I have not taken a class called nursing informatics. I haven't seen that on my curriculum at all. NR222 was great after the first test!! I hear several people failed it I managed a B+. It was so many chapters of reading! BE prepared to spend about 2-3 hours a day on reading. I bombed the first test and got a 78%!! Lowest score ever since starting school! I learned quickly that I could not breeze through and study last minute like I did my pre-reqs. I read took notes and studied as much as possible with 4 children!! I pulled my grade up after that horrible test. It's not really hard per say but just a lot of reading and notes if possible.[/quote']

This is good advice what books were required for NUR-222?

@mslecia20 Thats awesome that you are so close to the finish line! I am coming in with a lot of my prereq's done as well. I will graduate in 2 years and 8 weeks! :D I take NR 222 next session. I heard Patho is hard NR281. Anyone taken that yet? Advice? Or how about NR 101? What should I/we expect?

:D

I've heard NUR-101 is easy so I'm taking it on campus.

I consider myself to be extremely lucky with the teachers and clinical instructors that I had. For the most part instructors are easy to get a hold of and easy to talk with. As with any course, the instructor can only get you so far and the rest is up to you. Also, there is CAS that is pretty much always open to help students - use them, as they are a vital resource (don't feel bad if you need extra help). You'll learn to lean on your classmates and will form lasting friendships. Only another nursing student or nurse can truly understand the trials and tribulations of Nursing School!

I don't think I used my Code of Ethics book until much later. . And I only used it as a reference for a paper.

You're right but for some reason it was listed as a must have text on the syllabus. I didn't know if it was different in the classroom or not because I took NR 222 online. I think it will depend on the instructor as well on if you actually use it. I just copied and pasted every textbook I had on the list for that class.

So did you find this class easier online? Most folks say its more difficult on campus. Was it a lot of paper writing??
