    4mranch replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I believe the scholarly activity is not a weekly requirement, but rather a one time thing and you write a paper about

    I sent you a

  3. GCU RN to BSN capstone course

    4mranch replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I finished the newer Capstone class and I would have to say that the paper itself is the easiest part of the class. The other documentation was VERY confusing. I routinely asked the professor if he...

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, I started the course without site approval. They had my information for a few weeks prior to the start of the class. My mentor did have to send them an email that stated that I had approval to...

  5. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    For my immersion hours I counted the time spent researching and writing about my project, as well as time spent on assignments. The bulk of the immersion hours that I logged where spent on my...

  6. GCU RN to BSN capstone course

    4mranch replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Online Distance Learning

    knight05, Sorry to hear that your Capstone experience has been such a nightmare. I too had to receive site approval. It took about 4 weeks to get the final approval, and during that time I was able...

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    You are correct that the capstone project is a research paper on an area/topic that you see needs improvement or modification. It can address an existing policy or a new policy and does not need to...

  8. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I got this assignment confused with the lit review. I believe on this assignment I just had a paragraph in the paper that stated something like "Several studies will be used to support this...

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Those 8+ research articles are the ones that you will be using/referencing in your final paper. If I recall correctly you write a short review of each article for this assignment. Those 750 words go...

  10. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Agreed, it is confusing. You can have the journal entries "loosely" tie back in to your project. The instructor I had explained that the journal entries can cover your Capstone experience - not just...

  11. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    In regards to the journal entries - the final journal is turned in at the end of the class. What I did is at the end of each week I would explain what I did that week, if I had an interesting...

  12. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I never saw a list of instructors to avoid. I did not really have any trouble with the instructors I had. Maybe I was just lucky. Getting feedback was faster with some than with others. I really...

    4mranch replied to larock187's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi jjmerc. The only break I took between classes was the required 2 week break at Christmas. I worked night shift (7p - 7a), 36 - 48 hours a week, 12 hour shifts. It was very doable as long as you...

  14. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    The purpose of the mentor is to offer guidance and suggestions with your project, and as a sounding board and someone else to bounce ideas off of. In my opinion the purpose of the clinical site is to...

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Chrissybear. I just finished the capstone class in July. Immersion hours are the hours you spend working on you project and assignments such as research time, writing time, etc. It does not...

    4mranch replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They combined the spirituality class and the ethics class into one 5 week class. This allowed the final Capstone class to be 10 weeks, but not require you to go an additional 5 weeks longer in the...

  17. Adn or bsn ? Need help choosing!!

    4mranch replied to RN_OneDay's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would suggest going right into a BSN program. You will find work as an ADN, but more doors will open with a BSN. Also, if you still have to do your pre-reqs you are going to spend a year doing...

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I have not had any issues with my employer recognizing my BSN from GCU. I also have 2 coworkers that went through GCU, also with no issues. I am with Flames on the doubling up of classes. My...

    Hi kobe. During the first week, we were required to submit the ISP completed except for the columns with the number of hours, the self-assessment, and the date assignment completed (those could be...

    4mranch replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    This is how my instructor explained it to me. In the table there are 6 columns. The first column is the topic due that week. In the second column list the domains addressed in that topic (domains...

    I don't believe your mentor has to be in the exact same field as your project, but they do have to be a BSN or higher in their education. Best of luck with your

    I just finished the program. I am not planning on attending graduation in the fall. It was offered, but I live in the midwest and do not feel the need to go through the

    4mranch replied to larock187's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi jjmerc. The only break I took was the mandatory Christmas break which was 2 weeks. With student loans I believe you can take breaks between classes - I think 2 weeks, but not sure - like Flames...

    4mranch replied to larock187's topic in School, College Programs

    I just submitted my last assignments for the Capstone class! I worked full time throughout the program. I did not double up any classes as it just would not have worked out well for my schedule....

    Hi Nea, I asked for clarification on this as well and our professor supplied a sample ISP so we could better understand what they were asking
