    I keep hearing about you guys talk about tasks, how many tasks do you have for each class? What do the tasks consist of? 86toronado, what do you have to complete for NVT2? I'm so anxious, I really want to get started. I want to be done by June 2012.

    I just passed my first assessment for NVT2! Turned it in last Friday, and got my results late yesterday afternoon (Eastern time). My goal is to turn in one assessment per week, so far I am right on track, will turn in assessment #3 this Friday. I have one interview done for task 2, and three more in the works. Anyone else working on interviews? Any luck getting a nurse researcher?
    The webinar on the community board says that you do not necassarily have to use a researcher, you can use someone that uses research. I used a CNS from our ICU that helped develop evidence based order sets. If you really get into a pinch, you can email the course mentor and they will send you an interview to use.

    The webinars on the community page are very useful. THey outline exactly what they want in your paper. There is one webinar for each task in NVT2.

    Hey everyone!! I'm so glad I happened to come across this thread....I too started RN to BSN Oct 1. In addition to taking the 8 nursing courses, I am having to suffer thru Nutrition, Behavioral, and BioChem. I have just started on Nutrition....and have seen that some of you are currently taking it as well!! I am feeling very overwhelmed since there is no pre assessment and I'm not sure where I stand with the course. I have been working thru the daunting little "assignments" on the COS, but think they may be a waste of time and that I should maybe just concentrate on the chapters and chapter reviews. ANy advice?? Anyone taken the objective exam and have any suggestions on how to focus your time??. Glad I'm not alone out there!! ANd the FB group is a great idea?? Has it been started?? I wouldn't mind getting it up and running if it has not...

    I used the provided interviews and that worked well for me. I also put an ad on craigslist looking for folks to interview and got a few responses.
