Family Nursing January

Published

Starting this family nursing course in January and from what I hear this is going to be a hard course. I am looking for the support of my fellow class mates, or any hints from those who have previously taken the class. Thank You.

Can't wait for this class to be over. While this class hasn't been too terrible compared to other classes (community nursing and Health assessment)...the case study questions are way to repetitive. Yeah, I'm waiting until the last day to get this done. Case study paper next week, I haven't looked at the requirements yet, but hoping we can just put all the case study questions together for the paper. Ugh!

Im taking Jr English but there is a post on it. This post is just for family nursing

Is anyone or has anyone taken the Jr English at OU? I am taking it now and my teacher is harshly grading my papers. 17 points out of 50. WTH?

I was so looking forward to a different case study for week 5. Now we have to rehash the same family again? This paper will consist of everything I've written for the past three weeks (which was a bunch of BS). What's the point? Do they want to see if we have the talent to write a paper? At least give us a different topic. It's just so boring.

I haven't looked yet, yeah I'm procrastinating, but if it is just putting all of it together, then that will work. Look at it positively, the work is done, just reword it, add a little more and done. Hoping it's that easy!

So I am wondering if we cut and paste information from our previous posts is that self-plagiarism. Guess I am a little paranoid

Technically yes it is unless you cite the source. Using papers you've already done is considered plagiarism.

More than likely. I read (and re-read) the instructions. It sounds like they want "one" intervention and to expand on that - like what community resources would you use, etc. Did anyone else get that feeling?

That is what I get from the instructions too. However, check out the rubric for this assignment. To try and receive the full points, you need to provide 3 or more interventions and health promotion goals, and 3 or more family resources.

Did anyone else get an announcement about this week's paper? I'm in section 049 here's what I got:

The directions say you need to identify 1 family goal & 1 nursing intervention,

in addition to answering the other questions listed.

This is unclear in the rubric. You only need 1 each.
