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

    ...and this is why it's important to keep things in your computer for later retrieval (save pertinent Lecture Notes, etc.), I have a file called "things I'll probably need to revisit later". I've...

    Ummm, that sounds like more homework!! What the hay!? Dang, don't tell me my job is going to make me USE this degree (after they paid for most of it)??

    I get what you're asking, you're referring to citing secondary sources. In your example, the secondary source is the IOM report (it's secondary because they - the IOM - are citing the primary/original...

    Oh I'm here, just finished my 6th class (Intro to Nursing Research), and am on a mini-break until Ethics starts 5/26. It's tough but I'm glad I chose

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

    To my knowledge there aren't any specific classes you can test out of, your personal program depends on what class credits were accepted from previous school and what you still need. But (I'm pretty...

    I can't imagine an instructor not wanting APA format, what paper is this, the IOM report? If so, look at the rubric under Format, it says "Paper Format (1- inch margins; 12-point-font; double-spaced;...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This is a dilemma I face as editor/proofer as well, how do you think this is going to go over after all is said & done? I ask because one time I had a team member say, "oh and don't touch my...

    I'm going to quote/answer myself here because I guess the template doesn't have bugs. I just called IT support and asked and they said no way, their templates are like Fort Knox (which I would assume...

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

    That's the whole point of their template (even though I think it has a bug in it), you can't change the margins or anything, that's a good thing! APA is stricter-than-strict about certain things, and...

    I read on the internet how you can tell if you got the macros virus: If every time you try to open a document (from somewhere out there from the web) if it doesn't just open it, but instead wants you...

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

    That was me/my instructor for this last class, and I don't know how they would know. I tried to use the GCU APA template for my first paper and yes, it worked, but from then on out I've been having...

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

    I tend to agree with most here, there really is no secret Golden List of professors. The one instructor that I had that I would not ever want again still gave me an A (because I did what the online...

    Grade back on that paper yet? Did it turn out okay? And the CLC? One of our CLC members apparently dropped the class and no one knew 'til tonight...CLC is due in 3d!

  14. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

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

    And therein lies my dilemma for nearly e v e r y assignment/rubric I read. And when you ask (as you did), you now get more work added on that wasn't even mentioned before. How do they grade that, I...

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

    Does that mean you're done with the CLC due tomorrow too? You're not editing/proofing, or did someone else finally "take the wheel" and you have a weekend

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Which is exactly what happened to me, my first assignment in this course came back with so many red track-changes all over the document it looked like a crime scene. Some things I agree with and have...

    HUH? Did she give you alternatives that are more appropriate? I can see doctor = physician, and they = the researchers, the participants, etc., but what for the should/could? "Shall"? And no will? Is...

    I don't like the live chat because I want to speak to a human. Many ways to get there, but here's how I do it: From inside LoudCloud, under the Resources Tab up top, there's a dropdown for Library....

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One time I needed to communicate with a CLC member and she called me from her cell around midnight (which was fine with me, I'm a night owl). She told me she was out in the driveway inside her car...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think we should take a vote. Let's vote on tokmom starting right up into her BSN-MSN at GCU! That way she won't forget us, she can give us insider-info on what that program is like, and she can...

    Have you guys ever called the GCU library for assistance? I hadn't until today, and let me tell you, they are my new BFFs! JRich, call the library and ask them to help you search for your Kangaroo...

    Thanks RN0511 for the GCU Tech FB idea (class 6 and I had no idea this existed?!), I'm all over that thing and reading anything I can find so my issues last night don't happen again. I found this on...
