UTA online RN-BSN Spring 2014: Technical Writing

Nursing Students Texas (UTA)

Published

Hello everyone,

Congrats to all those accepted to UTA online RN-BSN program and other students as well. I am really forward to this program. My first course will be Technical Writing. I am inviting all you "Technical Writers" to join in these 5 weeks journey to share ideas and resources to help pass the class. Also, has anyone finished this program in less then a year. Pls, let me hear from you and how you went about it. What are the best classes to double up. Right now, I am just testing the waters with Technical Writing.

Hi Rnchaverii1,

The Art class is quite easy. You are not tested on your drawing skills, it is just appreciating art that's all. You are required to take a picture of a statue or a monument at your local museum or where ever you can find one, then you comment on it. The quizzes are from the text book, there are no tricks or confusion. It's pretty easy, in fact I took it with another class. Good luck.

Hi RNChaveri1,

I have not been up here in a while but Legacy of the family is an easy A class. How is HIST 1312 going because I need to take that class and from reviews the HIST 1311 is hard and intense I was thinking about taking it somewhere else. Have you are anyone taken American Lit online?

I have to take History 1311 and 1312 but thinking about taking them somewhere else, I need American Literature, research can someone tell me what to expect is it a tough class?

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.

Hey I was hoping for some advice…I am starting a new grad program in February and moving then as well. I am also enrolled in UTA for the Spring 2015. I was thinking of taking both technical writing (Jan. 12-Feb. 13) and professional nursing (Jan. 12-March. 27). Just wondering how difficult it is to take these classes together. Is it doable? And it anyone else took these 2 classes while working, how was it? How much study time am I looking at per week for both? I don't want to over-fill my plate but at the same time I would like to take 2 classes if possible. Thanks!
