   jns1220 replied to kbk1985's topic in North Carolina

   Get into a study routine and stick with it!! It is hard because of the mini-sessions you will have a test practically every week, along with clinical and paperwork. It is daunting and can be overwhelming. You have to figure out what works best for...

    Yes, second semester is very intense. We have had the most fail outs/ dropouts this semester. With a test every week on 5-6 chapters (tremendous amt of reading), clinical day, and paperwork ... it is very difficult to do it all in 7 days. I know...

    They also don't offer the two 6hr shift options for second semester. They still might offer it for first semester though.

    Jaimeandjules... Yes you are right. For the summer semester there are no loans. I had to borrow enough for the spring to cover the summer semester too.
