This thread is for anyone taking Holistic health assessment on-line at UTA starting Jan 14th 2013. Hopefully we can get a good thread going in order to provide support for each other as we go. The more students who participate, the better it will be ...

Hey Chicago, Glad to hear you're almost at the end! It is a great feeling to come home from work and realize you don't have to take a quiz or write a discussion. I'll be around if you have any questions about this class. It's sort of a pain in the...

Hi RNsRWe, So, sounds like you will have 12 nursing classes to take at GCU. Compare that to UTA's 8 nursing classes plus Texas Gov and 2 nursing electives. So, that's 11 classes total. You're right, at a minimum, you would have to take Texas Gov as...

Hi RnsRWe, There is a Texas state law that requires anyone graduating from a school in Texas must take this class; so that's why. I agree that technically we aren't really attending school in Texas, so, to me, this mandate should have been waived, b...

Hi RnsRWe, The real story is: it depends. Everyone who responds here will tell you something different with regard to what transferred and what didn't. Here is what is true for all of us: Everyone must take: Prof Nurs A/B, Holistic Care of the Older...

Hi brookeycookie, I sent you a PM the other day regarding this assignment; I hope it helped you. The person who wrote the first post above mentioned you could make your presentation as long as you want as long as you meet your objectives, but this i...

Hi KRSLPN, Maybe I didn't make my note clear. It's not that we have to stand and chart; it's that we have to stand ALL THE TIME. Mgt took our chairs away from the hall where we have to use our computers on wheels and we aren't allowed in the nurses...

Wow. I can't believe I found this thread! I had no idea other hospitals in various states are doing this. Just assumed it was only mine. Last year, in an effort to keep us out of the nurses station where we would sit and use the computers to chart,...

Hi Krazylady, Congratulations to everyone also. In two hours from now, I will be drinking a glass of champagne and I will give a toast to everyone here on allnurses who helped me keep my sanity while going through some of the bad times. You know wh...

Thank you, Jadiva.:)

Hello everyone, I just finished Capstone so if anyone wants some clarification on anything when you take it, let me know. I'll continue to check in here for a while to see if I can be of any assistance to anyone. Scarletfire

People in my group were already posting their quotes for week #5 DB last week. Now, we have about 1/2 of the group has posting. It's funny b/c almost no one has bothered to follow the directions, either. One guy's quote was the preamble to the consti...

Hi Krazylady, I finished everything last week, but was delaying the submission until the due dates but 2 days ago, I figured, why wait? So, I submitted all 7 and now just waiting for grades. I have to clean my house, too, but will start that next w...

Amy, MaryAnn, Rosemary, GREAT job.

Hi ilovebees, I see your point about doing the journey paper first. I'm going to do a lot of copying and pasting from that leadership paper re: short term and long term goals. I don't know why we have to continually tell them our goals in like 3-4 ...

hi iLovebees, So, I see that as usual everything in this class is crystal clear. kidding. I've been through everything and still don't have a feel for the project except that it is in 3 parts and that there is an accompanying PP. This class might b...

Krazylady, Have no idea why they waited until so late to open things up. I also checked after MN, which would be early Mon morning and nothing. Whatever. I'm looking through everything now to get a feel for how life is going to be for the next 5 week...

Hi Krazylady, I can't open anything either. I've never had a course that didn't allow you to at least see the syllabus and the attestation form before the Monday start date. Plus, Blackboard looks really weird now, doesn't it? I don't like the new...

Hi Shantel1621, I know. For me, that was by far the worst part of my experience w/ Research. The other student and I were in constant contact with Drs. B and H and our AC by phone and e:mail after the first week when we saw that no one else was doi...

Great advice, but easier said than done. Everyone in my group (except one) ignored all deadlines and submitted things whenever they felt like it or not at all. During the last 2 weeks, I set strict deadlines via the DB and Dr. H. popped in on the DB...

Hi MBrickle, You have some very valuable info here that could be helpful to those just starting the program. This forum is for those of us who are starting Capstone next week so we don't really need to think about doubling and tripling up classes an...

Hello, I've been able to find syllabi for most UTA classes on-line in advance of the start date and Capstone is no exception. Here is a link to ***** faculty profile. Scroll down and you can download the most recent syllabus (Summer 2013). This sho...

Hi krazylady, I'll be in Capstone with you. Hard to believe that in just a few weeks, we will be DONE!! I don't have a feel for what is in store for us in Capstone, but I assume that since there isn't much posted here on allnurses, that it must be a...

Hi Minch, I took Tex Gov at the end of 2012, and at that time, we were allowed to work ahead in everything including the quizzes. I was able to finish the whole class in 4 weeks, by taking 2 quizzes per week. So, yes, maybe you could be finished by ...

Hi MBrickle, Umm, this is a tough one. I worked ahead in Health Assessment when I had a week off from work during the first week of class. That enabled me to get the objective portion of all the assignments done. However, I still had to write it all...
