  1. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, me too. First late assignment ever. I submitted to TII at 11:20p and started to freak around 11:45p. I logged onto the portal, under Quick Links on the left is the link for Technical Support....

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OMG No no no I wasn't really on! It's one of the millions of tabs I have open on my `puter! I swear, I'm writing my

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That has to be a mistake and will just take a call to your advisor to fix. There are tons of classes that start every single Monday, to the point that if you're in one class and you need to switch,...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think one of the reasons I H8 them so much is because it's a crap-shoot every time (who you'll get), and you really have no time ( Just once, once please, I'd like to be the person that does 3...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm soooo glad you were able to change, one whackadoodle can wreck 5 weeks of your life (I had that in Family Centered Health Promotion & I think tokmom/pandora had that in Spirituality...). Then...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think that paper was when I first realized what Flames always says... "Figure out what they want and give it to them" (or something like that). BTW, anyone who is gearing up to write that ADN/BSN...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    jj, you've started, yes? Day 4 in the bag? What do you think so far?? Are you getting geared up to write the ADN vs. BSN paper? Tell,

  8. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Aimeedarling, I agree with tokmom, with my 4-cents added in (of course lol). This is why the due-date for submissions to the proofer/editor should be the Thursday BEFORE the thing is due. This gives...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know, that's one nervous click, ey?! One of these days I'm going to be so tired I'll click on the wrong thing and accidentally submit my chili recipe or my dog's vet bill

  10. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's funny, I had a similar anxiety attack when I submitted my first paper in my first class. I clicked "submit" to TII, and waited...and waited...and waited... 45 minutes went by and I started to...

    I'm not sure (not tech-savvy here), but I think you CAN download them if you want to? I just have the Pageburst website saved as a fav, click it open, click on my book, and it opens right

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Regarding stats, this book was helpful to me: Google the term "medical statistics from scratch 2008" and this author's latest book will pop up in many places. You can peek at a few pages on Amazon,...

  13. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One tip here: don't do what I did and order things or waste time on materials that pertain to statistics in general. Since the language was so foreign to me I literally needed to start at the very...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ain't that the truth, the exact same thing happened to me, and it only takes once to force you to learn the inner workings of your computer and figure out how to make your programs auto-save as you go...

  15. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh no, no, if Prism said that, I lied. I wish that was my life, but sadly it isn't! What I think I remember saying is that I get my DQ's done in advance (try to do them on weekends - best case...

  16. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just had a thought: Wouldn't it be wonderful if the staff all had their bio's and class instructions (and weird little idiosyncrasies) posted out and you could read them all and YOU get to decide...

  17. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    HERE HERE I second that! I want to ask my advisor that very question, but haven't mustered up the gumption to do it yet. It is SOOO frustrating when I am in a class that I KNOW for a fact that others...

  18. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yay! And I agree with RN0511, this may be your last weekend of freedom but if I were you...I'd open up that class, download the syllabus, read any instructor Announcements for quirks s/he may have...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What is that? I've never heard of it -

  20. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This sounds strange to me, is Professional Dynamics listed later in your course schedule? Or did you not have to take it based on previous classes you may have done? Having gone through all those...

  22. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for that, I bookmarked it because it looks like a good one. I love internet citation makers. BTW, here's the link to the actual APA (bookmark this), you will use it a billion times, TONS of...

  23. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, don't let anybody fool you, it is hard work. It's not uncommon to start a class with 25 and a few days or a week later see the class roster down to 18. I started this program with a "twin"...

  24. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi jjPeds, I know Flames has mentioned the ppt tutorials on GCU, but I myself didn't view those. I, like you, had never done a ppt before GCU (I'm an expert now! lol) I did two things: I opened up my...

    PrismRN replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    WELCOME ON IN! Regarding PERRLA, yes, it is my savior, best $29 bucks I ever spent. BUT, good for you for reading up on APA, because every now and then PERRLA throws me a curveball and I think "that...
