6 weeks and DONE!!! (As long as I pass Algebra too!!)

Grade is on my transcript today...

I would have to say that they are fairly expensive courses, and often provided by your employer. I also agree that if it is not something you use on a regular basis, it is easy to forget it all! I worked on a telemetry unit for 2.5 years, and a few...

So I'm thinking that it might be appropriate in CA, then...but it's still not legal in NY...it just struck me as really funny/stupid...and to the poster who commented about the car belonging to the person who interviewed me...it wouldn't matter, as t...

My last contact with Professor ****** was on 9/13, when she emailed me back and stated that she would "consider my request and discuss it with the other professors." Prior to that, I have exchanged a couple of emails with her, indicating that I feel...

So I was parking in the lot at a facility where I was interviewing...parked next to a car with the plate that read "420 RN" The "RN" was the special plate designation. Seriously?!?!?!? Even if it was by accident, I'd have had to send them back!!

I'm in the 9/23 start for this class too...as well as Leadership and Mgmt...

I live in NY and will be done with UTA RN-BSN in December (3 nursing classes left), and there have been no actual clinicals to date. I have also heard that there is some shadowing necessary for the Leadership and Mgmt class, but I won't know for sur...

I'm guessing that you have limited experience at this point, based on your initial post, so my answer was geared towards the thought that med-surg experience is absolutely INVALUABLE at the beginning of your career. To be offered a position in a mag...

As a former LPN who is now an RN working towards her BSN, I can say that it can be a lot of work. Many of my classmates spend a much greater amount of time than I do working on classwork. I think that a lot of it depends on you and your personal si...

I think that it all depends on the standards of the BON in the state where you apply for a license. One thing that I can say for sure is that a friend of mine just got her RN, after a h/o DWI several years back. One of the things that her professor...

I have a beautiful gold ring from my first BA...and I did wear it for a couple of years. I am actually pretty sure that I can send it back to Jostens to get it changed to a BSN, but honestly, I have not worn the ring in several years now, and I have...

I really wish I had seen this thread about a year ago!!! I would have LOVED to take patho and pharm, instead of the BS electives I took!

I think that if you were comfortable doubling and tripling during the rest of the courses, know that it won't be a walk in the park, but that it is possible, IF you have a lot of time on your hands for paper writing. I am taking Leadership and Healt...

So, like to OP, I chose nursing as a second career, as well. I became an LPN at the age of 31, and completed my RN two years ago. As an LPN, I worked on a telemetry floor for a few years as my first position in nursing. After that, I left the hosp...

Honestly, I have always gotten the flu shot as an adult, especially after having kids. As a nurse, I feel like it's kind of important, even in the chance of contracting and transmitting the flu to those I love. I have only had the flu once in that...

Answered the survey for you! Good luck in your classes :)

@ Meriwhen, So I do get what you are saying, but in my case the difference between an 89.63 and a 90 overall was 2 points for this assignment. I truly hope it does not affect anyone else's final grade, but that was the reason that I said something in...

That's just it...this is ridiculous!!!

Meriwhen, I agree. My point in posting all of this is that if the issue was as widespread as the coach's email to the class indicates, AND she was even unclear enough to improperly grade the papers in the first place, how clear was it to begin with...

ldawn79, I am merely letting everyone know what has transpired, as I believe it to be very wrong. And now it's affecting the entire class, or at least my coach's group?!?!? The courses are (by far) the worst college experience I have ever had. I ...

Hi all, I am also in this class, and I just noticed that there are discussion blogs about each class. I am writing tonight about some emails that were exchanged yesterday and today between myself and my coach. My initial inquiry was about the reas...
