Yep, me too. The reading takes much longer than you would expect. Thank goodness we got a jump start!

3 or 4 hours my foot! I have been working on the statistical data for much longer than that! Still have to write my analysis and come up with ND. Gotta love statistics - especially "self reported" statistics to the census bureau. According to them - my county isn't overtly obese ... HA! Someone LIED to the census bureau

Anybody have any luck with the death statistics? I'm having a hard time finding those. Maybe WHO website will be better?

I found most everything at the CDC or at Kaiser StateHealthFacts.org

I actually had to walk away from this messI also need to do the diagnosis and analysis. I did my introduction DB and they won't let us post it until midnight....hahaha....can't win today! Yes, this is what 5 credits is like! My TA sounds very friendly, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Much calmer this class. Crap it only took me 4 classes to get that way :lol2:

I have had my TA in my last course, she was fair with her grading. I am in sect 103. What about you guys? This class is very time consuming and I hope it gets better cuz I am taking stats with it!!! Dumb, but I have already committed.

Specializes in Hematology/Oncology.

Almost done with the first assignment, just a few more stats to find, write my analysis, and nursing diagnoses...So far, I'm only about 2 hours into it. Doesn't seem horribly time consuming...yet! Then again...my time consuming class was Family nursing, so compared to that, this is a piece of cake. Statistics, I can easily find and transfer...

I'm sure I've spent in excess of 10 hrs between the assignment and reading.:mad: If you live podunksville it's much harder.

Specializes in Psychiatric-Mental Health.

I took Community Health at Kent State before transferring to OU. When I compared the syllabus, the assignments were exactly the same. Pretty straightforward but VERY time-consuming! I was glad for it to be over, but I learned a lot about the resources in my community. You can do it!
