Nursing Students Ohio University
Published Jan 10, 2013
Starting this family nursing course in January and from what I hear this is going to be a hard course. I am looking for the support of my fellow class mates, or any hints from those who have previously taken the class. Thank You.

The midterm and the final are what makes Family so hideous. Group projects can be a challenge but I was fortunate to have a good bunch to work with. Just do your part - and comment and add suggestions to what your group members post and you will be fine for that part of the class. Hopefully the instructor has changed and there has been a tremendous adjustment in what is covered on the midterm and final exams. Good luck.
I didn't see anything about a midterm and a final. Also none of the group things talk about actually working with members other than normal discussion board posts. Maybe I'm missing something?

I read someone had posted that they got a response to an email or something saying it will be more of a "project" than an actual clinical. It will be able to be done at your place of employment if you work, or somewhere in the community if not. They are doing it more as a lab is my understanding.
That's what I was told too...it's going to be a "project" .
Maybe, just maybe...they learned something from the previous class. I know, wishful thinking :)
I just found out I have the TA from h*ll again...grrrr.

So for the definition of Family do you think we need a total of 4 references (2 in text and 2 extra) or just a total of 2. Not good that I am so confused already. and DidiRN how did you find out who your TA is, I still have no correspondence.

I am very happy to say that this will be my last semester at OU. Since they switched to semesters it has been an uphill battle. I have 2 gen ed classes and Im completely done. If I ever have to look at another school book it will be too soon. I keep hearing " School's Out" theme song playing in my mental background. lol
I am taking Family, excellence and Jr Eng.

Oh no. I looked and didn't have any info posted. But I didn't get back on yesterday. I need to go look and see who I have.

This class doesn't look that bad. I agree with you, I think I'm used to the pace and the output for the work by now.
Maybe they made some changes since summer when it was offered. I thought I read something about winter last year having quizzes, and we have none of those. But even though we are placed into groups, it's simply for the case studies. The work is individual. Maybe I'm just getting used to the program and expect the classes to be a lot of work, but it seems to be about what all the classes run, which is a lot as it's all crammed into 5 weeks. It is considered an accelerated program though. We're doing a 3 or 4 credit class in 5 weeks. Guess we will see how it goes!
I didn't see anything about a midterm or final either. The same with the group thing. I think they changed things for us? Maybe?
I just looked, I've never had this TA before. Guess I'll see how it goes.
It's 2 references, no more than 3. You can have one ref. be your textbook and one has to be a peer reviewed journal.
