  3. Should I go to WGU for my MSN?

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Western Governors University

  5. Should I go to WGU for my MSN?

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi. I totally agree with you...group work sounds painful and I don't think I could do it. It sounds like I could work at my own pace at WGU, which is exactly what I want. I am one of those...

    Windynurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all nurses new & old nurses (like me). My niece is graduating from nursing school and things are so different today than they were when I graduated, I am at a loss for what to get her for a...

  9. Need help with graduation gift idea for new RN grad

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, thank you, thank you again! I've pretty much narrowed it down to engraving a Littman stethoscope with her name & RN on it. Now, I still have to decide what to add to it, since this...

  10. Need help with graduation gift idea for new RN grad

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in General Nursing

    So the Vera Bradley bag sounds really nice & I could fill it with goodies. Which style bag/tote would be good? Does anyone out there have the mailbag style? I think it looks pretty neat, but how...

  13. UTA Starting Holistic Health Assessment 4-6-15...anyone else taking it, or any advice?

    Windynurse posted a topic in School, College Programs

    I thought I'd start a thread for people taking Holistic Health Assessment N3425 at UTA on 4-6-15. I heard it is quite time consuming so it would be nice to have a group for moral support. Is...

  14. UTA Starting Holistic Health Assessment 4-6-15...anyone else taking it, or any advice?

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in School, College Programs

    So I studied like crazy for the test and I don't think it really mattered much. It seemed like most of the answers were straight out of the book and if I could look things up in the index fast...

  15. UTA Starting Holistic Health Assessment 4-6-15...anyone else taking it, or any advice?

    Windynurse replied to Windynurse's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi, just got back my first assignment. I tried to follow the sample they gave us to the letter and even added more detail and I still got marked off for missing items! Not too bad, but I guess you...

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

    Yay! Me too! How do you spell relief??? Congrats to you too & thanks for starting this thread...it was nice to run to when I felt like screaming. Jk, it really wasn't that bad. To any newbies,...

  17. Research starting 2/23

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

    We are in the final stretch! What a relief! Looking at the DB assignment, I think it will be a lot of basic mechanics: copying your PICO question, facts & clinical recommendations onto a power...

  18. How to study for Texas Gov quizzes at UTA?

    Windynurse posted a topic in School, College Programs

    So my Texas Gov class just opened and I am wondering if anyone has advice on the best way to study for the quizzes. I read the first chapters and the lecture notes. Then I took the first "study...

  19. Research starting 2/23

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

    I think this is the hardest assignment I have had to do in this entire program so far! I'm one behind you, SaharaRN33...you are so lucky to be almost done! I won't start Capstone until May. I've...

  20. Associates after Bachelors

    Windynurse replied to Infofreak411's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I went back to a junior college to get my ADN 10 years after I graduated with my bachelor's degree. For me it was the logical choice because it was inexpensive and I only needed the nursing classes...

  21. Research starting 2/23

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

    Yes, I think we are all lucky that they did away with the group work. If I were you, I would still save Research until near the end of your coursework. It is a tough one and some of the other...

  22. Research starting 2/23

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

    You are not butting in at all. That is what this forum is for and we all learned from reading other people's threads. At least for this session, there was NO GROUP WORK and it seems like they...

  23. Research starting 2/23

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

  24. Research starting 2/23

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

    I'm nervous too! I feel like I am back in Nursing school (RN) learning how to do medications...triple check and triple check and triple check again!!! I think that is the key. It is not all that...

  25. Research starting 2/23

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

    I agree totally! You don't know what you did wrong so you can take it again and do even worse! Here's what I did and it helped. I figured out how many questions I missed the first time by...
