This video is incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much for going through each course and explaining what to expect. As I'm researching which RN-BSN program to choose, it's frustrating trying to compare programs when I don't know what to expect in terms of the courses or workload. I wish programs would explain this on their websites so students know! Your breakdown of each course's assignments and level of difficulty has inspired me to apply for Capella's program. I really appreciate your video!

@veryvanessa 4 жыл бұрын

There are step by step instructions on the website creation. The PowerPoints are pretty easy, write the paper first and then create a PowerPoint with bullet points. Add a title and reference page. The video is kind of intimidating but pretend you’re giving a presentation to a class or group of people. For the video presentations I’d create the paper first and then read the paper word for word on video.

Can you add new classes during the cycle or you need to wait for new cycle to add classes? In other words, can you open, start, and finish a class in the middle of a cycle? Thank you so much for your time!!! Your videos on Capella are SOOO helpful!!

Absolutely, I'm glad to help. You can rearrange your target dates. I've even changed my target date a day after it was "due" and it was fine. You can take up to 2 classes at a time. So once you're finished with one, you can close it out and enroll for another class.

Hey! I tried looking everywhere for this answer (maybe I missed it). Why was financial aid a mess for you at Capella? I currently get financial aid for my ADN program. I graduate in May 2022, and I’m looking apply to Capella. While Capella is affordable than most RN to BSN programs, I still want to look for aid. Another question I have is I heard at WGU they only have pass/fail and not a GPA scale (well they have one but it’s an automatically 3.0 when you pass). Is this the same for Capella? I don’t want to narrow my chances at advancing my education because of this. Hopefully, you’ll see this and reply. Thank you.

@veryvanessa 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! So I qualified for tuition reimbursement through my employer. I finished my degree in 2 terms and my degree was withheld for 6 months because my employer did not approve my reimbursement. So unfortunately…… I ended up making payment instalments until my degree was paid off. Thankfully I still received the discount but there were some things I did not know about regarding financial aid until the last minute. My advice is to ensure you’re following up with financial aid AND the billing department at the start of each term. They will let you continue taking your courses but if there’s a balance not paid you won’t be able to collect your degree.

You did not lie about 4050 I hated that class. I am on my last assignment for 4060 I have finished the first three assignments in 6 days. I’m nervous about the capstone did you do any hours? I’ve read a requirement of 9 hours.

Yesss 4050 was brutal. I'm sure you're almost finished by now! I did have to do some hours but it wasn't so bad.

How were you able to move through so many classes in such a short time? are you allowed to just sign up and start another class when you complete one?

@veryvanessa 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. I would complete all assignments and then open up the next class while waiting on grades.

Hi! So for this particular program you will need to become an RN first.

is Capella pass/fail or grades based?

@veryvanessa 4 жыл бұрын

MrYodi2007 Hey, so for Flexpath it’s competency based. Non-Proficient=F, Basic=C, Proficient=B, Distinguished=A. Once you transfer to grad school they will convert your scores to letter grades and give you a GPA.

@@veryvanessa Thanks alot! Because I'm wanting to get my PMHNP! Both schools Im looking at are competitive and want either a 3.0 or 3.2 minimum for my last 60 or so hours. Im a full-time PCC RN on inpatient rehab 6 of the 14 days I work, a father of an autistic son, have a grandson, and my wife is currently out of work d/t covid-19. I talked to the Georgia Southern program director and She said that since I went to the Best ADN school in the state even with my low undergrad gpa of 1.97, that they see I attempted to learn and not just pass the class. She said I would still need 3 recommendation letters from higher up health professionals and submit my personal written letter that would help my case to get in. She also stated that they can take WGU grades, that it would be better to get actual grades that show a trend upwards in grades after during undergrad school.

I’m not scared of writing papers or completing some of these assessments. However, what I am scared of is choosing a professor that is very tedious when it comes to grading. I know this BSN program comes with putting in hard work, so I am not asking for a slap on the wrist. Perhaps you may suggest professors that are easy going? Or maybe even make us aware of professors not to choose for courses?

@veryvanessa 3 жыл бұрын

They were all fair graders in my opinion. Very straight forward and I've had to revise a few of my papers to get a higher score. I will say that 4050 and 4060 were the two most difficult courses but very doable.

@Kassiex5 4 жыл бұрын

I honestly hate Capella. It’s not as simple as it sounds . It’s so much reading to sort through to be able to compose a paper that would be graded appropriately.. it’s extremely time consuming & I really hate it. I’ve tried so many ways to avoid spending too much time on an assessment, and it’s like right when I try to be quick and to the point, I get such poor grades... you really have to put a lot of time into it. How she was able to finish so fast remains a huge mystery to me.

@veryvanessa 4 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry you're having a difficult time. I've always been a pretty strong writer and not a great test taker. I actually dropped out of WGU's RN to BSN program because of all of the competency tests. Writing papers is fairly easy for me. I was also pretty motivated by not wanting to pay tuition again. I'd definitely try to reach out to your Coach or a tutor for some help on writing the papers.
