I'm almost done with the AP RN-to-BSN program at UTA. I have two classes left - microbiology and then capstone. I've tried emailing my academic advisor but he does not have any answers and states to contact the professor. I've tried emailing the pr...

I agree with the OP. My BSN was all fluff. I am not a better nurse because of it. It was needed, however, to get into the master's program I wanted.

Never been kicked in the groin, but I did have my scrub top ripped off once. It was a V-neck and the lady grabbed it right at the V and riiiiiiiiiiiiip. Dementia patients can be pretty strong.

I had to do the normal enrollment on applytexas, even though I graduated from UTA with my BSN. Obviously, I didn't have to send any transcripts but that's the only thing I can think of that was quicker. I think UTA BSN graduates are given preference...

Hi, I got my BSN for UTA and am in UTA's AP FNP program now. 1. Yes, you can. Be warned that to get financial aid, you have to have 6 credit hours a semester. If you take a 10 week course and a 5 week course sequentially, you can get 6 credit hours...

American Literature was a lot of reading and some papers. Pretty much what you probably expect. The hardest part is staying awake while reading some of the stuff.

There are a few other, small requirements as well. For one class, I had to interview a home health nurse. For another, I had to very thoroughly assess a person. For another, I had to find an elderly person who was willing to do a "life review" wit...

I took 5311. I got an A, but I took it alone and I wouldn't classify it as easy. I went for 5311 because it was 5 weeks and fit into an otherwise-empty spot in my schedule. Grading is as follows: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Journal Critique[/TD] [TD]20%[/T...

Buying my books for my next class, N5301 Nursing Research, and there's a statistics book, a nursing research book, and then a "Pageburst" ebook that is a study guide. The ebook is listed as mandatory. Y'all that have already taken this class, is t...

They only included my UTA credits when I graduated summa cum laude. I know this because my pre-UTA GPA was filled with low due to not taking school seriously when I was young.

It's not pass/fail; you get a grade. Compared to some of the classes, I thought it was a walk in the park. Grading was quite loose and it seemed like just going through the motions.

Next is the second research class, 5328. To be honest, I'm dreading it.

Buy an APA book or an APA add-on for Word (such as PERRLA, which I recommend). Your APA is very important and will be scrutinized. You want to get where writing in APA is second nature.

You get your course map (eAdvisor plan) from your academic adviser after you're accepted. I can't think of anything I could have done before being accepted. Waiting is hard, I know. Well, working extra to pay for school is something I could have do...

Two nurses I work with and I have taken 1311 at UTA. I passed but thought it was the worst course by far of any of them. One of my coworkers dropped it and took it at a community college because it was so bad. The other coworker dropped it, then t...

I felt the test came out of left field, asking questions in a way unlike the rest of the course. I thought it was weird going in that we had zero practice questions and zero weekly quizzes to at least give a glimpse of what the test would be like. ...

Capstone is pretty easy, especially compared to some of the other courses. My advice is to relish the idea of finishing in 5 weeks!

If you have access to MyMav, you can check your status online.

You start with 5327 Nursing Theory. I did not enjoy the class. It was tedious, the grading seemed arbitrary, and the actual content....well, to be honest it's not the most applicable knowledge. Still, it's only 5 weeks. I'm about to finish my se...

Radiation_RN, have you checked the status of transfer credit on MyMav? My experience was UTA accepted everything of mine. Some of my stuff was very old and some was coded a bit differently, but they accepted stuff readily. I was quite pleased. Prof...

Since math is a bit of a struggle for you, perhaps you can take the math classes at a local community college? You would have access to a physical professor and, most likely, also to math tutors.

I started in May and didn't find out until just before the program started. They really cut it close, unlike the RN-BSN program. Good luck!

42% on Safe Assign for CA #2 for me. Yeah, the grading is tougher than for the BSN. It freaks me out that I need an 84 just to get a B. I'm still not really sure how this works. If I get a C in this class, does it still count as a pass or do I ha...

Turned mine in and SA says I matched 65% with up to 30 papers. Our papers have to be pretty similar by nature of the assignment, I think.

trinitymaster, how many pages (not including title page) was your critical appraisal? I'm still working on mine...
