Forgive me for I am new here, but I am desperately seeking out information from current or previous students in the RN-to-BSN program, especially if they had taken more than one NRSE course per 5 week term. (If anyone knows how I can finally be approved to be in the [Ohio University RN to BSN online-academic outreach initiative] group on facebook, that would also be awesome.
Allow me to provide a little history on myself: I began at LCCC in 2010 as an online-only student, completing prerequisites for my nursing courses. Gradually I began to take the on-campus classes needed to be accepted into the nursing program, until finally I was accepted into & completed the ADN-RN program. So I have had plenty of success with online courses. I have not, however, had many required APA assignments; only 2-3 I believe in the nursing program, but I honestly do not know how strictly they adhered to the APA formatting while grading the papers as they were mostly (in my opinion) busywork assignments. Obviously the ones in the RN-to-BSN program will be vastly different.
Now, I am pretty determined to finish this program as quickly as possible, so I would love to know which courses would be best to pair up in a 5 week term. I also have a few non-nursing courses to complete, but I am not too concerned with them. Currently, for the fall, I am registered for {term1: NRSE 4510 & Fashion, term2 NRSE 4550 evidence based, & term3: NRSE 4580 leadership}.
The non-nursing courses I still have to take will be Exploring Musical Styles, Business Communication, and Intro to Ethics.
I have been hearing alot of ppl say that its better to take NRSE 4510 alone just to get acquainted with the program. I have also heard some say that they took stuff like PETE or Music and survived. I think that it just depends on the individual. I also see you stated that you enrolled into 3 sets of 5 week classes at once......I only registered for Fall #2. I really hope that that third session doesnt fill up too fast.
Well, I was finally added to the Facebook group! So, now that my girls are in bed, it's time to have a glass of wine and read through all of these posts, haha.
I feel like my life has been totally consumed by waiting for the semester to start and trying to land my first job (I just passed the NCLEX on 6/30). Trying my best to be ready for success, but the waiting game is torture, haha.
Congrats on passing way to go!!! Glad they finally added you enjoy cause theres alot to read. :)
