I'm not sure if you're currently enrolled as an LVN in an RN program and are thinking of continuing on with the RN-BSN at UTA? Or if you're already an RN with LVN experience who hopes that the LVN experience could be used in lieu of an elective? Ke...

Yes, but you'll need to take two nursing courses at a time (at one point I took two nursing courses and an elective for a total of three). To save time, you'll also probably want to use a national nursing certification in place of an elective (which...

Taking Medical Terminology with Prof. Nursing A/B is very doable. There are 3 or 4 (can't remember) 50 question multiple choice tests that comprise your grade. No other assignments besides the tests. The tests basically cover medical definitions.

This is what they say, but I was able to enroll anyway and nothing ever happened to me. Not endorsing this...just saying I did it without a problem (enrolled in other nursing classes).

I took Professional Nursing A&B along with Medical Terminology (elective) and Older Adults. Made A's in all of them and didn't stress either. Totally doable.

Sometimes, if UTA doesn't have an exact equivalent of your course at their instutition, they will simply transfer the course as something generic like "biology transfer," but you will still get credit if your academic advisor approves that course as ...

Discussions (one each week for 6 points (6 pts * 5 weeks = 30% of your grade)) - the discussions are typically very straight forward and minimally time consuming like the other courses in the program. Journal entries (3 points each for 4 weeks = 12% ...

Having finished this program, the references to state laws primary deal with things that are either common sense or exist in various forms in other states. Things typically discussed include: -Safe Harbor: you have the right to protect your license ...

As a Texan, I can attest to the fact that we are a little full of ourselves... hence why our government mandated this lovely course that doesn't apply to out of state students.

This flyer: http://www.uta.edu/nursing/files/RNonlineflyer.pdf Gives you a course-by-course breakdown of exactly what you need to complete, including the two electives required, in order to graduate. College algebra can be taken at a local community ...

amyrnfa is correct, you will need something that has the full functionality of a computer. A netbook or ultrabook might prove to be more portable than a traditional laptop. An example of a netbook would be the Acer Aspire One. They are miniature la...

They had no problem accepting PCCN. Keep in mind that PCCN is a relatively new certification, however, it is on the list of approved certs (and the academic advisors aren't nurses, so I don't know why they would say anything about not recognizing it...

Here's the Syllabus for Professional Nursing A/B. N3645_Syllabus_AP.FALL.11.pdf

If Tech Writing is full, see if you can't take speech, philosophy, or an additional literature course instead. Your advisor will let you know if any of these courses are available that qualify as a substitute for tech writing.

LGJMan, Clewi102 is correct, Tech Writing (or equivalent) can be taken concurrently with Professional Nursing A/B. You may have to get your academic advisor to manually register you for this if the online system is prohibiting it. Sometimes the sy...

I work full time, but I'm not a new grad or in any residency/internship program. I have been an RN for a few years. This is my experience: I finished absolutely ALL prerequisite courses ONLINE at a community college, which I would recommend unless ...

For most of the classes, discussion board postings were due on Wednesdays, and assignments (more involved than the discussions) had to be posted by Saturday. Some classes will have discussions due on Thursdays and assignments due on Mondays. But..i...

Hi guys, I just started this course (nursing research) this week, and I am already feeling a little intimidated. Can anyone who has taken this course provide any feedback or tips for success?

Hello everyone, I am starting NURS 4455 "Nursing Leadership and Management" on Monday, and I am writing to ask if anyone that has already taken the course can offer any feedback to ensure success. I appreciate any feedback offered.

I am currently enrolled in Health Assessment. The quizzes are extremely easy (I went ahead and took all 5 of them to get them over with, even though we're on week 2). The only difficult part seems that the subjective/objective data weekly assignmen...

UTSW has a few ambulatory nursing positions and even though they ask for experience, I know that they will hire someone without. It is not hospital nursing (very much like a doctor's office), but it will at least get your "foot in the door" so to sp...

The best example that I can give is that sometimes, when we are short on CNAs and we have an available RN, the RN will have to work as a CNA. The thing is, even though you are working as a CNA, RNs are always held to a higher level of accountability...

Any medication not given should have the pre-printed administration time circled in ink. If the nurse from the next shift administers the medication, he or she will write the time, draw a line, and sign their initials next to the time the medication...

Just because you are pulling the medication and it's not on the profile doesn't mean there isn't an ORDER for the drug. It just means that the pharmacy hasn't yet put the medication on the patient's profile. The problem with this is that the pharma...

I am currently attempting to get into Houston Community College's ADN program. I have taken EVERY academic and prerequisite course attaining an A. My GPA is, and should remain, a 4.0. I am currently taking Pharmacology and should (unless something ex...
