I honestly have no idea. Definitely ask your enrollment advisor, though.

I had a good experience. Some of the gen ed's were a pain, mainly History. It wasn't a difficult class but it was poorly organized. I enjoyed how short the courses were, particularly the nursing courses. By the time I got sick of a class, it was over. Ha.

I'm by no means ready to apply, even though I finished the RN-BSN program in May of this year. I just have a few questions regarding the MSN in Nursing Education at UTA. How does preceptorship work? Is the courseload similar to the RN-BSN program? Thank goodness there aren't a bunch of general ed courses. Are the courses difficult? Is it doable while working full time? Can classes be doubled to complete the degree faster? How do you like the program? Would you recommend it?

I love home health. I love the autonomy, flexibility, the relationships I develop with my patients, how much I have learned about wound care, being able to provide quality education on disease processes and medications. I am a loner by nature so being able to decompress in my car between patients is valuable to me. I love being able to critically think on the fly and come up with some truly creative ideas to problems I run into out in the field. I love being able to advocate for my patients. I love that I truly feel like I am helping my patients on a daily basis. It's not always flowers and unicorns, but the majority of the time I love what I do. I feel passionate about what I do.

I'm just curious. I live and work in a pretty rural area and my daily mileage varies from 35 (a really good day) to 150 (not such a good day). Thankfully, my agency compensates at the federal rate for mileage. I feel bad for my poor new-ish car. lol

Not yet. Super annoying!

Take history and math elsewhere.

I did not take Legacy but I have heard that it is brutal on course load.

I have two young kids and my home health work schedule is similar to what you have described. I love the flexibility. I can stop at the school between patients and bring my kids lunch, do parent teacher conferences, pick up a sick kid from school and drop off with the husband or a grandparent, go to a doctor appointment, etc. Plus, I start from home so I get to see my kids off to school and get home shortly after the youngest and around the same time as the oldest. I do my charting in between patients so I don't have charting to do in the evening. It has been great for our family. I do wish I didn't have to be on call, but it's pretty easy and I've only had to go out to do a visit while on call a couple of times.

I'm proofing mine tonight and turning it in. Sadly, I have a week of history left before I can celebrate. lol

I am so burned out, I am behind on reading again. lol We are so close, though! British Lit did have a couple of timed essays. However, the essays were easy and the time was very generous. British Lit was a bit more time consuming than I thought it would be, but I rather enjoyed it. I am partial to literature classes and would take them all if they would let me (and if I could afford it). I have heard American Lit is a little more manageable (and that you read A Thousand Splendid Suns, which is one of my favorite books, ever). Regarding the electives...are you working currently? If so, take Cooperative Work Experience. It was insanely easy. I have heard Legacy is brutal. Med Term was pretty awful. The material wasn't hard, but the timed tests were terrible. You get 30 minutes to answer 50 questions, can't go back to change answers, and the tests are only open for a 24 hour window. I hated that class. I would ask your advisor if you can take both work experience classes if you need two electives. I live in California but I am going to Texas for graduation next week. My aunt lives in Dallas so it will be a combined trip of visiting her and attending commencement. I have never participated in a commencement ceremony (graduated high school early through independent study because I was knocked up) so I am really excited about it. Also, I am the first on my mother's side of the family to obtain a degree higher than an associates. Only two people on my father's side have obtained a Bachelor's degree. I will be the third.

She did finally grade the paper. So annoying. British Lit was easy. Just some discussion boards and some essay style stuff. I took research when it was group work and it suckkkked. So time consuming. I know that it is individual now, but I have heard it is still time consuming. I pretty much have slept about 18 hours the last 4 days trying to catch up on everything. I wrote the Reaction 3 paper last night and it's a serious piece of work. lol I don't do well with the persona thing and pretending to be someone else. I can't wait to be finished!

I am being such a slacker! I'm behind on reading and still need to do stuff for Capstone. I am just so burned out. To top it off my coach hasn't graded my paper for the 2nd reaction that I turned in on freaking Friday. What the heck!?

I'm not sure as I took stats before it was proctored (thank goodness). You will have to take college algebra before stats, though. Just an FYI. You may want to look at a community college to complete stats.

Statistics is a prerequisite for Research at UTA. You must take it before you can enroll in Research.

I am flying down from CA to participate (and visit my aunt, she lives in Dallas).

Yes, stats definitely made me lose my mind. Horrible class. Art was mostly quizzes and essays. I don't even think there was a discussion board. lol

English 1302 was easy, in my opinion. If you can BS your way through an essay, you will be fine. I think taking it with Art 1301 would be fine, Art 1301 was a breeze.

I'm really going to have to pull this paper out of thin air. I spent all last week doing the readings and reflections so I have all week to write it, but capstone started last week so I will be dealing with that as well (which actually, the class seems to be quite easy so at least there is that). I finished the stupid 170 page book today. I don't remember any of it. lol The group discussion thing stresses me out, especially since I was leader last week so I can't do it again. I am a control freak and like things to be planned out and done on time. I took a ton of notes on the text book and lectures, but they probably won't even help because the tests are ridiculous. I have no choice but to continue with the class because I graduate in May (THANK GOODNESS). I easily spent 30+ hours on this class over the last 7 days. It's just not okay.

Holy cow there is a lot of reading this week. Something like 90 pages in the textbook and then that Seven Years' War book (the whole thing! Like 170 pages!). Is it just me or should he have told us two weeks ago that he wanted us to read the whole stupid book? I am so mad about this. I spent hours today just doing the reading for the first of the topics. This class has turned into a full time job. I can't wait for the survey at the end. lol

I was thinking the same thing! Not that I am complaining. The History 1311 course I am taking is sucking up a bunch of my time so I'm good with easy!!

Thank goodness for extra credit, right? lol

Did you take the test yet? I did. The study guide questions were completely worthless and I felt like I didn't know anything. I did okay, but not as well as I usually do.

Yes, we definitely cancel referrals for the same reason. I was referring to patient's already on service.

I already completed the equivalent of History 1312 prior to applying for the RN program way back when, thank goodness. I actually start Capstone next Monday, so I am nearly finished. I am so ready!
