Do you know what it is like to take a timed test? It's not easy, but then again it's not supposed to be.

I've never had open book tests for the science or nursing courses I've had to take. Maybe liberal arts courses and stuff outside of the nursing program, but never in nursing.

I have taken many timed tests. It would be a hellava lot easier if I could bring in notes. You know ... jog the memory for those difficult to remember factoids ....

Ah ... to dream ...

However, I have a real exam to study for. Since they don't allow notes, I need to actually learn the material.

Which means I gotta go, at least 'til I really learn some things.

Check you guys later.

I find it funny how you love patrolling this thread. I am speaking from experience. Are you even a nurse???? Your still in school, so once you pass your boards then try to spread your knowledge. I think having 8 years of nursing experience I can voice my own 2 cents without you crying out how distance learning students trash traditional students. Is this not a Distance Learning Thread? You always miss the point. Again whatever choice someone makes does not mean their choice is wrong. If I could I would go to a traditional school, but since I make 50,000+ per year as a LVN I am not able to quit my job and take care of 2 kids. So again EC is the right choice for me. I wish I could underline the me. I have reviewed the passing rate for CA schools we'll just leave it at that.

When I finished nursing school I was ready. When I say ready I was a charge nurse at 20 years old, then a Nursing Supervisor at 21 years old. I think some people have it. I made sure I got all the experience I needed. I was a CNA then I went through the traditional LVN program. Was I scared when I finished school, no, because I had confidence because of the nursing program I went through. I had caring instructors and a wonderful Director. It was a small of class of 15 so we were able to have that individual training when we needed it.

When I post here I do not try to talk down to anyone, but Lizz it seems your always trying to win a battle. I am pretty sure the school you go to for every good thing is said about it you can find a person to say the opposite. I wish you the best once you get your feet wet. As to the thread that I first responded to I was no way trying to degrade your choice of program, I voiced my opinion just like you did. Thank you for your opinion.
