Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing great! A little bit about myself, I have a bachelors in business management, and a masters in health informatics and I decided to get my BSN because I want to work as an informatics nurse. currently working as a consultant in healthcare and my passion is computers and in other for me to break into the field I had to go back to school to get my BSN.

So I thought of an idea! I would love for us to work together and ride this program out as well as finish strong! So far I have a 4.0 in science classes

BIOLOGY: A

AP I: A

AP II: A

INTRO TO NURSING: A

i have also taken

Hist: C

Government: A

Currently taking Math 1301

I would love to create a chat groups for us on whatsapp so please feel free to comment with ur phone numbers beginning with area codes! I believe we can help each other and work together!

Please this is only for the purpose of us being in the nursing program, I feel we can help those that are struggling in certain classes

I look forward to ur responses!!

hi @adelam, I'm doing 4 subjects with different weeks, I think i have one subject that will run for 5 weeks. Actually, I don't know if I did the right thing of taking 4 subjects since this is my first time trying the online course. It feels overwhelming, I feel so behind even if I read some of the chapters for the first week. I hope that can adjust faster in the program.Are you applying for ABSN program too? Good Luck to you Adelam......

You've got this, don't stress!! My biggest advice is get big planner, that has the month at a glance as well as weekly broken down (I have one I got a Michaels arts and crafts store called my big happy planner)! Color code each class, on your month at a glance part write down due dates for assignments, quizzes and tests!! The weekly part put what chapters or assignments are required to be done that week!! Hope that helps!!

@ Adelam: Thank You so much for your advice....:),I appreciate it a lot.....By the way, I read from the recent thread that you just finished taking intro to nursing, is it the same with Intro to Professional Nursing? Im a little bit concern with the APA format.... can you also give some tips on how to get good grades on that subject...thanks again......

Please add me to the group. I just applied to [email protected]

No problem!!! That's the one I took (just shortened the name lol) it was online with Jennings! Honestly don't stress over the apa, she gives you different assignments to help figure it out! I had the apa manual (it was a required book last semester, but not this one from my understanding) but rarely used it! You'll get the hang of it!!

There is also APA software you can download as well as settings and templates you can find on Microsoft Wors built in.

I love my happy planner!!! It helps me stay organized and if I have time, I enjoy decorating it. It fills my need to scrapbook since I haven't made time for that in years.

Hi!

I'm a graduate of the UTA APBSN program - I love it!

For labs, you are required to attend campus based programs.

Your courses are online, but your labs must be in a lab setting.

The same goes with your clinical component of the program - your courses (i.e. med surg, pedi, etc.) are online for your textbook portion, but your clinicals are hospital based.

Mine were primarily on weekends, but it depends on the clinical setting and the availability for students.

Hope that helps!

We're labs during the week or in place of a clinical day? Also, were you able to juggle school and work okay?
