I worked at Cook Childrens for 3 years and loved it. 80 bed unit spanned over 2 floors, all private rooms. Neo and NNP's in house 24/7, milk is mixed by dedicated milk bank techs, equipment tech's so you never have to clean an isolette. You will see ...

I took College Mathematics at SUNY Empire State College, completely online, no proctored exams and completely manageable. I graduated from UTA in December and all you need is a math course that is at the college level, it does NOT have to be algebr...
I can't believe that on top of the $500 plus course, $175 text books, I have to pay to have my test and final exam proctored and have to go out and buy a web cam! I really wish this would have been passed on to me as I would have not even enrolled in...

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TAKE ALGEBRA AT UTA!! I am awful at Math and knew college algebra was not going to work for me at UTA. I took College Mathematics from Empire State College, completely online, not proctored, but completely doable! The cost was aroun...

I hate to burst your bubble, but the transition into prof. nursing course is one of the easiest I have taken at UTA. I've learned to pick out which readings are necessary to pass the quizzes and complete the assignments. If you read every single thin...

ladyd123, I am actually taking both of these classes too. The geriatric class is not bad, but the vulnerable population class is just absolutely ridiculous. Do they actually think we read all of this crap! Do think they will actually call the person ...
So I checked the academic partnership website and they now have an FNP online program through UTA. I was so excited that I now have the option to complete a MSN/FNP at UTA. Has anyone else considered this? The price tag was a little over $33,000 for ...
This class has got to be the biggest waste of time. Not hard at all, just super time consuming, practically retyping the books assessments in your own words and findings. I do this everyday at work assessing patients. This class should be for student...

I am a 2008 Excelsior Graduate with my ASN and have about 6 months left in the program with UTA's RN-BSN. It will have taken me almost 2 years exactly to finish my BSN. They did accept all of my credits from Excelsior, but Excelsior is a little light...
If you are in the RN-BSN program through the academic partnership, there are NO clinicals at all. I too have had frustration with my academic advisor. She can not even register me correctly at times. I had a friend who completed the RN-BSN and she st...

I dropped this class like a bad habit have thought about leaving UTA altogether because of this class. I will keep with UTA but will be looking for another math class at another university. Shame on you UTA for this awful class being required. They r...

Well I just finished POLS 2311, it was very doable and I took it with Legacy of the Family. You really just had to listen to lectures, take weekly quizzes, weekly discussions and a final. I kept a B the whole way through and bombed the final and ende...

The movie analysis seems like I could enter a ton of information! Did you just hit the basics in each section? How detailed of a geno and eco map did they want? It all seems so vague to me.

Thanks NICUrn718, I just ordered my books from Campus Book rentals. Seems like a good deal. I hope this class is not too time consuming, but here goes nothing.
