Olivia. I had a hard time with stats too and took it with a nursing course. We can do it. Just 8 weeks. I think the capstone will be easy... it's a great chance to "See a need fill a need".

Isn't the capstone one big project? I wasn't too worried about taking it with Econ next session but maybe I should be.

Yeah I guess in my mind I was happy to have the 4.0 as a cushion knowing I'm not good in math, but as I get closer to applying for a master's program it's a little disappointing to think I won't look as strong on paper. Ahh well! Econ in July.... I'll be getting all the help I can.

Wonder if you're in my class! I just ordered my book today. I couldn't get a feel as to whether it was truly needed or not. Three classes this session I'll be busy trying to hang in there. We can do it!!! Think October!

Well I just said goodbye to my 4.0 thanks to my brain rejecting the last half of the statistics class..... I was hoping I could do it.

My advice would be stick with one of the topics they offer for your final paper... otherwise you may get tangled up in trying to find good arguments and spending a lot more time than needed. Otherwise it was not a bad class.

Has any one applied for and or done a portfolio for Collab Health or Community Nsg?

Thanks Dawn, If you are looking for an article on the practice with good references it's on NANN this month. Colostrum and oral care in the NICU. I love the idea and want to start it in my NICU but am getting some hesitency from the docs. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the reply... can you tell me why your unit decided to start this practice? Was it received well from the Neo's and what do the parents and nurses think? Were there any concerns about doing this from the docs or nurses? Last question.... what region is your hospital?

Yes I know how you feel, the first semester I was taking a human lactation class during both sessions with 2 classes each. Next session I have three nursing classes and then econ and capstone. glad to know it can be done, although just a little nervous to try to keep up... I'm trying to propose a position at my hospital in the midst of this and study for my IBCLC exam and going on vacation. I guess I will be telling my son to get ready for easy dinners too! And the laundry forget it! HAHA... it's all worth it thoughto get this schoool thing over with!

That's great Christy. All you needed was a break. Well both be graduating in Oct!

Boonce1 that's great! Can't wait to get there. Although it feels far away! Did you ever take 3 classes at the same time? Good luck with FNP!

Hi Ann! First you have to find a school that is right for you. Whether you are looking for a cost factor, how many credits they will accept, the school ranking, future masters degree potential... Whatever it is that will drive you to a school. I chose a school and at the last minute changed my mind. You will ne er really know until you start the classes. I can tell you I chose Chamberlain because they didn't require me to retake any classes and have a good research based program which is must in nursing now. But, they definitely aren't the cheapest. They do give good support and their program is well formulated for the working adult nurse (so far). No matter where you choose to go just make sure it's accreditated for the future. And look until you can't look any more at every school you come across. Things have changed and online schooling is the norm now. Every school want you to do well. Good luck. It's a long journey and as for me I origionally thought I would be done at BSN but have recently found my niche and plan to continue on.

Hello all, I am looking for units that use colostrum or any breastmilk for oral care. I would like to start a PI project within my unit but would like feedback as to who else is doing this and how everythings is going.Thanks

Thanks Lunah! I hope to try to portfolio out of community or collab. Not that my resume is stellar or anything but I think I'll try. I wonder how many have been able to do that...
