Family Nursing (NRSE 330) summer 2012

Published

Well i will be in this class for the summer session, i am hoping this experiencve wil be a positive one.

How did they fix it...?? they are making me take a boat load of extra courses. I wish I could get out of at least some of them somehow.
Are you sure this is your final DARS? I went through something similar (seeing a ton of additional non-nursing courses appearing as outstanding on my DARS) and called the school. My advisor pointed out that there are a number of interim DARS and assured me that she would doublecheck everything before the final evaluation was released. She even went over the evaluation with me - no mean feat as I had 11 transcripts spanning more than 20 years - and gave me her opinion on what would transfer and what they could waive. When the final DARS was released, it reflected everything we talked about.

It may not be time to panic.

Chuckster, thanks for the words of encouragement. I don't think I will be getting any thing changed. They held my lower division nurisng courses in "escrow" until I passed my first 2 nsg courses, which I have. Then they applied 90 credit hours ( quarter hours) for that and waived micro and A&P but that is all.

I have to take the nursing courses plus: Nutrition, Psych 101, Soc 101, cross cultural, Jr Composition, Early Childhood and Adol development, Chemistry, Fine Arts, and even Freshman Comp, which I am trying to test out of.

I am a diploma grad and didn't take any extra courses over the years except a 1 hr course, Fundamentals of Teaching in Health.

But really I worked in Peds for 5 years, and we had early childhood growth and development in out Pediatrics Nursing course, so I don't understand why I have to take that one. I'm just thinking about the time and the money... I thought I could be done in a year or a year and a half, until I got hit with these extra courses.

OMG!!! I seriously wish I would have seen this thread sooner!!

I was SOOO ****** at the end of this course. *** were those exams about? Could they seriously come up with any more extremely obscure, yet horribly specific, questions??

I bombed both exams. And after receiving 100% for the first 3 case studies, she took of tons of points on the last one. I wound up with a B+. I emailed her asking if I was just way below the curve or what. I answered the questions in the exact same way as the first 3 modules.

Could anyone who has already taken family nursing online at Ohio University tell me what chapters you had to read. I have ordered the book and want to start reading soon. Thanks !

I know this is an old thread but I'm posting. I'm starting family in January. If everyone is failing the exam, session after session after session, why the heck doesn't the school fix the language in their tests?

Well the test were just crazy, with that said we received no curves. This was my absolute worst class at OU. Hopefully they changed it for the better and you don't have the instructor we did.

I'm sitting out OU for spring semester. I hope to take Family next time around. Let us know how it goes and if things have improved.

Good Luck

I'm in for Jan start as well. I always fear the worst but usually end up pleasantly surprised. Worst case scenario-it will be as bad as expected. That is the beauty of the 5 week format. As soon as you think you have reached your limit, it's over and on to the next one. We will get through this one too, and when we look back we will think it wasn't so bad afterall. :-)
