I took the OCN in July of last year and passed. While I did not think it was crazy difficult, it was one of those tests where I had no idea how I did until I hit the "submit" button and it said passed. I took the all day review course offered by the ...

Thank you! I have only taken Professional Nursing A&B and am now halfway through Holistic Care of Older Adult. I was planning on saving Research until the very end just because of the horror stories I have heard about people getting stuck with aw...

Sorry to but in, but is the rumor true, research no longer requires any group work?

I just took my OCN exam in July and passed! Yay! I went to an all day review class a few weeks before and that helped me a lot. Then I studied the free material and videos on noep.org which re-inforce that material. I also purchased the Oncology Nur...

You can search the threads on here for some of the answers from students whom have taken Gen Ed classes through UTA. The consensus is pretty much to avoid the History classes and Math classes as they are insanely time consuming and difficult. I neede...

I see that all the time unfortunately and we don't have wound care nurses as my clinic is not in a hospital setting. What our rad oncs recommend is keeping the area as clean as possible, they are big users of Domeboro soaks, Silvadene to help fight i...

Congrats everyone! I graduated ACC in December 2012 and I remember all of this excitement! ACC has an EXCELLENT program and their students are highly respected.

I am going through the online RN-BSN program at UT Arlington. 99% of the nursing classes are 5 weeks long, so you can work as fast or slow as you want. The first class, which is the one I just finished, is 10 weeks long and it was pretty easy. Like s...

Welcome to oncology! I am in outpatient oncology also but in the radiation side of it. Every new specialty takes time to gain confidence. My outlook is that as nurses, we never stop learning and we will learn new things everyday. Helpful tip which h...

Clinicals aren't required because you are already an RN. I believe the Capstone course, the last course of the program, you may need to shadow a nurse manager, but that it all.

No actual lectures, just short videos for each week and honestly the videos were enough of a recap of important material so you could successfully do the quizzes and/or discussion board for that particular week. If you click under "resources" there s...

I just finished that course. I was used to the online format since I chose as many online courses as I could through nursing pre-reqs. I don't enjoy sitting in a class and having teachers read power points to me. With that in mind, as tech savy as I ...

You can look on the website and they are divided up by alphabet of the student's last name

Nobody ever called me, I took a shot and looked up my advisor and sent her an email. She responded within a couple days and then asked me to send the very detailed information about the classes they overlooked and everything was fixed within a week.

The provisional acceptance is immediate after they verify your RN license, I applied at the beginning of May and received provisional acceptance within a couple days and was told I could go ahead and register for Technical Writing and Professional A&...

Question for anyone, I applied at the beginning of May, had someone from UTA actually call me while I was still in the process of filling out the application. Told her I was interested in possibly starting for the 6/30/14 classes and she said that mi...

I am starting it also along with Technical Writing!!

Hi! Don't know if it's too late and you already had your phone interview but just in case here are some helpful tips on questions you can ask : 1) How many linear accelerators (radiation machines) are in your clinic? 2) On average, how many daily p...

That totally seems excessive. I'm sorry you are dealing with that.

Yeah that does sound weird. I work in an outpatient radiation clinic and I prep the charts to make sure everything is in there for the docs. Then I read the referring doctors dictations so I can get a basic overview of why the patient is coming to se...

Oncology! Specifically, outpatient radiation oncology. One other RN and me managing about 65 daily radiation patients with two full-time radiation oncologists. In addition to that, new patient consults, education, follow-ups, and special radiation pr...

I had heard that too and took mine on a Tuesday and by the very following Thursday less than 48 hours later it was updated. So maybe for you, as soon as Tuesday. You'll definitely have the quick results before then though.

Yes those Kaplan scores are good! I did Hurst and Kaplan. I took my exam 1/29 and shut off at 75 questions and passed! Honestly, the Kaplan tests and questions are WAY more difficult than the NCLEX. And no, you will never feel prepared enough. I'm no...

I took mine on 1/29 and did the same. I don't remember the exact number of SATA, I was too nervous to count, but I know it was at least in the 20's, a few drag and drop, a couple pictures, only one med calculation. I would be so happy to see a SATA q...

I never fully understood that whole decision tree thing. When it came down to the actual NCLEX I never once tried to use it. There were not any questions on there where I absoutely had no clue about the answers and felt like I needed to use it.
