2. 5 week classes

   Counselort replied to CASM's topic in General Students

   I did both A&P in 8 week sections. Plan to spend more time than you think you will. Get the books and software ahead if you can and "play" with the learning or "lab" parts. Good luck.

   Counselort replied to closer2mydreams's topic in General Students

   Helping you learn is what you pay tuition and teachers for -- so long as you are doing your part (going to class, reading, taking notes, etc). Most are very willing to help if they know you are sincerely trying. If they won't respond talk to you...

   Counselort replied to pitterpattershoppe's topic in Online Learning

   With EduKan A&P I & II and Micro you do have to take at least one proctored exam, but you can arrange it with most universities or even public libraries (free). If you know where you'll be when, it's still do-able.

6. Questions Regarding the HESI

   Counselort replied to roxy1986's topic in General Students

   It's my understanding the HESI is customized for each school and each situation. I'm not sure if that's true of the one you are taking but could make it hard to get a clear answer on what to study. My one piece of advice would be to try hard to exc...

   Counselort replied to emarble's topic in Post Graduate

   i finished 2 pre-reqs the summer I applied and got in. I agree with Nate that they are looking for diversity; not just in race, but in experiences, backgrounds -- anything that would make you different than a "traditional student" whatever that is. ...

8. Teaching to NCLEX NOT teaching nursing

   Counselort posted a topic in General Students

   I am in a highly-rated national BSN program, and in my first semester have been dismayed at how much of the coursework and assessment is simply to prepare us for the NCLEX. The notion that the NCLEX "measures" is a fiction. It contains nothing rela...

    Counselort replied to DuluthMike's topic in Tennessee

    Unless you plan to go part-time, don't plan to work; when they say accelerated, they mean it. They usually post a housing group for newcomers who are accepted. No graduate housing available, you're on your own. good luck.

    Counselort posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    Starting first floor work in a few weeks, and am guessing these might help ease into being on my feet so much. However, I've heard: 1. knee-highs popular but cut off blood supply 2. thigh highs fall down 3. full hose are too hot. Anything new ...
