  1. I loved this class for this reason. I got to see the work submitted by my fellow classmates. There were some that were pretty good but then there were a few that did not even meet the criteria for a...

    What do you do for the CAT? I have not heard of this of it isn't an alternate discussion

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    I think they are the alternate discussion topics. I have heard that some instructors make them mandatory. Every class I have had that includes them made them alternate and worth participation...
  4. I am three classes behind you... Keep plugg'in away, you are almost
  5. The two classes I liked the most were statistics and nursing research. Maybe because I think I learned the most because they were only briefly taught in my ADN program. No Skype or video yet, lot of...

    What classes are you in now
  7. I hear what you are saying and I don't really know the solution to this problem. I never got less than a 'A' in the CLC projects for the mere fact that I usually take charge and make sure it is...

    Truck Driver wanna be nurse

    This is really doable! I went back to school for my RN nearly 4 years ago at 41 years of age. It was a little harder getting back in the rhythm of studying but I over came pretty quickly. Not bad...

    Why become a Hospital PCT/PCA/CNA while in NS?

    Yes, very amusing. I do not like people that take both sides of the argument, they always think they are
  10. Packing is awful! The move sounds like it will do you good. Enjoy surgery, I
  11. I think I would have like this as well. If I would have studied for certification in my new specialty then I would have learned more about my job and how to do it better. I plan on tackling this...

    Ethics: Where more than one third of your grade is tied into the last week of class and you spend the following week waiting to see if you got an 'A' or even passed.... I shouldn't be thinking about...

    Quit during orientation

    What an opportunity you missed. When you applied for this job what did you think it would entail? I wont argue with you that being a tech is a hard job and I have great respect for the techs I have...

    so not looking farward spirituality

    I don't think that the OP is worried about the religious content, just commenting on the structure of the class. I am in this program and this is my next class as well. The class is paper heavy,...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    This is it exactly! I believe that my facility and other like it do not understand the market value of BSNs. Most of the nurses at my facility obtain other jobs once they get their BSN. I for one...
  16. Yep, already finished my first margarita. Submitting my final stuff for ethics but still have to call my advisor and tell her I am not taking Spirituality right now. Better do this before the second...
  17. I think that I will take my chances with another instructor at a later date. The time off is necessary to recharge my batteries. You know I have had unknown instructors and even one instructor that...
  18. This is ridiculous! The course only costs 1600.00 and effort on our part. I find it fairly easy to write papers with less than 5% similarity score and get near perfect grades. It is just time...
  19. Who remembers the first week in Spirituality? Here is my dilemma..... I planned a 2 week break to start after this week due to being burned out and a small family vacation. I found out that I have...

    Has anyone taken nutrition?

    I don't know if it would make sense. The first job you have wont care that you took it. The information would help you on the NCLEX and during your practice. If you know a little about nutrition...

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    I hear what you are saying but I had a question. Do you think that you are absorbing more of the information because you have your BSN after a full and rewarding career? Think of it as a nursing...

    This is why most of our nurses on staff are ADN's, why bother if it means no more money and I can work without having to do it? I am in a rural area and we are staffed by exclusively ADN's for the...
  23. You haven't? I quote tokmon all the time. That's knowledge right

    Has anyone taken nutrition?

    I took nutrition, it was required for my ADN. I thought it was really easy but wish I had retained the information better. All through nursing school there were questions on quizzes and tests that...

    controversial nursing issue topic help

    These are really great topics, the patient satisfaction one is extremely rich in information. There was a link to a study that equated increased patient satisfaction to decreased patient outcomes....
