Dublin, count me in as a squeaker. I'm an older student. Had to take a Chemistry course just to understand the textbook for MicroBiology and Physiology. I am definitely not a super achiever. I struggle long and hard for every ounce I learn. I'm at t...
I've heard a few others mention her books here. So yesterday I went to a book store and asked if I could order some of her books. The clerk did checked the computer (or pretended to) and said there was no author listed or books by someone named "Echo...
I was reading through the Excelsior student site---you weed through a lot of talk and questions. But someone else mentioned using the Cliff Notes for A & P. That they had used them and aced the test. So I recently bought the Cliff Notes and I...
I plan to go straight to work with my ADN, I need the money. Then I'll work part-time on the BSN. Everything I've heard, the pay is not that much different. And I assume the experiences will help me in BSN classes. But mainly, I need the money after...
