  1. Pre Reqs and BSN program courses

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

    As others have said, I would not take HIST 1311 with another course. It is a poorly-designed and poorly-taught course that will take up all your free time and then some. HIST 1312 is the same, but I...

  2. Just Finished RN-BSN Program

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

    The research class is terrible. I'm pretty sure I've posted about it before on here, but the people I was forced to be in a group with were awful. Well, one was decent, but the others were simply...

  3. College algebra - OMG!

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

    Assuming you are taking it at UTA, the video lectures the professor has for each lesson are quite explicit and step-by-step. Follow along, do it on paper as she does it, watch sections over again,...

  4. Just applied to UTA

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

    Stats is pretty time consuming. I thought it was easy, but I'm a math nerd. But even still, it took a lot of

  5. Can lvn get fired if facility goes to RN only facility??

    iLOVEbees replied to lvn1972's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Typically, LVNs are grandfathered in when a facility turns to all-RN. It's like when a facility goes all BSN. ADNs are typically grandfathered in. It's expensive to hire and train a bunch of new...

  6. Extremely Overweight Nurses

    iLOVEbees replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career

    It's not a new issue. I worked with a nurse in the mid 90s who was extremely overweight. She was young too, late 20s. There was a lot of things she physically couldn't do but she worked with a...

  7. Has anyone taken Microbiology (BIOL 2460) online at UTA?

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

    Thanks for the heads up. Can you confirm what malorymug said, that is 1. The access card is not required to do tests/assignments. Therefore I can buy a used book with no problem. 2. You cannot work...

  8. Which is harder A&P II or Micro at UTA???

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

    For those who took micro at UT online, does the course allow you to work ahead? I'm taking A&P II right now and it allows you to work ahead, which is great, instead of locking down tests until...

  9. Everyone wants to be a nurse...

    iLOVEbees replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think people are just flocking to a career they've heard is in demand, is stable, and pays well. I don't genuinely believe there's a sudden uptick in people who really want to be a nurse. Honestly,...

  10. Advisor Issues

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

    I've had two advisors. The first one was ok. She would get back to me withing a day or two. Seemed a bit slow to me but it was workable. The second and current one is pretty good. He is...

  11. UTA RN to BSN while working 40hrs /week?

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

    I'd buy the book if I were you. IIRC, some of the quiz questions are a little obtuse and you have to use the book to find the answers. Good luck with your classes. I'm done with the nursing...

  12. UTA RN to BSN while working 40hrs /week?

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

    Nursing Research is one of the heavier courses. Plus they require you to do group work and if you get in a bad group, like I did, it can be impossible to get an A. I have no idea how people who...

  13. Nurs 4455 - Help

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

    If you don't get a response from your AC, you are supposed to email the professor. Make sure you used the AC's correct email address though. They are usually...

  14. Nurs 4455 - Help

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

    I recall that the nurse leader has to be a BSN. If the person you found is BSN-prepared and in any kind of leadership position, she should qualify. Even just delegating to home health workers would...

  15. UTA RN to BSN while working 40hrs /week?

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

    Absolutely it is doable. You might want to take one class at a time instead of two classes. Yes it will take longer but I found two classes at the same time to be pretty hard, what with work and...

  16. Nurs 4455 - Help

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

    I took 4455 (nursing leadership) a few months ago and got an A. What are you having trouble with? I remember it was kind of a pain doing all the busy work and making arrangements to shadow a nurse...

  17. UTA general ED courses

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

    Hi, I took statistics (MATH 1308) online at UTA a couple months ago. I'm currently taking algebra (MATH 1302) online at UTA. Statistics was hard when I first started it. It's not really math, not like...

  18. RN-BSN online at UTA Arlington

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

    You need to buy an APA book, I believe it was APA made easy 6th edition, that is quite inexpensive. No other books. You write an APA paper during A about your personal philosophy of nursing. In B,...

  19. RN-BSN online at UTA Arlington

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

    I didn't have to take technical writing (prior credit) but I did have to take Prof Nursing A&B. My recommendation is to take Prof Nursing A&B by

  20. RN-BSN online at UTA Arlington

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

    Someone asked about stats at UTA. I just complete my UTA stats class recently. It's 8 weeks long. The instructor is really, really good and explains things very well. She gives excellent lectures and...

  21. NEW GRAD, giving FLU SHOTS for the first time....

    iLOVEbees replied to studentkj's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't be hesitent when giving the shots. That makes it hurt. Just quickly poke it in and it will hurt less. Fatter (more common) and muscular (less common) people will need it a little deeper and you...

  22. Cheapest online RN-BSN

    iLOVEbees replied to Faeriewand's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have about 10 friends and co-workers who are in the UTA RN-BSN program right now. Only one had problems like have been described in this and other threads. As for me, they accepted everything on my...

  23. "I didn't go to school to do X" the new mentality in nursing?

    iLOVEbees replied to Good Morning, Gil's topic in General Nursing

    I did LTC and I'd help the CNAs do rounds sometimes. Morale is usually not good in a SNF so I did what I could to help out. It was known that if something came up, I'd have to stop helping them and...

  24. "I didn't go to school to do X" the new mentality in nursing?

    iLOVEbees replied to Good Morning, Gil's topic in General Nursing

    I don't particularly love the busy work of getting blankets or wiping poo, but it's part of the job and I get to do the things I like because of it, such as playing with balloon pumps. Nurses who say...

  25. Employment drug screen to include nicotine

    iLOVEbees replied to originalred's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a problem with it at all. Hospitals are private employers and they can choose to hire people based on whatever criteria they
