Anyone taking Community Health online with OU RN to BSN program that starts 2/18/13? Would like to start a thread for support. Have used this site in past and appreciated having others to share / support.

Yes, I confess I am. Probably not wise but I just want to be done! My rationale is that it's winter and I have nothing better to do. I definitely won't be bored!

I truly admire those of you who are able to take more than one class at a time. I don't think there is anyway I could do two of these classes at once! Maybe I just spend to much time and effort on them, (I think that is the "older" student in me!) but WOW! But I do have a question: Did anyone take the stats class on-line? I haven't taken it yet and am really intimidated by it. Although I used to be fairly good in math, if you don't use it you loose, right? Tell me your experiences, please. Have even looked at taking it in a classroom at nearby colleges but just frustrated - don't want a 16 week, 2 nights a week class when I could suck it up and be done in 5! I also think I saw a reference to one professor being awesome, maybe Karadogan? But I don't see that prof listed for next few times it is offered, just Lassiter and McCarthy, I think. Thoughts, please?

If I didn't take more than one class at a time, I'd retire before I got done. This is the first time I'm taking 2 nursing classes together.

As far as stats, it is doable online. I stink at math but you need very few math skills for stats in my opinion. Look at the stats threads and you'll get an idea that with some effort this class is passable even for those of us without math skills.

Many of us have taken the online stats class, myself included. I didn't have the time or patience for a traditional class, so taking the 5 week online class worked out well for me. I had it with Professor L. I used a lot of the class videos and other online links to figure out much of the content as the class instructions and book were not always much help. You do have to take proctored tests but you can bring all of your stats material with you to use. I was a little intimidated by it at first too but ended up kind of liking it.
