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...

Hello, I just recently received my acceptance letter for the online RN-BSN program at UT Arlington. I have registered, and will start classes on October 21, 2013. Just wondering if anyone else will be starting soon. Thanks!

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 peo...

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 q...

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 rece...

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 Govern...

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 accep...

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...

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 a...

I know you were serious with your post, but you actually had me laughing out loud. Really! After my day today, I would have thought that to be impossible. You have a wonderful personality. Just let that shine, and don't worry about the other stuff. ...

Welcome to the world of LTC! I would like to encourage you, but I must also be very honest about this area of nursing. It's not for everyone. Speaking from personal experience, LTC nursing is one of the most difficult areas, but it can also be the...

I hear everything you're saying, and I agree whole heartedly, but here where I live depending on where you work, after being written up 3 times for overtime, you will be terminated. They do expect you to get your work done before you leave, and if yo...

Being able to clock out when all of my work is actually finished would be a dream come true, but in real life, it just does not work (not where I work). I have worked in quite a few facilities that will reprimand and write you up if you are on the cl...

Congratulations! :)

Congrats! :)

Bob and weave! Judy is being pulled to the geri psych unit tonight.

This is really funny stuff! So true!!! I can really see some poor nurse snapping and saying this stuff. LOL!

Maybe we should institute a decaf only policy...
