  1. Mandated Nurse-Patient Ratios

    Hi everyone, I have not posted in a while but since I received my BSN I've been working on a very busy medical/surgical/oncology floor(Magnet hospital). It took quite a few months to get used to taking care of as many as 6 patients and sometimes mor...

    Hi there, physiology is basically the way the body works, pathophysiology is the study of how diseases work, like diabetes. To me they are two different things. I took anatomy & physiology in cc and I had to take pathophysiology this year at GC...

    Wow, that would be tough! We only had one announcement about missing assignments so hopefully everyone got it all done on time.

    I definitely agree with you, the literature reviews were the worst part and the fact that one can easily overthink it or complicate each part.

    Just finished it! It's a bit busier in the beginning but about the same amount of work as the other classes. If you know what your topic is going to be right away or before you start it will go faster.

    I don't think you all missed any posts, I didn't announce that I was finished with GCU and graduated in an individual post, I mentioned it by replying to someone else's post.

    Most of us here have taken many hours to write each assignment so I would say this is normal. However, you will get very proficient at it and you may get faster at writing papers. After a while it realized that the best way to write a thesis state...

    Most of the time the assignment guidelines will point you in the right direction and may sometimes offer choices. If you must choose, try to pick something you really want to know about because it makes it easier to write about. Each assignment is ...

    These were the interview questions 2 of us came up with; How do you feel about people who wish to die, refuse treatment or ask for assistance to die? Do the reasons they want to die make a difference to your opinion/feeling? (such as because of pa...

    I wanted to go work at the same hospital where my friend is but was holding off until the end of this program. I didn't want the stress of a new job and school. Free time will now go to relaxing, family time, cleaning house and planning a big vacat...

    No I don't remember, I read about it from someone posting here asking about a particular school, I was curious and looked the school up and it was not accredited. Apparently there are 2 entities that provide accreditation: https://www.discovernursi...

    Pink, if you want to do this then you should do it. Let no one stand in you way unless it's family needs, financial hardship or something like that. Many times people are negative because they are jealous or they feel threatened that somebody wants...

    I Agree with you, we each interpret in our own special way. It's really interesting!

    Hi Noodles, I went back and looked at my paper from last year. The teacher was very nice and told me I should have used headings and here is and what she said. Your paper should have an introduction paragraph with the intent (thesis) Such as Heal...

    You should call them, give them your information or transcripts from your past Nursing program and they will tell you how many classes you need to complete their program. For me it came out to 12 core nursing classes (that includes their statistics ...

    Hi there, I usually have access to the classroom on the Thursday before class begins, I guess that is today for you, or it may be tomorrow Friday. You can view everything and download the syllabus. I did a lot of google searching to find help and I...

    I think I'm going to get tired of repeating stuff but yeah she is super nice and she is constantly trying to calm people down and tell them that there is nothing that can't be fixed. She is really fast at grading which is so great for this course be...

    This Capstone Project is a LOT OF WORK! I am cranky today and don't feel like doing it. Got through the 1st week with A's now onto the 2nd week and I feel like I'm repeating stuff with this Literature Review which seems the same as the Selecting So...
