I am currently an RN working as a Foster Care Nurse, which requires that I have my BSN and PHN certification. I had been under the impression that completion of my BSN would qualify me to apply for the PHN component with California's BRN, but this is...
These will be my first classes at UTA and of course I'm starting to freak out. I've read through many posts that say these courses are easy and others that say they are difficult. It's been so long since I've written and been in school that I am just...

I am taking Prof Nrsg and Technical Writing right now, have a 3 year old and work part time. I find it time consuming and I feel guilty for the time it takes away from my son. I think technical writing is more difficult, maybe because its tedious and...

I just started Prof Nursing and Technical Writing 6/30, but I'd still like to consider myself part of the Fall 2014 group :) I can't seem to locate the facebook page though...
Well I must say that I think I could've wasted less time finding articles- I don't know why this was such a pain, but I seemed to have lots of problems with EBSCO loading, but the librarians are so helpful so far. I'm also having a problem with putti...
Thank you for the info! My problem is that I always feel the need to have to do every reading and video suggested and it is just so tedious and time consuming. I'm on the last APA module right now and after taking the orientation quiz I wish I wouldn...
We can use this thread as a support system if need be. I'm going to try to take the orientation quiz today if I can, and try to get most of the week 1 work done tomorrow since I brilliantly decided to start school the week of 4th of July :)

I'm also starting both of those courses June 30th. I've always loved being a student, but this will be my first time being a mom as well as a student and that makes me nervous...
I live in CA. I'm going to get my BSN with UTA and apply for the PHN and if the CA BRN denies it, then I will have to take a semester at a University in CA to obtain the PHN most likely.

I'm starting April 7th with Technical Writing and Professional Nursing as well. I've been trying to plan ahead and map out which class I will take next, but I can't seem to find which classes will be offered on the June 30th start date. Have you foun...
Hi Everyone, On top of the Nursing classes I need History 1312, Math 1302(College Algebra), Literature, ENGL 2338(Technical writing) and Texas government, as well as 2 upper division electives. I did take Medical terminology at a community college, b...
I obtain all of the medical records on the foster children I track and advocate for, but not direct patient care. I'm guessing that wouldn't work? I'll have to figure that one out.... Thank you for the information, I appreciate it.
I had emailed UTA asking if their RN to BSN had a public health component and they replied that it did not. That being said, the instructions on the CSUDH website say to apply to the CA board of registered nursing and submit my transcripts and they w...

I know this posting is a couple years old, but were you able to obtain your PHN certificate in California? I am looking into getting my BSN through UTA, but I will still need my PHN in California for my job requirements. I am hoping that I can comple...
I just got a new job as a foster care public health nurse in a very rural area and I am very excited about the opportunity, yet nervous since I have only worked in med-surg. Any advice/tips would be much appreciated. I have researched the job extensi...
I am considering UT-A for my RN-BSN and any information is much appreciated! My main concern is about the clinical component, since I live in a rural area and work in public health with the foster care unit. Thank you!
I'm researching and considering UT-A for my RN-BSN, along with many other schools. Any information is much appreciated. I am currently leaning more toward UT-A. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, I am considering UT-A for the RN-BSN online program and I'm wondering how it is going for all of you? Any info is much appreciated, thank you!
Hi, I am looking into Fort Hays RN-BSN online program and any input is much appreciated. I live in California, but my understanding is that it is all online for the BSN. I will be working and have a toddler, so I want a program that is doable but tha...
Wow, what an amazing story you have! My understanding is that I will be mainly a resource referral and keep track of all of the foster children's immunization records and any other medical information that needs to carry with them throughout their v...
How did you like the Regis University RN-BSN program? That is one of the schools I am currently researchig. I will be working part-time and have a toddler, but I am a good student and like a challenge as well. Any input is much appreciated.
The video is on the OU website under college of nursing: RN to BSN Introduction | College of Nursing. I really hope it hasn't changed, because what you described was my understanding of the program until I watched this video. If you don't mind me ask...
