Requires follow-up is something the client says or does that requires you to reteach or reinforce, a negative or incorrect statement from the patient.

SATA means "Select All That Apply"

Well that just gave the confidence I needed. I too have taken the nclex 4 times, took the 4th one yesterday, tried the "trick" and apparently I failed according to that. I'm at the point where I just want to quit, but if you can still continue and test again, that shows determination, maybe some advice would be helpful becaue I feel like a total loser. I had to look my daughter in the face and tell her that we couldn't buy a toy she wanted b/c mom is still not working. Then I began to cry. This totally bites. I'll get my real results tomorrow. Hope the "trick" is wrong. I don't know if I can continue doing this. Emotionally and financially.

There is one check off to do in the lab setting between levels I and II, when u get to clinicals, your preceptors usually walk u through anything you are new to. We do get CD/DVD's that come with some books that show how to perform certain things, but nothing is what it seems until you actually do it on a person. Even inserting a foley, which u do as a check off in the lab, is completely different on a real person. Your hands on comes to play during your clinical hours.

forgot to address the HESI question. Yes, there are HESI's there is a HESI for pediatrics, ob, m/s I and II (combined), research, and community. I don't think you have to score a certain number its just for your information to know what you need to study up on more. Then there is the exit HESI which you do have to pass with an 850 it's cummulative to all the other HESI's there are many study aides for these tests which will be very similar to the NCLEX.

You have to remember that these teachers have to grade in class students' assignments as well, and because they have the class at the end of the semester, it sometimes takes a while to get to the eline people because our classes don't have a deadline. I can say, though, that there are some very good teachers out there who are quick with their response time. And if you don't get a grade then you can call them, most of them will give you their cell phone numbers for you to call at any time. 2 yrs with no kids and no job is completely do able. Remember there are no deadlines so you have to set goals for yourself in order to keep yourself on track. Set a schedule and stick to it. hopes this helps

I am not going to lie, there are some professors who are more involved and interact more with us than others, as with any other college. You will find that some are extremely strict and want excessive information, while others let you get by with the minimal requirement. The strict ones are the best because they want to make sure you know your stuff. I wouldn't let the professors input persuade you from attending. As you enter the program you will find a discussion board and there are regulars who are more advanced in the program and love to share their wisdom with everyone else. I wouldn't have gotten as far without their help. So don't worry about lack of encouragement. I would recommend this program for those who have families or jobs and can't make a face to face campus. I love/hate the program, who doesn't? It is extremely difficult and time consuming, I don't think anyone has completed the program in less than 2 years. But you can't beat being able to spend time with your family, work, and obtain a degree all at the same time. This program is one of the few online programs, but has a very high success rate and I want to say above 90% pass the NCLEX the first time around, so judge for yourself of how good a program this is.

Moncj66, Ok, i'm not sure where u are from, but many of past e-liners have already set up contracts with hospitals in there surrounding areas. I'm not sure exactly where these hospitals are at, but I believe some are in the dallas area, austin area, houston area...if you already accepted in the program you can ask your advisor for hospitals in your area that already have contracts. If no contract has been made for the hospital you plan on doing your clinicals, then you can start the process yourself. I suggest you start the progress ASAP because it can take awhile to get all the legal stuff out of the way. As for the skills needed, there is a one time check off of basic skills and that includes inserting a foley. The real thing is a little different than the simulation. This check off is after your first level and you are allowed to use the on campus lab if needed. However, I have learned that many of the skills needed you will learn when you do clinicals. My preceptors have been OUTSTANDING and are always willing to help and explain things. IV's is something I've been having trouble with...my preceptors have been of great help and have explained that IV's are something that you get better at with time. Hope this helps...keep the questions coming...oh, and also once you get in the program there are many of us that chat on a daily basis and constantly ask questions. You won't fell alone, cause there are so many of us in the same boat. There is always someone who can help. We depend alot on each other and each other's comments and wisdom. I don't regret the program one bit. ~Erica

I believe there are...when u get access into WebCT go to the eline discussion board and post something there...you will get replies of all who are in your area.

I believe they do. You need to apply and have the minimum requirements (3.0 gpa, core classes completed, immunizations up to date...there's more just can't think of them right now). Call TAMUCC College of Nursing and ask to speak with **** *******, she is the advisor for the e-line program and she will give you more information regarding the program and what you need to get in. Hope this helps, let me know how it goes. ~Erica

Hi, Verano05, Ok, I am a current eliner. I started in the fall of 2007 I am now in level III. There are 4 levels. The first level is more book work and assignments and takes a long time to complete ( i believe the avg. time to complete the first level is about 1 yr) The other levels are more clinicals and go by a bit faster. As for having a family and a job and a life outside of school, it can be done. I have a 3 yr old, and a husband and a part time job. Self-motivation is a huge part of this program because there are no "deadlines" for anything, everything is self-paced. The great thing about this program is that you can work around your life to meet the demands of school. Don't get disappointed when you don't finish things as fast as you had anticipated. That happened to me many times before, but you can't beat stilll having a life and obtaining a BSN concurrently. Also clinicals are set up for you to complete at your own pace (ex. if you can only do 1 day a wk, or if you can do 3 days a wk) it is all up to you. So congratulations on your acceptance and hope to see you in chat soon. -Erica Coleman
