  1. Research starting 2/23

    Windynurse replied to RnBound0510's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Hi all! I was just wondering the same thing. The first week was ok, but I started trying to work ahead a little and it is NOT FUN. So much seems to be vague and not straightforward. I usually know...

  2. Research starting 2/23

    Windynurse replied to RnBound0510's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Welcome DingerRN! Nice to know we will all be in this together for the next 5 weeks! I rented the textbook, "Understanding Nursing Research" from Amazon for $29. I bought the Study Guide (to...

  3. Research starting 2/23

    Windynurse replied to RnBound0510's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    RnBound0510, Thanks! Seeing the due dates, etc. would really be helpful. I think it is frustrating that we cannot see the syllabus ahead of time to help us decide these things. Have you...

  4. Research starting 2/23

    Windynurse replied to RnBound0510's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Hi! I am also starting this class on 2/23. I'm so glad there is someone who knows something about the course. There have been so many horror stories about the group work. Do you know if it is...

  5. NURS4465 Vulnerable Populations Date:11/3 -12/5

    Windynurse replied to sweetlilwolf's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Give yourself at least 2 hours. If you pass, you will probably get the certificate the same day. If you don't, it may take them a few days to get back to you, & then you have to retake it....

  6. NURS4465 Vulnerable Populations Date:11/3 -12/5

    Windynurse replied to sweetlilwolf's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    It does look better from this point forward. Otherwise I would probably die. Did anyone else think that week 2 quiz was awful?

  7. NURS4465 Vulnerable Populations Date:11/3 -12/5

    Windynurse replied to sweetlilwolf's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Me too! Is there any end to this? I have heard that week 2 is the worst, but right now, it feels like it will do me in! It's nice to know there are more of us going though this. I am also...

  8. Do we need a union? Management is taking advantage of us.

    Windynurse posted a topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    With all the changes in healthcare, management keeps telling us they need to cut back. They have cut back on staffing, supplies, support staff, benefits, raises, etc. Nurses are not getting breaks....

  9. Do we need a union? Management is taking advantage of us.

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Hi all. I've gotten such amazing input from all of you. So, it's been awhile since my first post, and now it is actually happening. Our work environment has gone from bad to worse. The union...

  10. Do we need a union? Management is taking advantage of us.

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Thanks all! You rock! It is getting ugly! Several of my co-workers have gotten "disciplined" for speaking up. Imagine that? Are we no longer in a free country? There is also a lawsuit re: no breaks....

  11. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    Windynurse posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am struggling with choosing an online RN to BSN program. I prefer a short term, self guided, inexpensive program. I have another Bachelor's degree. I am hoping not to have to take extra courses...

  12. Do we need a union? Management is taking advantage of us.

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    So it turns out, my hospital is actually being courted by a nurse's union as we speak. This latest benefit cut was the last straw for most of the nurses I work with. We are in the earliest of the...

  13. Do we need a union? Management is taking advantage of us.

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Jadelpn, You hit the nail on the head with what we want: everything you listed that a union can do! Yes, we have the token Shared Governance Committees, but ultimately all decisions come from the...

  14. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Raviepoo. I may be gravitating toward that one (UTA) too! I was hesitant because of the extra classes they require, but compared to the other programs, it does seem to be a front runner. Granite...

  15. Do we need a union? Management is taking advantage of us.

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Thanks for all the input. The quality of care at our hospital is deteriorating and we need to find a way to stop it from getting worse. I think you are right when you say the CEO's are still living...

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks! Great info! So much to consider! The search is not over!

  17. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks again Wendyyvonne! I think you are right about Granite State being 7 classes. I was reading that I might get credit for my NCC certification, but now I see that it is probably just a General...

  18. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So, I just did it. I hit the APPLY NOW tab on the Granite State website. The next morning I was conditionally accepted and they had already found my RN license number to add to my application....

  19. Do we need a union? Management is taking advantage of us.

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Yeah. I did some research. I was very disappointed to find that our hospital system has spent millions of dollars on consultants to push the anti-union agenda. That money could have been used to...

  20. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Wendyyvonne, I'm so glad you suggested Granite State U and Ohio U. They both seem to be quite accommodating and reasonable. I also like the idea of a real GPA. It looks like GSU has their site...

  21. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks so much for your feedback! I will definitely look into all of the above. It's nice to know there are more of us with "other bachelor's" out there. I wish they made it more straightforward....
