   Stick to the E book packages. You can search for info much easier with e-books. You can also copy and paste info to develop study guides. Some of the info from the tests are from the text and are not covered in the power point lectures. But if you...

   bash75 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Learning

   That is not how the program was advertised, but because it is easier for the staff and so many of the teacher's and the staff have quit (at least at the glendale site) I think they are trying to extend the program to 16 months to cover themselves in ...

   I talked with one of the reps from ATI. He said that the research showed that students do better taking the NCLEX as close to the end of school as possible. The longer you wait, the less successful students are. ATI has a predictor test that will ex...

   During my Peds rotation I talked to some of the San Diego students and they were just as bitter about the program. I understand your dilemma if you want a MSN. Its important to keep in mind an ASN makes as much money as a BSN in a hospital setting.(...

   I just finished the as the 1st cohort in Glendale. The program is awful. If you are planning to apply, I would urge that you reconsider and go somewhere cheaper that is more student oriented. First they boast it as a 14 month program but it isn't. Y...
