Kim have you heard anything?

nursekimmie72 · Jul 26, 2014

Not yet have you?

No thank goodness it's not just me! The program starts 2 weeks from Monday so I'm feeling frustrated!

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!

Bees,

can you give me a heads up on how you're liking it so far? Which classes did you start with? I'm nervous about advanced patho so anything you can advise me on would be appreciated!

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 second class. Mine is 5301 Nursing Research, but yours may be different. I have a friend whose second course was patho. I haven't talked to her in a couple weeks so not sure how it's going. As far as 5301, it's not too bad. You do a critical appraisal of an article the instructor selects. They divide the appraisal into two papers for you to write. I don't understand the grading. The first paper I wrote was excellent in my opinion. "A" work. I got a B and only just barely, it was almost a C. My second paper, well, I was strapped for time and only just finished it in time. Didn't have much of a chance to proof and revise it. After I turned it in, I found grammatical errors and APA errors that I should have caught. Well, I got an "A". I feel like it should have been a B or a C to be honest. The final project is an evidence-based project (another paper). I selected a policy in my facility for review, found some research articles that show evidence-based practices that could be implemented, and revised the policy using those evidence-based practices I found support for. It seemed pretty easy to me and I finished it way early. Maybe I should bite my tongue but I think I'm going ot get a good grade on it. Also there's a statistics exam that you have to take on a specific date (next Saturday for us). The teacher hasn't given any example problems and I'm somewhat worried about it. It's 20% of the grade.

It's easy to get behind. I'm doing one class at a time and working full-time. I don't see how anyone can keep up with two classes and work full-time, but obviously people are doing it. They must have better time management skills than me.

I'm getting really frustrated. I've sent a few emails with no response yet. I've either got to start school or get back to work full time. Anyone heard anything yet? I'm beginning to assume I didn't get in

I haven't heard anything either

Steffi, I just realized you were applying to the online. I applied to the Brick and Mortar program. It may be completely different. We had a deadline of June 15th. There was 350+ people for 120 spots. Online may be a completely different thing.
