  1. GCU RN to BSN capstone course

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

    Hi Flames. No, it shouldn't be that long. We have a 1250 - 1500 word count limit on the final project. That seems pretty small doesn't it? Our lit review was over 8 research articles. It is still...

  2. GCU RN to BSN capstone course

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

    I am in week 6 of the Capstone, and yes, there is a lot of extra documentation. I did not have too many issues about acquiring a mentor. My facility had an agreement with GCU in the MSN program, but...

  3. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

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

    There were papers on the evolution of nursing care, the IOM report, reflections on your nursing practice, and the group project was on the pros and cons of continuing education. The group project in...

    Ilikeletters, I would agree, you could probably do Trends and Patho together. Yes, both have group projects, and Patho only has one DQ per week, but don't be fooled - you will need more than a couple...

    Hi Fan. There is a mentor evaluation form to fill out and turn in to get that person approved as your mentor. They need to have at least a BSN and have been a RN for two years. You will also need...

  6. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

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

    I am getting ready to start week 4 in the "new" 10 week Capstone class. It appears to be very similar to the previous 5 week class, but not nearly as intensive. We actually do not need 15 articles...

  7. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

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

    Got my PICOT approved. I didn't think it would be an issue, but you never know. OMG the assignments for this first couple of weeks are so incredibly confusing. I think they actually went out of...

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

    Duly noted. I have a PICOT ready, with articles. I'll send it to my prof for feedback. The instructions for these first two weeks are pretty confusing. I can never understand why academia has to...

    Congratulations Krystalized!! I am sure that feels awesome. I am so looking forward to not having some kind of deadline hanging over my head. I start my capstone, and last class, tomorrow. Enjoy...

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

    Hi Flames. As you have mentioned before, the DQs are not generally difficult. It does get a bit monotonous as it seems like we all regurgitate the same information. I wish they would mix up the DQs...

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

    Hi NayNae. Yep, Spirituality was challenging - surprisingly I think that I have gotten the most out of that class than many of the others. Just finishing up Pathophysiology now - in the 5th week,...

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

    I am on week four of Pathophysiology, then I have Trends, and then Capstone! I agree, I am ready to be done as well. Glad it is going well. Did you have to pick your research topic and PICOT and...

    Hi Krystalized, just wondering how Captsone went, have you completed it, or are you near

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

    Just wondering how the new Capstone 10 week version is going? Has it gotten more clear? Is it still pretty much the same as before, but just have a longer time to complete it. Your project is...

  18. Online RN to BSN experience

    4mranch replied to PStar's topic in General Students

    Hi PStar. To me, the online classes are no more or no less stressful than the classroom. You still need to perform, you still need to get passing grades. The big difference with the online classes...

  19. Is nursing school as bad as they say?

    4mranch replied to sarahelaine08's topic in General Students

    Hi Sarah. I think that nursing school is as bad as you make it out to be. Yes, it will take up a lot of your time, but it should not be "all consuming". I did it while working part time and raising...

    Hi hope. I am in the GCU program, gone through 8 classes, and have never seen a list of "good" professors. I follow the rubric for the assignments, answer the 2 discussion questions and 6 replies...

    Thanks for the heads up tokmom, no rioting here. The IL regulation site and BON info is like trying to navigate a never ending loop - no end in site, and can't find what you are looking

  23. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

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

    Tokmom, I looked on the Illinois BON site and could not find any kind of "list" of allowed schools. I would have to echo flames's assessment regarding a clinical component for two reasons - one, the...

    HI jnsculpepper, my advisor has it set up that I roll right into my next class at the end of the current class that I am in. I get a confirm or deny message about 2 weeks prior to the start of the...

    Hi Howlee. I took Statistics in September and if it wasn't for the youtube video links that Flames provided I would not have passed. The link, or person doing the videos is tina9msu. Ended up...
