O.K. So I finished my first semester of my online RN to BSN

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

and it went quite well. Once I got over the shock of being back in school.

I made an A in "Concepts of Profressional Nursing" and an A in "Chemistry"!!!!!!!

Both instructors were generous. In Concepts, we had to write a paper on "what have you learned in thsi course" and she basically gave everyone a 100 on that one. In Chemistry we had an extra credit assignment worth 15 points added to one of the tests, which raised my grade to a 99 average. :)

Now on to semester two which is Statistics and Nursing Reasearch.

Graduation date: May 2007! (seems a little more possible now, but I'm still lazy and may take my time).

I'm in Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences btw.

:balloons: CONGRATULATIONS, TWEETY!!!:balloons:

You are inspiring me to want to return for my BSN!

Way to go Tweety!!

It may seem like it will take forever, but take it from someone who just finished the RN-BSN.... it will be over so fast!!! Seems like I had only been in the program a month or so, and I grad this past Fri night. Like someone else said, the hardest part is starting back, and you are well past that now!

Good luck!

Tweety - congrats on finishing the first semester! From one RN-BSN student to another ... that is a great accomplishment. Good luck with stat and research ... let us know how it is going.

I am starting stat shortly .... and research also. Don't mind the research, but not sure I am all too thrilled about stat! I might be sending you an email asking for help. LOL

How long are your semesters at FHCHS?

Congrats again Tweety.

Thanks again folks!

Patrick the semesters are 16 weeks long, with each class condensed to 8 weeks. With a few exceptions chemistry was 10 weeks. Pharmacology is going to be 10 weeks as well. Some others are five weeks (I'm still amazed that they can accellerate a 3-hour credit course to 5 weeks) but mostly the courses are 8 weeks, so you wind up with 6 hours, two courses, a semester. Next semester, if I survive this one, is three 5 week courses.

Good luck to you!

Way to go !

It must feel great to get Chemistry out of the way. . . and with an A! :Melody:

Good luck with Stats--I'm taking it myself this semester, but in class; no way could I do it on-line. I have to have a real-life teacher to throw myself at the mercy of :p .
