by adnrnstudent Mar 14Taking my 1st ADN-BSN class. Thinking of dropping it with only 1 week left.
1st class and already a 6 to 8 page paper. A concept analysis of 1 of the following 4 words: Caring, Hope, Trust, or Fear.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I have absolutely no idea what to say.
The structure of these programs MUST change.
I don't want to write papers every 5 weeks. I want to read a book and take a test.
Print and share with friends and family.

Mar 14 by roseonyeThen you have to go to hybrid school. Chamberlain is not a lot of paper but you have to make at least 2 post per course which is fine. Typing paper is great you get used to it - Mar 14 by Susie2310I attended a state university for my ADN-BSN approx 16 years ago. We were required to write papers of the length you describe or complete similar length assignments for virtually all the classes. Why is it ridiculous to have to write papers in college? Didn't you expect to be challenged to learn? Colleges aren't just supposed to hand you a degree.
- Mar 14 by adnrnstudentI could finish all of medical school easier than I could write a 6-8 page paper about a single word. It is RIDICULOUS and I don't expect to be handed nothing, but I do expect assignments that make sense.
I guess I just got to have faith that a school exists with common sense nursing assignments.
No BSN for me I guess. -
Mar 14 by queenjulieWhy would a college *not* require you to write papers? Learning to do research and write critical papers is a vital part of a college education--one of the most fundamental parts, in my opinion. -
Mar 14 by marycarneyWow- you're going to give up furthering your education because of the assignments? Really? You must not really want it - because sometimes you just have to suck it up and do what they ask. - Mar 14 by adnrnstudentI didn't have to do anything like this for my B.S. or MBA.
I find no educational value in writing a 6-8 page paper on a word.
The number 1 reason ADN students say they resist ADN-BSN is the papers, so I'm not alone. My spouse is in room now and read assignment and just said it's the dumbest assignment she's ever seen. - Guide

Now go write an 8-page paper with your response! Just kidding. I agree that an assignment like that is less useful if you're already a nurse, but I know you can do it if you get in the right mind-set. I wouldn't drop out of your program because of a relatively minor annoyance.Last edit by nursel56 on Mar 14 : Reason: add some stuffbesaangel and lizdamaris like this. - Mar 14 by marycarneyQuote from adnrnstudentIt's difficult to take you seriously when you make broad statements like the first sentence.I could finish all of medical school easier than I could write a 6-8 page paper about a single word.
