who else is in Chamberlain RN-BSN program currently

I though session A went good. I just finished up in session A: Math114-Algebra, NR351-Nursing Transitions, and SOC350-cultural diversity. For session B I'm taking Math221-Statistics(which looks like a killer class so far ) and NR448-Information Systems for Health care which has a lot of work in it too! It is going to be a busy 8 weeks. I loved SOC350, I thought it was a great class and not very hard as long as you keep up on the writing. I'm powering through with taking 2-3 classes each 8 week session but I need to get through so I can start in a MSN-NP program next summer so I'm loading up. I think two is doable..if you can get a jump on it early in the week and don't blow stuff off until the end.

I'm going to double up during at least one session. I've heard that the "Collaborative Healthcare" class (NR446) is probably the best one to add in with another class.

I'm doing Health Assessment (NR294) this session. I had a different instructor for my SOCS350, but it was still a lot of writing!

Ok Lisa, good to know!

Good luck to us this session...

Has anyone taking math 221 statistics and survived? I'm spending 8-9 solid hours a day working on this class. I'm still lost and I guess you need to know excel to do this class too. I have never used excel, I'm so screwed. I have barely had time to look at my other class. I need a B in this class to get into graduate school and I have barely slept since Sunday and my stomach is really upset because I just don't get it. I can't believe how many hours a day this class is taking up and I feel like I'm getting no where.

Sue: Which class of stats are you in?? The one with Alicia teaching?? I am in that class now and have only spent a few hours on the class this week. I know I am having a hard time reading the text but I am getting through it.

No, I have someone else. I'm sure I'll get through it but I'm not even done with the all the homework for the week yet. I'm just scared if it keeps getting harder I'm in trouble and have no idea about excel. I have been watching the tutorials but it is like learning a foreign language to me. I still have 2.4 and 2.5 to do for the week's homework and tomorrow is Friday and I'm doing the problems by following the directions step by step but can't say I'm understanding it at all and it is taking hour and hours to do them. I'm just petrified I won't be able to get to 800 points for a B in the class and I need at least a B.

Mid-term check in: How is everyone doing? We are finishing up week 4 and are half way through the term. It has turned out that statistics, while challenging finally clicked in my head. I'm also taking NR448 Informations systems for healthcare, this class that I thought would be super easy has been a bit tougher but still OK.

Doing well! Midway through "health assessment" (NR294). Not a bad class -- just lots of writing! No exams, which is nice, but LOTS of writing. LOL

Next is community health nursing, which I am dreading for some reason!

I'm slogging through statistics myself. I actually understand some of it. The Sunday evening lectures and template downloads help a lot.

I'll be taking informatics in Jan 2010. What are the course requirements? Thanks.

I took Assessment about a year ago. You're right, there's a paper due every week. However, I'm fairly talented in that area. Have you tried a template to deal with the citations? I can show you where to get one if you need it.
