MY interpretation based on how I've been graded, my incessant...

    OWL is the Gold Standard, I highly doubt it has errors. tokmom is right, APA Manual is online for freeeeee. But, I don't find the online version very user-friendly, I need my trusty book. Does Amazon...

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

    In a perfect world, the classes would be listed and alllllllll the instructors that teach that class would be listed under the class. But sadly, that's not how it is here. Everyone gets plugged into...

    Ponder this... Why, if I did my references correctly (which of course I did LOL), why don't they show up as pink in TII? Wouldn't there be thousands upon thousands of other students who wrote that...

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