Do you get example assessment on your section? Do you mind sharing with me ([email protected])? My TA did not post a single word for this week so far. And, I have not redeived any score for my last week's work, but it is already Thurday. Frustrating.....

I agree. This course is the worst (I usually try not to complain). Theinstructions for "PURPOSE, GOALS, and LEARNING OBJECTIVES" is notmeaningful at all. What do we suppose to write? How much should we write? .....So frustrated! Any comments and suggestions are truly appreciated.

SShannon81, thanks a lot! These information are very helpful. I am in RN-BSN program, but not through academic outreach program. Thank god I would still be able to enroll.Thanks again, SShannon81.

I plan to take a Junior Comp class during spring semester. Can you please provide some suggestions and comments? What classes meet the requirement? Which professor do you recommend? Where to find the course # and enroll? Thanks in advance!

My section doesn't require the meta-analysis either, per TA's announcement today.

rninme & [COLOR=#003366]Inimica18, thanks for your kind input. I probably will have to only do one class. Don't want to stress myself out... Thanks again!

I am planning to register courses for next session. If I would like to double up 4540 (community nursing) and 4580 (leadership), is that doable? What is the workload for each of them? What is the test style for each: DB, quiz, or paper? Any suggestions and comments are truly appreciated.

I truly appreciate all your kind reply. They are verey very helpful information for my paper :)

nhnursie, thanks a lot for your reply. Very helpful...

ohiomom, I received it. I appreciated your kind help :)

Hello, I am doing a survey about RN's opinion on "lifelong learning in nursing" for a project of BSN program. I would truly appreciate if you would like to share your opinion about the following questions. 1. Are nursing professionals lifelong learners? 2. Are you a lifelong learner? 3. Is lifelong learning part of a nursing profession? 4. How does the scope of practice, ethics, and values play a role in lifelong learning in nursing? 5. Whose responsibility is lifelong learning in nursing? 6. What does lifelong learning do for your self-esteem, your knowledge-base, your quality of care, and your patient's safety? Thanks in advance :)

ohiomom, do you mind sharing the week 2 study guide with me? My TA didn't post study guide for us. Thanks in advance. My e-mail: [email protected]

Does anyone have a study guide from your TA for week #2? If so, do you mind sharing with me? Can you please send to my e-mail [email protected] Thanks a lot :)

I am New Grad RN starting orientation at the end of August on a Med-Surg floor, but just found out that I am pregnant. On one side, I am excited since the pregnancy is a long waiting outcome, plus I am not in a very young age. On the other side, I am worried if I can handle the new RN position along with the pregnancy. I know the floor I will be working is very tough in terms of the pt population, often including very complicated pt, psych pt, pt with infectious disease, very heavy pt, etc. In addition, my only opition for the shift is Day/Night shift (2 weeks day shift + 2 weeks night shift). I don't have the plan to give up the position at this point b/c the RN job market in my area is very competitive. Arhhh, very frustrating situation. Any suggestions, comments and input are welcomed and appreciated.

Congratulations! Do you mind sending me the materials? I will be taking mine in June. My e-mail: [email protected] Thanks.

hi diana, congratulations to you. :) im inspired with your story. i will be taking my nclex in july and just started the study, your post is very very helpful. can you please send me your notes too? my email's [email protected]. tthank you so much, you are a blessing :)

I am in my early 40s with couple of years' RN experience in a Med-Surg/Tele floor. Before changing career to nursing (2 years ago), I had been working in research laboratory for almost 10 years with a MS major in Microbiology and Immunology. I have passion with critical care. I am also inspired to do CRNA. However, I am at my early 40s now. I just wonder whether it's too old (maybe 45) to start to be a CRNA, if I do the application and ICU experience and CRNA program within the next 5 years. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Can you please send me a copy of this worksheet as well? I am a new grad and will be working in a med-surg floor soon. Thanks a lot :) My e-mail: [email protected]

I wonder when do you start to look for job and send your applications? I am graduating by May, should I start to look into job opportunities from now on and send out my applications? Or, should I wait until pass the NCLEX? Any input is truly appreciated.

Classicdame, thanks a lot for your suggestion. Yes, you might be right. I guess I will talk to her after her maternity leave...

Thanks for your suggestion, XB9S. I was thinking about direct talking to her when she is back. That might be a better idea.

my background: i had a externship with a med-surg/tele floor last summer, then have been working as a nurse assistant ii prn. i will be graduating this may and hope to have a rn position on this same floor. my nurase manager is on maternity leave now. i am planning to sent an e-mail to her now to express my wish. advice needed on: 1) which way is better: send her e-mail now vs driectly talk to her when she is back at tthe end of feburary? 2) please help me edit on the e-mail as following. (english is my second lanuguage, i worried about my writing). 3) other advice? i would truly appreciate your suggestions and comments. dear xxx (first name) or dear ms (last name) ...... (which one should i use?) i sincerely wish this e-mail find you and baby is doing well. as you may know, i will be graduating from my nursing program at early may. i anticipate taking my nclex exam at june or july, depending on how fast my school sends out the paperwork to oh board of nursing. as graduation date gradually approaching, i am starting to look into rn job opportunities. apparently, xxx (floor name) will be my dream workplace if there is a position opening. i had a great externship experience last summer, and i am very happy to work here since then. i have learned a lot from everyone on the floor. now, i feel like i am much more mature, experienced and confident with all aspects of nursing, including nursing practice, interpersonal communication, critical thinking, and time-management skills, etc. i sincerely appreciate that you have provided me with this great chance to empower my nursing career. i would like to say:'' xxx (floor name) is a great place to work at..." i truly appreciate if you would consider my request for a position. i believe my experience, skills and compassion prepare me very well for the challenges of a rn position. i am ready to contribute more to the floor... i am looking forward to further talking to you when you are back. wish you and your family the best j sincerely xxxxx
