BSN students, how much writing are you doing?

That seems about right to me. I had at least one writing assignment for each class plus lab. I hate writing. Thank goodness term is over for a few weeks of well-earned vacation!

I had one counselling paper (12 pages) and one health history assessment (not really a paper). Otherwise, I had some small 1-2 page lab assignments and an assessment assignment in our text due every week, but nothing else. 5 papers! Whoa, I pity you guys!!!

Last semester i had a term paper for each of my 4 classes and a paper for clinical because i was in community all semester, which was ontop of smaller written assignments for all thoses classes. Sometimes i feel if we spent as much time in clinical as we do writting papers, we'd all be super nurses! :s

I just about fell off my chair when I read your post!! What I would do to only have one paper per course! On average we have 2-4 per class and these do not include our learning binders which must include all evidence of learning for the entire term. The papers range from 5-15 pages depending on the class. We have even been required to write 3 anatomy papers (15-20 pgs each), these were probably the most difficult to write but I definitely learned alot throughout the process. Consider yourself lucky! I have never had such a heavy workload in all my years of University, they really push us in the BScN program here at McMaster. Good luck with the papers you have and take advantage of the fact that you can really apply yourself to that one paper. Keep on keeping on...

The length of the papers are at a minimum 10 pages, with one major research project at the end of the semester. Sorry to hear u have it rough, just keep plugging away I guess. All the best to ya!
