  1. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Also in assessment next! Luckily I passed the FEMA certification and got my certificate today! Didn't realize we have a week break! Plus I'm taking assessment by itself instead of doubling or...

  2. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Was up until 1am doing the FEMA certification last night. At least it's good for some CEU's! It didn't dawn on me that I could potentially fail it...and not know until Wednesday or so...so lets hope...

  3. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Is it horrible that I have somehow rationalized that my grade thus far is good enough to slack off this week? Especially knowing that next week will an easy grade so long as I pass the FEMA

    I also applied as a career-changer. This was by far the cheapest program and I liked how it was regionally and nationally accredited. Most of my courses from my bachelor program were accepted but I...

  6. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I would totally understand that too. But right now, nothing. This weeks quiz was by far the easiest so far, especially if you read the review. I skimmed the questions (stupid!!) because I'm exhausted...

  7. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Good suggestion. The 0% on an assignment with no comments or feedback whatsoever, especially when the assignment was done (and done very well, if I may add!) makes me especially angry. How does this...

  8. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    So, just a vent. I know some of you are also in Holistic Care of the Older Adult...my AC is taking like 2.5 weeks to grade everything! Is it me or is that ridiculous?! Things that I submitted almost...

  9. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I thought they sent something out saying we don't need to make prior corrections? I haven't checked my grade yet but I hope my nursing dx are okay...she didn't ding me for them in the week 2...

  10. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I think some students argued quiz questions which is why some grades went up...my AC sent an email about

  11. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Um, so I got a 97 on my week 2 assignment?! Maybe hell froze over too because I literally can't believe it - granted, I did have 31 pages of material so obviously work was put into it BUT, my nursing...

  12. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Excellent suggestion! As for the grade for week 2...I wish I took the 5pt hit and sent my assignment in late. In my quest to meet the deadline I totally nixed any APA formatting whatsoever aside from...

  13. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    SATAs are awful! This weeks quiz had entirely too many of them! I wish they offered partial credit for them like they do in care of the older

  14. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    To add insult to injury coming off of the horrible vulnerable assignment, I got a 77% on my holistic care of the older adult quiz. Ugh. I have totally hit a wall this week. Between working 60-70 hours...

  15. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Ugh! That's the most frustrating thing EVER! I saved like a madwoman because that's been happening to my DB posts quite a bit. I read it on the syllabus! I wish I had read it earlier and it submitted...

  16. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    HA! Me too! I wish I waited and did it tomorrow to get my APA worked out (::see rant above::) as it is only a 5pt

  17. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Well, I submitted it with three (3!!!) minutes to spare, complete with a computer issue at the very last second as I am on my husbands laptop versus mine. Well, that was awful. I worked on that...

  18. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I am on page 31 (57total) and just finished. My nursing dx info is crap. I looked ahead to next week and it seems as if our statistical data doesn't matter so much as does our ability to put together...

  19. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I just realized that my post from 2am last night didn't make much sense! I chose alcohol consumption and lack of bicycle helmet use as my issues with my community as it is a college-area located...

  20. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    So, I'm not at hour 15 or so and am just getting to the analysis/synthesis portion. It's all going to be absolute, utter, B.S. Ugh. Can't wait for this to be over! I will be able to work on it for two...

  21. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Yea, my paper begins to fall apart at the morbidity and mortality. I'm trying to find comparable data for zip, city, state and the nation and I can't. They all provide stats for totally diffident...

  22. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm having similar issues. For my identified health problems, the data is only supporting one issue and not the other. Plus, for both of them, I am missing data from some area, either the city or the...

  23. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I looked under the CDC stats and just recorded the info under "housing" that outlines the types of families and whether or not they have kids, for example: male only household, no wife present" and...

  24. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Oh sweet baby Jesus. I just looked at the 29 pages of directions for this assignment and feel so lost. I'm hoping that I can work on it for about 9 hours tomorrow night and then 6 hours on Saturday...

  25. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    MBrickle replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Thanks for the tip! What a great way to do it! I'm hoping to start tonight...any time estimates on how long this assignment will
