3. Will you still have pre/co-requisites to take while in NS?

   Copperismydog posted a topic in General Students

   Hi everyone, I was wondering how many people who are in nursing school or starting soon will still have some courses to take besides nursing classes? Is it very difficult to take other classes while in nursing?

4. Where should a new CNA start working?

   Copperismydog posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Hey everyone! I'm finishing my CNA course next week and will be looking for a job soon. I'm not sure if I want to work in long term care, home care or a hospital. I start RN school in September and want to find a job that will allow me to work part...

5. Working as an RN in Ontario, Canada?

   Copperismydog posted a topic in International

   Hi Everyone, I'm a Canadian citizen but am now living in the US as a permanent resident and am about to start a 2 year associate degree RN program in the fall. I will probably work as an RN in the US when I'm finished school, but I want to leave the...

6. Should I get a summer job before I start NS in the fall?

   Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I might look for a nursing assistant job after doing the CNA program in July. I'll only have a month to work before school starts, but I suppose I could work during school if it was just part time. It seems...

7. Should I get a summer job before I start NS in the fall?

   Copperismydog posted a topic in General Students

   Hi Everyone! I was accepted to an ASN program at my local community college for the fall and am so thrilled!! I've been doing pre-requisites all year and they are just ending now. My husband has a good job and can easily support us both, so I'm not ...

8. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

   Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So my teacher ended up deciding to give the exam as a take home after all. However, now she is only giving us 2 days to write the exam instead of 13. She admitted that she wasn't thinking clearly before and that 13 days for a take home exam is ridi...

9. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

   Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yep, I know that my science background is making the class easier than it would be without it. However, I think the class is still pretty easy for most people to do well in. We get to drop our lowest exam grade, and there's an extra 18 points avail...

10. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I haven't found the class to be all that hard. I do put in effort, but the work isn't terribly overwhelming. I felt that a take home multiple choice exam would be ridiculously easy and wouldn't be fair to students who are expecting more from this c...

11. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing

    At my school grades ARE all that admissions looks at. And this is the only school I'm applying to. That's why I feel it's so important that the tests are an accurate reflection of each student's efforts and abilities. I don't want to bring other pe...

12. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well the school I'm attending is the community college where I plan to apply for nursing. So at least most of the students applying for nursing will have taken the pre-requisites at the same school. I don't know if the whole school is "easy". My f...

13. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing

    THANK you!! So nice to hear that someone agrees with me. I don't want to be that obnoxious student that has to do better than everyone else, but when more than half the class is going to end up getting an A just because of how easy it is, it's a lit...

14. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well the averages on the last 3 exams have been a low B. But my professor gives extra credit essays that bring everyone's score up by 6 points. So it is already very easy to get an A. I'm a little worried that if everyone does amazingly on the tak...

    Copperismydog posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Today in my A&P1 class the students managed to convince our professor that our last exam of the semester should be a take home exam! My professor said that she wont change the format, so it will still be multiple choice and true/false questions. ...
