1. Violence & Bully Presentation Ideas

   esigler81 replied to nazzyrocks's topic in Student Assist

   I had a class presentation to do last semester, and my group made it like the Today show. Each section we were talking about was a segment. Our class really loved it, and it was a lot more interesting than listening to an hour long PowerPoint.

   I know you are super nervous! They pile all this info on you at once, and you are so overwhelmed. I was you in August. I start my second semester on Jan. 14. Take a deep breath; everything will be ok. The biggest piece of advice that I can give ...

6. Class Times

   I'm a planner as well. I think that's why it caught me off guard. I had been planning all summer on having Thursdays off, and now my planning is all messed up. I have two kids, you would think that I would have learned that lesson already. :)

7. Class Times

   esigler81 replied to esigler81's topic in General Students

   That's how ours was as well, but our clinical and lab times were included in the 4 day schedule. The extra day is a test day. I just assumed we would be taking our tests during class times. I guess not! :)

10. Im scared out of my mind for Anatomy

    esigler81 replied to NurseLizzy13's topic in Pre-Nursing
