Heylove, I feel the same way, will graduate in May I pray.....sooo happy to be done!!! BSN2018

I agree Capstone is my least favorite course, very vague, too many discussion post which require citations, journal assignments with key points?? I don't get that yet and then the powerpoint and papers to write. I am definitely not feeling confident anymore. If you read this let me know how you did !! thanks Lj

enjoyed your post and am hoping to have my BSN by May. how was capstone for you?? I have not felt this unsettled since I began the program.

I see you got your BSN, wondered if you could tell me how Capstone was for you?? I just started it and the directions seem very vague. Journal topic, key points, discussion boards with all these citations, powerpoint with presentation and APA paper. I am at the very end of the program, have done well all A's except for Research but now feel a meltdown coming due to Capstone. Any advice?? Lj

downtheriver how is capstone instructions for you?? I too just began this course and am not real clear on what they are wanting for our journal entry as compared to how the coop ed daily journal was done. I am sad that I have made it this far to now be feeling very nerved out with my last course.

Oct 30th was supposed to have been my start date but I procrastinated and didn't take anything all summer, still need last nursing elective and capstone, can't get them both in by end of year unless I double up and I am just not feeling it. good luck to you, and let me know how it goes !!

I wanted to be done end of this year, but I was non-effective in getting my certification (missed the passing grade by apparently 3 stinking points) and now cannot graduate in December. uggghhh. I had to email advising team about my grad charge fees they are telling me is now due. I asked could I be dropped from the graduate thing until spring. haha. I was told there was a way I could still finish by end of year if I took Co-op with Capstone !! Hello, I almost jumped in with both feet for that, but then got to thinking about my other obligations in life and there is really no way can I do that. Are you going to take something concurrently with your capstone?? I will hopeful join you in January for Co-op and then Capstone. Still may retake certification test, but have to wait 60 days and pay fee again, but my mind is very old and I just want to be done, no I am on the fence.

I was contemplating taking co-op (for my last nursing upper level elective) but when I saw you wrote "journaling that is graded hard" LOL I am having second thoughts. The choices for our elective seem very unfair. I took med terminology, ridiculously difficult and of no use long term. I actually wanted to take Psychiatric Nursing which is an upper level course and would benefit me in my career path, but nope not allowed. Very disappointing.

Hey nurselindah I was contemplating taking co-op (for my last nursing upper level elective) but when I saw you wrote "journaling that is graded hard" LOL I am having second thoughts.

I realize your post was awhile back, so question is for you or anyone else who might can help me..... Is it a good idea to take Capstone with the last nursing elective, which for me will be Coop Nursing Work?? I need both to finish/graduate in fall and have been told you can take concurrently but I am not feeling to sure of myself. Appreciate in advance you guys sharing your experiences :))))

Hey tay, Research is the worst class ever !! uggghhh Management not so bad... and as far as those hyphen things they WAS on my test !!! that's why I really didn't like it. I have been in nursing since 92 and I thought med terminology, yeah be easy no prob, haha wrong..... and not sure regarding due dates on Saturday but that is how all the classes are set up with the discussions due on Wednesday. I work every other weekend so Saturday due dates on my work weekend really hurt, not to mention I work 2-10pm. I truly only like capstone except have to take another nursing elective, geezz I don't think that is right since I took med term, why can't I take art or something fun ? lol anyway guess I will go ahead take Co-op to finish elective up but won't be able to do capstone till January, regardless.

these are choices for the upper level nursing electives through UTA RN-BSN online program. Co-op is cooperative nursing work which involves your employer. I did not take Legacy so I do not really know what you would learn, just heard that it was time consuming, writing more papers I would guess.

Hey Jackson...you would think med terminology would be a breeze, right just by the name of the class, especially if you have been in nursing for years, haha that class was horrible..... there was only 4 exams, which if you mess up on any of them that can drop your GPA, they are timed and I went literally down to the last second to finish them, it's basically dissecting words, what's the prefix, root, comb, suffix, etc..... then defining what each of those mean, you may think that's easy but it's not. Wasn't for me anyways, I was going to take co-op starting date of 9/25, but dropped it, instead will attempt to pass certification test for last elective. I have heard legacy is time consuming, so if given the choice between those 3, I would do the co-op !!! Good luck to you :)

Hey esipbisn...know this is way late from when you posted your question, so I am wondering if you have taken your exam yet? I got my ATT within just a few days via email then letter in mail. I need this certification for my work and as my last nursing elective for my BSN program. I plan to take test this week (end of Septermber). The studying part has been very challenging for me. I find it hard to read through these books. I have worked in psych for 11 years and I think that makes it harder to give the answers they actually want. Good luck to you.

How did you do in this class, Care of Vulnerable Population ?? I am taking in the fall 2015.
