If I were a hospice patient, I would not want a nurse with no experience managing my complicated symptoms at the end of my life. I was once a new grad RN, with 7 years of hospice experience as an LVN previously, and I felt overwhelmed as a newly mint...

Punctuation, please!

No-you should take it! It's pretty easy if you can journal about your own insights. I have not keep a journal since I was 12 years old! I'm better at writing about facts over feelings. Just make sure you read the headings and include ALL the inform...

Don't give up. I felt that way even after almost 3 years as an ER nurse. I did eventually leave the ER to go back to my comfort zone-hospice and palliative care, but my time in ER made me a better nurse all around. Remember, if you are a high anxiety...

I also thought the program was great-the nursing coaches always responded quickly to my questions. Admission and advisors are another story, but once you are in the program you will only be contacting them about updated your degree progress plan and...

Legacy was not a difficult class for me. I have heard that Medical term. was extremely time consuming. I did not like co-op so much, easy but a lot of journaling that is graded hard.

You will not be in a group with Nursing Research, but it is the most difficult class. It is hard to get an A in the class, from what I can tell, but I did it by taking the class alone. And Vulnerable Pop. was indeed the most time consuming, but it wa...

agree with the post by Mrsboots87 Every nurse feels like a failure at three months. Every nurse feels panic after orientation is over. Shoot, I still woke up at night in a panic wondering if I did this right, or forgot to do something. Critical care...

I agree with this post! Every nurse feels like a failure at three months. Every nurse feels panic after orientation is over. Shoot, I still woke up at night in a panic wondering if I did this right, or forgot to do something. Critical care is not a...

I will try to remember! Research is the hardest class, content wise, I thought. On the surface it seems easy, but the "tests" they give are more difficult than they appear. You really need to read the book and view the weekly lecture hours to do we...

You cannot enroll in Capstone until the 2nd (or 3rd) week of you last class before it. One cleared, you can pick which ever class fits your schedule, as long as it is the right one.

Could not agree with you more. I hated co-op too. The journaling was awful!

Really? Oh gosh, I hope so! I have my plate full during Capstone. Were the papers based on some assignments, or your own project? ANY info you could give would greatly reduce my anxiety about starting this class!

I just finished co-op and kind of wished I had taken medical terminology. You have to be employed for at least 120 hours over the course, or you cannot take the class. I was in the process of transitioning to a new job and barely made the 120 hours...

This is a hard class-the first week seems easy and then.... My advice is: read the book, use every resource material they offer, pick a really good quantitative paper in the second week, because your big paper revolves around it, and listen to the o...

FYI-they did add a second course-I spoke with an advisor. Also, if you are enrolled in Capstone during the semester, you are guaranteed a spot in graduation. According to the advisors.

Arg! I did not even realize that. I think we should all write to the advising department and see if that might do something about this. I want to graduate asap!

Yes, we both took the Health assessment class that requires the new Capstone course. I am hoping they will add another course earlier in the year, but they probably won't!

Do you mean May 2016? I was sorry to see that is the only class available too. I am also curious as to what it entails, so I hope you get some responses!

- Me on Math! Yay for us!! The end is in sight!

Ha! I'll let you know next week about college algebra! This program has taken me almost three years, but that's because I could not take classes in the summer the entire time. Let me know if you have questions about either class.

Nursing Research and Capstone. And maybe college algebra again, lol. It's taken a long time because I did not double up on any of my nursing classes. I wanted an A. Now I can look back and see I probably should have. I don't get a gold star for g...

I am trying to graduate by May too! I lucked out in stats-I suck at math. I am barely passing College Algebra! Good luck with your classes. The grading in health assessment is tricky-read the instructions carefully!

Honestly, if you are not working or have other hard commitments, it is doable. You would have to work almost every day getting your assignments completed. Not hard, just time consuming. If you are doing anything else, I would think twice about it. ...

Oh! And I have two more classes to take next year, and I will be done!!!!! Yay for me!
