   Hi Brenda, I hope you had a good semester! I am just finishing pathophysiology and I have to say I really wish the course would never end! Instead of trying to memorize facts and detailed pathophysiology by itself, each week we write about case stu...

   Hi Brenda, Bio110 was my first biology course in my college career, so I don't have anything to compare it to. Most of the class deals with genetics. There is very little other biology. There are weekly discussion forums and since it is an "idea s...

   Biology for Today is a demanding course with 4 timed tests on about 100 pages of material for each exam. You write one paper and do homework and discussion forums each week. The thing that adds a lot of work is that it is an "Idea Seminar" so you h...

   Hi Brenda, It's hard to compare the two classes. The writing will not be as rigorous as in 402 - you won't be held to strict APA format, although I did use it for some papers. Basically, the class consists of discussion forums, short written assign...

   Hi Brenda, There is no set schedule for taking courses. The only thing you have to remember is that if you need statistics it should be taken early in your course of study so you don't end up with a bottle-neck of courses that you can't take without...

   Mudhen replied to Vishwamitr's topic in Activism

   I am working per diem, and not only do I NOT get paid extra for being per diem, I also have to pay union dues as if I were a full-time employee. So, my wage is mediocre and the union is robbing me blind by making me pay the highest rate. Unbelievab...

   Hi BeehRN, I can't remember exactly how long it took to get an answer, but once I got all of the paperwork completed it seemed like it didn't take long at all. You will have a mini Intro course just to make you familiar with their learning platform,...

   I am having a very good experience at the University of St. Mary online RN to BSN program. The classes are small (about 20 students) and the course work is pertinent. They have a 24/7 help line for almost any kind of help you might need. The resea...

    Hi everyone, I spoke to someone at the American Association of Colleges of Nursing today (202-463-6930). They are the certifying body that give out the CCNE accreditation to nursing schools. I am told that CCNE is superior to NLN accreditation. An...
