  1. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    iLOVEbees replied to BadMoonOnTheRise's topic in Online Distance Learning

    UTA is 13 months, assuming you have all your gen ed already. FYI, since it is in Texas, you have extra history requirements. It's state law. That could add to your time frame if you're not wanting...

  2. 3 credit hour A&P and Micro but UTA wants 4 credit hours - have to retake course?

    iLOVEbees replied to iLOVEbees's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I know this is an old post, but I thought I'd update. I finished Capstone, but Microbiology was still showing as "Not Satisfied" despite the assurance of my academic adviser. I ended up calling the...

  3. NURS 4585 - Capstone (starting 9/23/13)

    iLOVEbees replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I just finished this class. It's a relatively easy class. Also, all assignments are due Monday of week 5, so it's really a 4 week class not a 5 week class in my opinion. I did my journey paper the...

  4. Class ring?

    iLOVEbees replied to ldawn79's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I will not. I don't wear jewelry and it would just sit in a box somewhere until I die and then it would get thrown

  5. Starting Capstone Next Week!!

    iLOVEbees replied to krazylady's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Congratulations everyone. It's wonderful to be done with papers for the foreseeable

  6. Cooperative nursing

    iLOVEbees replied to Neonursej's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Have you considered getting a certification instead? Most of the people I know get their CCRN, but they accept other certs for those who don't work critical care. The cost is actually less to get a...

  7. Courses list on blackboard

    iLOVEbees replied to usrn1's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Rarely, the instructor will open the course up early. A&P opened up for me almost 2 weeks before the scheduled start, although I couldn't take any tests early. Still, it was very nice to be able...

  8. Starting Capstone Next Week!!

    iLOVEbees replied to krazylady's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    You are so right about that. If they would just provide an example of a completed Capstone project, it would make it so much easier. I went ahead and did the whole Journey paper. It's really silly...

  9. Starting Capstone Next Week!!

    iLOVEbees replied to krazylady's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm trying to wrap my head around all this, too. A friend of mine that took capstone last year said it's an easy A and she did all of the work in the first 2 weeks (although she turned it all in on...

  10. Research Starting 8/12

    iLOVEbees replied to maryannmartin75's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I took American Literature. My experience was similar to focusport above, who took British Literature. We had several papers and reading, reading, and more reading. I imagine they're very similar...

  11. "I don't want him as my nurse"

    iLOVEbees replied to libran1984's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't share the irritation about people not using the 0-10 scale properly. So what if it's a 20 on a 0-10 scale? Yes, it's impossible but that's what the patient says his pain is. Document it and...

  12. UTA Political Science Texas Government 2312 VS math 1302

    iLOVEbees replied to TeleRN_OC's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Texas Govt has 5 modules and each module has a test worth 12.5% of grade. No comp final. 10% of grade is discussion. 12.5% of grade is a data analysis project that is easy. 15% of grade is a paper...

  13. 3 credit hour A&P and Micro but UTA wants 4 credit hours - have to retake course?

    iLOVEbees replied to iLOVEbees's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I actually emailed my academic advisor about my concerns and if there was someone else I could talk to, to verify that the micro course has been accepted. He got kind of huffy in his email response...

  14. Starting Capstone Next Week!!

    iLOVEbees replied to krazylady's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I can't speak for krazylady, but I had a ton of prereqs to do. My Associate's didn't require much and what they requires was different from what UTA wants for a BSN. The end result is that I had...

  15. Starting Capstone Next Week!!

    iLOVEbees replied to krazylady's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm starting capstone 8/12 as well. Here's hoping for a quick 5

  16. How many people are in your nursing class?

    iLOVEbees replied to Kskar91's topic in General Students

    This was years ago, but 24 people were accepted into the program and 23 actually started the program. We ended up graduating 11. Very intimate

  17. The Insanity That Is APA in Nursing School

    iLOVEbees replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Students

    I paid for a Microsoft Word add-on, PERRLA. It automates 95% of APA and made my life writing papers so much easier. I actually spent time writing papers, not formatting. There are other products...

  18. UTA Political Science Texas Government 2312 VS math 1302

    iLOVEbees replied to TeleRN_OC's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Texas Gov't is an easy class. You can handle it. MATH 1302 was easy for me. It was hard for others. It's math - you know if it comes easily to you or not. If you're in the "not" category, there's...

  19. Per-diem nurses

    iLOVEbees replied to Vishwamitr's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Per diem nurses get paid more because of the inherent volatility. You want the higher pay but want the government to take away all the

  20. Trying to become LPN with a previous arrest

    iLOVEbees replied to MdLPN13's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I hope you disclosed that when you applied. I highly doubt that a bad check would have been an issue, but lying about it (by not disclosing it) is seen very unfavorably by the various boards of...

  21. What do you do when Work calls on your day off?

    iLOVEbees replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Just don't answer your phone. It's pretty easy. If you boss is one of those "I called you yesterday on your day off and you never called me back" types, tell her you were busy all day and don't...

  22. Pre Reqs and BSN program courses

    iLOVEbees replied to Minch's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I will verify that texas govt allows you to work ahead. Plus, it's an easy class. You can finish it 2 weeks early if you put a little effort into

  23. Nursing certification as elective credit??

    iLOVEbees replied to Minch's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    CCRN is what most people go for to satisfy the elective. I have my CVRN as well and I wonder if they accept that. I didn't ask,

  24. Difference between night and day nurses

    iLOVEbees replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    So. Freaking. True. The further I can stay away from management, the closer I can be to actual patient care. I did days for years and I did nights for years. There are pluses and minuses for...

  25. TSI

    iLOVEbees replied to OCNRN63's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    TSI Deficient Instructions What if I do not earn a passing score on one or more sections of the approved exams? Students who have tested, but have not attained the established minimum scores on one...
