   My program give me a partial syllabus so I knew exactly what I needed to read. Without a syllabus, you can't begin reading. The chapters are not in the order you will learn or need to read them. So I suggest, relax and enjoy your kids because once yo...

8. Do Not Underestimate the Difficulty Level of Nursing School

   Mina E. replied to tenjuna's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You might want to talk to current nursing students if you don't believe that its "TOUGH" and I mean really tough. On a bad day, I study 6hrs. On a really good day, I study 8-10hrs.

10. Labtop or ipad for nursing school?

    Mina E. replied to cnoto34's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Mina E. replied to cnoto34's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Before starting the ADN program, I was thinking about investing in an Ipad since I already had a laptop. I am already in my 2nd semester and have yet to buy that Ipad. I haven't had a use for it. Having a laptop is probably the best investment, well ...

14. LVN to RN in Southern California

    Mina E. replied to Andy.Cap's topic in LPN-RN

    Chaffey is in Rancho Cucamonga. You should go to info meetings in areas you would like to attend school because it is the only way you will find out how the programs work. At my school, we only attend clinicals once a week for 12hrs a day and lecture...
