Holistic Health Assessment is an ok course. It just requires attention to detail. Everything that you document on your assessment forms should be exactly as the book requires. Just follow the wording/ assessment documentation as it is written in the text. The assessments are time consuming, but very doable. The exams are open book, but the testing time is very limited, so you will need to read over the assigned material as much as possible.

Don't go into nursing if.... 1. you don't have any time management skills. 2. you don't have a thick skin. 3. you have a bad attitude. 4. you think you are too good to empty a bedpan or a urinal. 5. the sight of blood makes you faint. 6. you hate people. 7. you think you know everything, and are unwilling to learn anything new. 8. you have a poor work ethic.

Hi Jules0612, When you say that Hist 1312 was a lot of work, what was the most time consuming or difficult part? Was it papers, exams, discussion questions? I just completed Texas government. I didn't think it was too bad. I had about 5 discussion questions, 5 exams, one power point presentation, and 1 research paper. Most of the exam questions were from the lectures and few questions were from the textbook.

Hi theoZZ, What did you think about Tech writing and Professional Nursing A and B? I will start Tech. writing in January and Nursing A and B in February. I started with Texas politics and Composition II. Just finished those.

Hi svdbyGrace, Hopefully you will hear something soon. I called the university several times throughout the process. I also found the list of nursing advisor’s and emailed my “would be” advisor. You will be accepted to the University before you receive notice about the nursing program. Be sure you check frequently with the admissions office to check on your admissions status. I had been accepted, and didn’t even know. I didn’t receive an email about my acceptance to the university until I received my acceptance to the nursing program. The only way I found out, was just to keep checking. Once you are accepted to the university, go ahead and set up your student email account. This is how you will be notified of your acceptance to the program. My turnaround time seemed to take forever to me. I think they have more applications to approve this time of year. Best Wishes!

Hi abrights3d, I will also take technical writing starting January 14th. I will also take POLS 2311 and Professional Nursing A&B this semester. I have just completed my first two courses, English 1302 (composition II) and POLS 2312 Texas Government. So far, it’s o.k. A lot of work, but doable I guess. I am happy to have a month off to regroup. Hopefully they will have everything straightened out for you prior to the start date.

Fpbxny, did you ever hear anything from UT Arlington?

You'd better call Dr. Smith in the research department. This definitely counts as an adverse event.

He's been eating Soylent Green again!

I'll check his vital signs. You start the I.V.

I know I agreed to work the graveyard shift, but this is nuts!!!

Wow Shantel!!! I know you are so happy to be almost finished. Congratulations to you!!! I will be so thankful when it is my turn.

Hi Carylene, and fpbxny, Do you have many general courses to take, or do you only need the nursing courses? Just have patience with the enrollment process. I applied to the university about one week before you did (fpbxny). I just received my acceptance letter to the RN-BSN program on September 25th. So you should hear something soon. Be sure to check your MAV email, (thru the university email system) this is how they will notify you. If you have not set up your email, be sure to do so. You can also call the nursing dept to check the status of your application. Log in to the "student center" to be sure you don't have any "holds" on your account. I am really excited to get started. My first classes will start on October 21 or 23.

Thanks Shantel for the information! After reading through the forums, I have decided to try and CLEP out of algebra. I am not great at algebra, but I would rather attempt testing out of the course than to actually take it online. If you don't mind me asking, where are you in the program? What do you think of it so far?

Hello, I will be starting classes on October 21, 2013. I am starting with state and local government and Composition II. Any information about the courses??? ( Ex. Level of difficulty, Test, Essay papers due) I am just a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Thanks a bunch!
