No papers

Published

just found out last night that my schools finial clinical class, advanced medical/surgical nursing has no papers due in it. all we need to do is focus on our readings, and pass the tests and post-hesi. i'm a really good test taking and writing papers is so time consuming. there are approximately 5 chapters of assigned reading a week. (most chapters are 50 pages and take 2 hours each to read).

what do you guys think? is a nursing class without papers good or bad? do you prefer reading (and retaining information) or writing papers?

Everyone in my class mastered APA a long time ago.

My last medsurg class does not have any careplans !!! Whoot whoot. We do have weekly assignments though but they seem short and doable. NO papers eithers.

We do have a huge paper in psych that is 12 pages... APA all the way. :uhoh3::uhoh3::uhoh3:

i am not worried about the care plans that are due, i need more practice at that stuff anyways. my assessment and care plan skills are weaker than they should be. so far, our longest paper was around 10 pages. only three classes left! we finish in december! :D

That's how a final nursing class should be. I heard that there's a 50 page paper assignment for my final med-surg class. Honestly, enough of this shizz already.

We were told on day one that our state BON doesn't allow nursing students' grades to be 'padded' with things like paper and extra credit. I guess they can assign them if they so choose to but so far they haven't. Knowing it wouldn't be for a grade, I can imagine some people would put zero effort into writing a paper.
