455 Excellence

Nursing Students Ohio University

Published

So I thought I would tell you about my adventure so far with excellence..

Mod 1:

2 "assignments"- one looking at various websites to figure out what they do for the US, not to bad, the second assignment was all about the US Global Health Initiatives, aka ObamaCare, I struggled with this one because well I have major disinterest in the subject

we also had a DB, not bad responses didn't need sources

Mod 2:

Uh.... how about 5 assignments this week... and 2 DBs... some of the assignments weren't hard, i mostly struggled with the DBs because one was about medicare and medicaid, and one assignment was all about the various types of insurance, HMO PPO PSO etc.. VERY exhausting

Deltaroxxy, I have a question for you. I want to get a head start on this class this weekend. Do the assignments listed in 455 correlate to the ones in the textbook? (i.e. for week 1 does student activity 1-1 correlate with the activity in the textbook 1-1). Thanks!

Hi…I've returned my book, so I have no idea if they correlate...

I still have until september before I will be taking this class, but I am just wondering if this class can be taken simultaneously with another nursing class?

Thoughts on taking Excellence with Mgnt/Strategic planning??? I know the new combo course is an unknown. Just curious...if 455 is just busy and not hard it might be an option???

Is that combo class going to be a 6 credit class? Not sure how busy Excellence is - but the single management and strategic planning classes did have one of chuckster's busy-work factors associated with them. The only plus with those classes, is they were direct and to the point.

I feel farily certain it will be a 6 credit course. How is Family Nursing? A lot of work? I so want to be done!

Excellence is BUSY, but it's the kind of busy where you could knock out 5 assignments in 1 day. Not a whole lot of searching all over the place for info/references. You guys will breathe a sigh of relief when you get to 455….So "if" you are going to double up, I wouldn't stress about doing it w/455.
