re: HISTORY 2055/2057 Outland

I am a registered nurse at a children's hospital. I only have an associates degree and they are requiring that we have our BSN within the next 2 years to continue to be able to work there. So I am taking courses outside of the RN to BNS program like these two to meet my prerequisite requirements for the program. Thats why I am kinda stressing because I only have so much time to complete all of the prerequisite requirements. I chose to take the LSU distance online learning courses in history 2057 and 2055 to meet 2 of the humanities courses I have to complete because I can finish them in 7 weeks. However, I have never taken a class where I had no feedback from the instructor or anyone else and no idea what to expect on the exams! lol

Damn 2 years? I feel your pain. I'm a diploma nurse and we have to get our BSN before 2020. Good luck....I'm just waiting for my name to pop up on the tuition reimbursement list and I will be back to school as well. Sucks doesn't it?
What state you work in?

Do you work in a neuro department?

How long you been a nurse?

Whenever I go back I'm going though Grand Canyon University online. 18 month program all online and any pre reqs I need is built into the program (I already know I will have to take statistics).
Going with them cause my work offers direct reimbursement and I get a discount from the school.

Hi- anyone have any advice or tips for passing these about these classes? Thank you :)
You are in college. Start writing in complete, correctly punctuated sentences for starters.

Sorry about the broken sentence :)
I work in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit. We operate on kids and some adults that have seizures to better their quality of life. I am doing the RN to BSN at UT Martin. It is a lot of prerequisites, but only a few core nursing classes and no clinical :)

Operate by inserting a VNS? Or is there other epilepsy surgical treatment?

I have been a nurse for 8 years :)

Like I said before... If you have any kind of decent memory or basic working knowledge of early American history, those courses are easy. They are basic survey courses that everyone has to take as part of the core curriculum.

Awesome classes, probably my favorite electives, goto class and take notes and you will be fine, lectures are really interesting

Most of the people that come to our unit already have things like VNS's that failed or helped at first but their seizures are worse. We map their brain with diagnostic procedures such as WADA's, TMS, Ictal and Inter-ictal SPECTS, etc. We map their brain to avoid the motor strip so that when we operate, we don't affect language, vision, or hearing. Then we put in "Grids." These are in-depth EEG electrodes surgically implanted directly on the brain to record seizure activity. We take the patient off all meds, give them benadryl and ultram, sleep deprive them, hyperventilate them, etc, to make them have a seizure so we can see what area of the brain the activity is coming from. Then, we remove the EEG leads from the brain and take out the area of the brain that seizes. Most surgical candidates are successful and have a better quality of life without multiple meds. Its pretty amazing! Other's we do lobectomy, craniotomy, and corpus callosotomy on to help better their quality of life.

Don't you hate this whole "oh you have to have a BSN now"? Knowing damn well they only care about you having it because it will help them get/maintain magnet status. We were good enough for them without one for how many years?
We have older nurses here that will just retire early than get their BSN by 2020.
Just a bunch of hospital administrator bs.

I TA'ed for Rob Outland in 2001. The tests always had at least 2 short answer questions straight from the readings. Also, if someone went to him and begged, he would usually bump them up a letter grade.
A lot of ahletes and greeks were in his classes, which tells you how hard he was.

Those are mine and my co-workers feelings as well. Our hospital just applied for magnet...so here we are. lol
I just wish I didn't have to take all these prerequisites :(

Wow. I have never heard of that. Pretty interesting

He sounds like a really nice man. I only have the lessons he assigned, since it is a distance learning course that I am taking, but it sounds like he is a great instructor in class :)
