  1. New to LTAC

    Once you start orientation, you will know what things you need to review. I doubt you will have your own patients for the first 2 weeks. You will also probably have to complete many classes over policy and procedure that will give you a good review o...
  2. NURS 4585 - Capstone (starting 9/23/13)

    I just submitted my last assignment for this program!!! It felt like it was taking me forever to finish this program, but now that I am done it doesn't seem like it was that long at all. I started 8/2012. I'm so glad I decided to do the program and g...
  3. NURS 4585 - Capstone (starting 9/23/13)

    I can't believe it either. I just have the paper to do. I am half way done with it. It is hard to keep it under four pages.
  4. NURS 4585 - Capstone (starting 9/23/13)

    The PowerPoint presentation is what took me so long. The word document with the evaluation tools, etc. did not take me long at all. It was mostly a copy and paste assignment. I made the post test and the presentation evaluation myself, but it did not...
  5. NURS 4585 - Capstone (starting 9/23/13)

    I have only done one PowerPoint presentation before and it was in this program. I can't remember which class. I think that is why it is taking me so long. I just don't know how to make it look nice or how to use the program very well. So far I think ...
  6. NURS 4585 - Capstone (starting 9/23/13)

    This powerpoint presentation is taking me forever to finish. I think it is all the references I have for my articles and visuals that is taking my so long, and trying to make it look nice.
  7. NURS 4585 - Capstone (starting 9/23/13)

    I think we all have to work ahead. Week 4 assignment is basically due on Tuesday. I am going to start on week 4 assignment tomorrow. So far the only thing I don't like about this class is it feels rushed.
  8. Odourous wound

    What about Dakin's solution? I'm not a WC nurse, but I have had several patients with wounds that smelled so bad they were smelling up the whole hall way or even the whole unit. The WC nurse is usually able to stop the smell by using the Dakin's to c...
  9. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I know I thought it was weird that it is due on Wednesday. It is not like they have a lot of grading to do this week. It could be due on Friday. I wish I could get access to the quiz in Holistic Health today. If I could, I would be done with both cl...
  10. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I'm done with this class! A week early too. I thought I would be done with Holistic Health first, but I still have several things to do for that class. I'm not really liking Holistic Health, boring.
  11. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I just finished the assignment for week 4. Once I sat down to write the paper I realized that is was going to be much harder than I thought. I did not get good enough answers to all those questions with my agency interview. I rushed things cuz I felt...
  12. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I haven't gotten my grad for week 3, but I hope I don't get points off for not correcting things from week 1 and 2 cuz I didn't. The feedback I got was so vague I didn't know what I was missing, and no where did I read that we were suppose to correct...
  13. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I just saw that there is no discussion for week 4 and 5. Yeah!!
  14. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    "2) I overestimate fellow students - half the work the AC's see must be crap!" I think this is the answer. Have you read the discussion boards in some of these classes? They are rambling messes that are not even on topic. What about research, the st...
  15. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    Wow this is a much easier week. I have been working all day on this class and holistic health, and I am almost done with everything for this week. I had planned on having to spend tomorrow working on school work too, but I think I can either start ne...
  16. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I actually got a good grade. I was most surprised that there was no negative comments about my lack of data. I really thought I would get a lot of points off for not being thorough in my research. This weeks assignment seems much easier, although I h...
  17. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I turned my paper in late last night. It looked pretty good after I did the APA formatting. I thought about trying one more time to find more data, but I just couldn't look at the assignment anymore. I turned it in as is, and will be happy with a 70 ...
  18. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I think I am just going to have to be happy with a 70 on this assignment. I have not been this frustrated with an assignment since Research. I have worked on this thing all week, and I still think it is crap. I can't find all the detail I need, and t...
  19. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I found an example of how to cite a table in APA so here is the link APA :: Citing a Table I used all the links that are on the UTA nursing website and didn't find them helpful. The APA book I have explained how to do it, but there was not an example...
  20. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    The week 2 assignment is killing me. I really want to scream and throw my computer out the window. It is so much data to find and then I have to make a table/graph to go with it to make it make since. I was able to copy and paste one graph from a web...
  21. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I wish I had my grade already. As far as boundaries I gave the name of the town and zip code and stated that the specific area started at a middle school and extended 10 blocks out from all directions. I don't think it matters in this class if one ca...
  22. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    Mine was only 7 pages if I didn't count the week 2 assignment template pages at the end of the paper. My papers tend to be way shorter than anyone else's, but I almost always get an "A". I guess I am a less is more girl.
  23. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    Yes I do have a quiz tip! After I took the quiz I looked under the Reading/Weekly tips, and noticed that the "Consider these questions as you read" where pretty close to everything on the quiz. I'm going to use this to study before next weeks quiz.
  24. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    Me three! I did mine on a small, pleasant community. I also found that no public transportation was a problem. Finding all that data for next week's assignment is going to be time consuming, yuk. I did the quiz for this week. I thought it was prett...
  25. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    I just finished the assignment for this week and submitted it. I have to take the quiz and then Ill be done for this week, and then only four weeks left.
