University of Louisiana Lafayette (ULL) RN-BSN Experience

hailesky69 · Dec 8, 2015

Hi guys

So far so good at ULL and its fair. I have taken 353, 354, 344 and 327 courses. 327 is a lot of paper work and power point presentation. so far I did one class at a time except 353. I am planning to take 355 and 396 together. I believe 355 is the course that some former student mentioned as "hard". I think this 'assessment' course? I am very slow reader and working full time and have family. Can anyone who has recent experience with these classes advice me ? Taking 355 and 396 together ???

Hi

I appreciate your informative postings on ULL classes.

what is your idea on 355 & 396 taking them together? I work full time and have family.

Please say what you think is better way to go ? take it one at a time?

thank you

Hailesky69,

Not sure if it is too late but I think 355 and 396 are doable together. Granted I was not working and do not have kids but I was taking one 4 credit class at a time in the beginning and thought that was plenty. Then I ended taking 355, 396, and Eng 211 together and managed to get through fine. 355 has 2 quizzes, 3 discussions, 2 case studies (3 pages of writing), and one video of a focused assessment with a time limit. 396 has 4 discussion, 4 quizzes (very detailed reading assignments that are not long), resume + cover letter (prob already have), career map (not hard), nursing philosophy and then putting all those together for your portfolio.

Good luck!

Don't do it. There online program set up is confusing, there teachers are not helpful, and there grading system is very strict. My wife and I took it at the same time. We both had to finish the same general Ed courses. They changed the course she was enrolled in without asking her to a much more difficult class. They told us $8500 to start but it's really like $15k after all the fees. I should have done Chamberlain.

Worst school ever. They are a very old school. No wonder there are not a lot of people that talk good about it.

I had a good run as well until the last few courses. My opinion, Don't do it. Their online program set up is confusing, their teachers are not helpful, and there grading system is very strict.

I have just applied and about to send my transcripts in. Anyone else about to start in January, 2017?

I started 2015. Make sure you complete all general Ed course at local community college or CLEP. You'll save thousands $$$ and headaches. Gen Ed 3 credit class was about $1600. Their nursing classes are pretty straight forward. Their gen Ed classes are no joke. Gened tests are proctored. Register as early as possible for classes as they get full and research your professors. Most are good but the bad are bad! Invest in a APA computer program.
