  2. What are my future options as a psych/addiction nurse?

    rkstjohn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for almost a year. The first 6 months I was on a very rough med/surg floor at a well known hospital. I saw new grads not caring about their patients anymore before they even hit...

    @Jmlr I just realized I have my nursing schedule in my GCU app when I look at the classes. It lists my clinical on Thursday from 6am to 6:05am. Does that just mean I will be scheduled for the 12 hour...

    Ok. Thanks! I hope with the shorter lectures we will still be getting all of the same info somehow. But a 4 hour lecture? My rear would hurt so much. I still don't have a schedule but the website has...

    rkstjohn replied to Jmlr's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for the update. Is this different because they added the clinical or are you saying the labs and clinicals will be during certain weeks and the lecture will be during another time? I know some...

    @surfinandnursing Do not sign up for Global Health issues. I just saw the new nursing schedule and they removed the class. It's unfortunate because I spent a lot of money on it and I thought it would...

    I took it in the fall. It's your typical class with DQ posts and discussion and lots of papers. I'm taking Nutrition online right now and it's actually harder because that professor grades harder. I...

    rkstjohn replied to Jmlr's topic in School, College Programs

    You have been really positive and encouraging. I have heard so much from nursing students about how its the hardest thing you will ever do and how you will want to quit everyday. I'm hoping that with...

    Awesome, you are so helpful. One last question. I took both A&P 201 and 202 last summer and i remember concepts but not every bone and muscle we memorized. Should i spend time reviewing that stuff...

    rkstjohn replied to Jmlr's topic in School, College Programs

    I just found out what the whole Tier 1, 2 and 3 meant. My advisor never spoke to me about it and she never would give me any info on anything really. I have taken over 40 credits at GCU but only 18 of...

    rkstjohn replied to Jmlr's topic in School, College Programs

    I am at Boswell in the Fall and I have a few questions. When do you get your schedule? Is the orientation online? Are clinicals inside the hospital or all over the valley? How many pairs of scrubs...
