A gardner. Would love to work in a garden all day long! But since that's just a dream job and not reality, nursing is the second best option. Would like to leave bedside nursing and focus more on health promotion though.

I am about to move across country and I don't think I can pack everything, sell the house, spend 10 days on the road driving, while taking two classes at UTA (RN-BSN). I'm registered for Stats and US government. Which one of these classes will be eas...

I worked at NWTH CCU/ICU as a new RN several years ago and had a great experience. Moving back and I'm thinking in applying again!

Hi! Starting at UTA on Monday 8/19 and feeling pretty excited and nervous about going back to school. Financial aid was disbursed yesterday. My question is, when will the courses show up on blackboard?

Thanks guys! I guess then it depends of the teacher. This class I'm taking which starts officially today, was opened this past Thursday night. A lot of people have posted their assignments already. It's nice to be able to do it early.

Where in Alaska are you planning to move to? This is a huge state and living in the Anchorage area is not the same as living in the Interior, or even in the villages. You can also check indeed.com for jobs :)

Actually, not doing their program anymore. I got hardly any help from the school of nursing. Plus not all the classes can be taken online through UA and that was not going to work with my work/family schedule. Also they had too many prereqs and it wa...

Oh, and what is it about the research class that makes it so difficult? There are a lot of negative comments about it on the forum. Is there anything I can do to prepare? Thank you so much for being willing to answer our questions. That is a huge hel...

Hi! Just a few questions :) How long did it take you to complete program? What classes are ok to double up with another and which classes are better to take by themselves? Thanks!

Hi RunHeatherRun! I tried to reply to your message but I guess I need to initiate 15 posts before they let me reply. I've only initiated one! Need to get busy on posting so I can reply to PM. It seems like we're taking similar classes to start. How c...

Hi NurseErin, what did you end up doing? I'm about to start that class and I hate how much the book costs. $180!!!

What type of clinicals are there for the online RN-BSN program? And what if you live out of state?

Are there any clinicals for the RN-BSN program?

Has anyone been exempt from the TOEFL requirement at UTA? I'm applying to their online RN-BSN program and it asks to submit TOEFL scores if I didn't attend an English-speaking high school. Is that the case even if I've been in the States for 15+ year...

Hi! Sorry Trang5891, I just noticed your PM. I guess I haven't been in here often enough to be able to reply by PM. Yeah, I called admissions and they told me I didn't have to take the TOEFL so I went ahead and applied to UTA, but then my advisor f...

Hi! Yeah, I have to take the TOEFL. No way around it. At least not from UTA. Other universities don't have that requirement. I don't know about the minimum score they require. I'm just going to take the test and go from there. I test in a few weeks.

I start 3/25 as well. Taking statistics and english comp 2. I'm really excited and just want to get it done although a little aprehensive about using blackboard. I'm sure I'll get used to it in no time. And yes, $504 for each 3 credit class.

It seems like you have a challenging situation in your hands, but that will make it easier to see the progress you make. I'm a nurse manager as well, and here's something I've learned: if people feel sincerely appreciated, they'll do better at their ...

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think about asking admissions. I was being transferred from enrollment to school of nursing back and forth with no answers. Called admissions and got my answer right away. :)

You finished nursing school!! That speaks volumes about your strength and abilities! So way to go! For some odd reason, even with the nursing shortage, it's difficult to find a job in nursing. Keep applying, even for those night shifts (that's how I ...

Hi! Just read this post today. Did you attend UAA RN-BSN program? I just applied to it!
