So my advisor says they still have group projects. Someone I was in the BSN program now has an MSN and said they didn't have any???? Ugh

Yeah. I had some real slackers and just don't want to deal with that again. I'm hoping they've eliminated them since it's big dissatisfaction piece for many people.

Thank you. Group projects are a deal breaker for me. LOL

Hey all. I finished my BSN with GCU in 2015. Recently started my MSN education with Aspen which is fine but I realized GCU requires 9 classes and Aspen requires 12. Aspen is bit more flexible allowing 6 months off between classes and no group projec...

Best wishes Winter. I hope you love where you are. Moving is so much work. I don't know envy you! LOL

No pay increase for me with a BSN. There is a $2500 bonus but you have to commit for 2 years additional employment if you take it. I'm debating whether to take it or not since I live 94 miles from my employer. With now having a BSN I could apply for ...

My coworker tested out of a class with the substance abuse exam and she said it was a good one.

Instructors can definitely make or break a course. Thank goodness for all the suggestions through this forum.

Same here. I just found an alternative one on my own.

If you haven't tried thinking storm please try it before you drop. They will literally walk you through the assignments.

Enjoy Winter! Congrats on the hubs nailing a new job. Will you need to relocate? There's still that $10,000 sign on bonus at my hospital for new hires and the person who referred them!

Woohoo. Doesn't it feel sooo good.....almost eery that you're done....like really for real done...no paper or DQ to do....it's heavenly.

beccajean. One of my coworkers took the substance abuse one and said it wasn't bad.

So close Winter. It's kinda weird to actually be able to relax without guilt....but make no mistake I AM NOT COMPLAINING. Congrats to you ladies who walked. Me and 2 workers debated flying to AZ to walk but ones getting married in October and I'm go...

I'm traveling to my nieces BSN graduation in May with zero guilt of things needing to be done. Also picking up some extra shifts at work since I have 2 kids in college. But it's nice to feel like I actually have time to relax on my days off. I'm so...

So glad you decided to go ahead and take Capstone earlier than you planned. She is definitely worth the initial stress of doubling up. You'll be done before you know it. Yippee!!

Free time is good. I actually went down to my moms who lives 3 hours away and spent the entire day with her and also saw my brothers and visited my dad at the cemetery. Ah....I am loving the free life LOL

I thought after the lit review it was less stressful although the week 3 paper took me quite a long time so maybe after week 3 it's better......but you will get it done and then you'll be enjoying life!

Winter you've lost your mind. LOL. I'm pretty sure I'm done. We will see if I get tired of having free time. Haha

My final word count was 8824. 31 pages i am just giddy to be done! As luck would have it I am officially done on Sunday and I have to work that night.

Seriously......best instructor ever!! And I just submitted my final paper! Just a couple DQ replies left and I'm a BSN prepared RN. Ha. Who woulda thought this day would finally come. :). Highly recommend this instructor. The most supportive and he...

Started piecing together my FINAL assignment for my BSN. WOOHOO. I can't wait. As I'm finishing up others who started a different program before I started are still taking various religion classes or whatnot that their chosen school requires. If ...

I did mine just before flu season so I made a trifold board for my presentation along with handouts on flu prevention and went to an assisted living facility and did a teaching session.

Trudging right along. Pretty sure I have the best instructor EVER to teach at GCU. Incredibly supportive and helpful......3 more weeks.

I have overlapped a week or two for several classes on the last half of the program. The trick is to try and get ahead on the first class so you basically only have to do DQ responses for that class as you're beginning the next. I have shaved severa...
