Good job! Your on it! I as well have done all the readings, the discussion postings and the APA exercise-- which was really hard!!! I'm scared to take the self test but since we can take it twice I will attempt it tonight, lol. and I'm pretty scared to even start the personal statement..lol! I always save the worst for last! So far I still have first day jitters! I'm new to this online class thing but I think I might like it....

Yeah the APA exercise thing was hard. Still not entirely sure I did everything right, but... The self test isn't bad at all. Still no idea on what to do with the personal statement paper. Hopefully something will come to me. I'd much rather write a nursing paper than write about myself lol. Worked the first of my three 12 hour 7p-7a shifts last night. Although 7a turned into 8a. UGH.

4510 is annoying. That's my week 1 assessment!

AgentBeast, MSN, RN · May 20, 2013

Yeah I hate this already.

As much as you all hate 4510, it does a good job of getting you used to the flow of how the program works. Pay attention to the APA exercises and comments from your TA, because this program is heavy into the APA format! Every nursing course has the same expectations about your doing APA format, and some TA's grade harsly for mistakes.

Hang in there, you will get it and be moving on in just 4 more weeks.

Yeah I hate this already.

and I'm throwing up as we speak....... just finished all the reading for week 2 don't even know if any of it was necessary for the assignment... (vomit)

AgentBeast, MSN, RN · May 22, 2013

Well I guess I don't hate this as much now as I did on Sunday. Now, after all week 1 assignments have been graded, I have an A in the course. I hate stressing out over this crap though. I guess I just need to stick to the directions for the assignments and the rubrics.

ShantheRN, BSN, RN · May 23, 2013

I still don't like it. Admittedly I could've gotten all the points on that ridiculous self test but I was too annoyed to scour the website for all possible answers. I found the grammar test a bit insulting but meh. The personal statement paper had a point at least. I'm either having formatting issues (I'm on a Mac and saving in Pages as a Word document) or my TA can't read because all but one of her comments don't make sense. I'm too tired to figure it out right now. Grrr.

I have an 86, and frankly I'm totally okay with that lol

This individual analysis paper sucks.

ShantheRN, BSN, RN · May 27, 2013

It certainly did. Ugh. But.....at least it's pertinent to nursing practice. I can stomach tedious assignments if they're relevant.

Im taking 3 classes. Im nuts. Ill never do that again! I love nutrition and stats classes, nursing is annoying. To hell with APA format. lol! I have to admit, I am learning a lot. Stats is hard but I could Ace it if I were only taking one class. Right now I have an 85. Im a little worried but Im just gonna keep on keepin on!! Nutrition is super easy BTW. I have maintained 100 percent so far. Nursing I had a 90 until this past weekend. Ill know have she grades my assignments. I dont think I did so great on my discussion board or Individual analysis. I was pressed for time. Ill check back later. Good luck to you all!!!!
