Does anyone know which book we're supposed to take to class on Mon.? (Nur 110 Lab AA) I've been checking the portal daily, and so far the textbook lists haven't been released.

Thanks!

I have called them a few times this week and have not had any luck getting ahold of someone. Let me know if you find out about the books. Time is counting down. I hope im ready.... Ill be taking advantage of any study labs they have.

I think we're ready. Hopefully there will be opportunities for study groups, etc. I work part-time in retail and changed my hours to be off on Mon. & Tues. because of our upcoming clinicals, so either of those days would work for me. If not, at least they offer the free tutoring.:D 4 more days.....

Hi Paul! I called the school, today, and they're going to try to fix the problem with the portal. As far as Mon. goes, (I'm assuming you made it into the Nur 110 Lab AA at 8:30 a.m.) we need to bring the HUGE book (Foundations and Adult Health Nursing). I was told that we don't need to study anything before class, but I intend to look it over a bit. I guess we'll just have to wait until they get the portal fixed to find out about our other classes.

Hey guys! How was your first day? I'm super excited!:anpom:

I do have a question, though. Is the student portal working for either one of you as far as being able to get assignments, etc.? I keep clicking on "My Courses" but everything keeps saying that the instructor hasn't allowed access, yet. Most of the people at my table said they had gotten access to theirs as of yesterday. I'm not sure what's going on.

Well, I hope you both had a great first day! Let me know how it went for you!

Hey Class went good for me, I had the class right after you in west chester. 4 hours is a long time but it went ok. I had fun with the med term paper. I have not been allowed access yet either on my portal. I know the teacher today said we would have an assignment for Wednesday on there. I will call Dave tomorrow and see what he can tell me. if you get through before me let me know. Im just trying to catch up on all the assigned reading now. Good luck,,, cya on wednesday.

Hi Paul! I'm glad you're first day went well!

I called and spoke with Stephanie about the portal situation. I had already found some information under Nur 110 Lec, and she let me know that would be where we would get our assignments for all three parts of the class. (Not Lab A or AA--or whichever one you're in.) You should be able to find everything under "course documents". I had also noticed that my student ID # wasn't under my name, anymore, so I had to get her to look it up for me. Make sure you check to make sure yours is there as you'll need it in order to take tests, etc.

I think I'm going to have to come up with some better study strategies. I'm finding it difficult to keep up with two kids and get all the reading assignments done! (I still haven't made it through the first chapter!)

See ya Wed.!!!

Hello Everyone...Hows everyone feeling about the classes and college in general now? Eager to see updates especially with news of improvement of some of the earlier concerns or otherwise...

Hi, sorry it took me so long to respond. I dont check this site too often any more. I am actually finishing up my first quarter at hondros and have nothing but good experiences so far. The teachers have been good. the classes have been educational. It is extremely expensive compared to some of the other schools in the area but when take into account the fact that they dont have a waiting list I think its worth it. Hope that helps. Feel free to get ahold of me with any other questions you may have.

OK, I don't even know where to start, I started Hondros in OCT "08" super exited about finally doing something for myself. I had spent the last 19 years raising my family. I was a teen mom so things haven't been easy, but I have to say I have some pretty great kids. Now, on to my dilemma. I had to repeat 2 classes, one I failed miserably. I'm not sure my family and I were prepared for the challenge. The other class I failed by 7/10's of a point :bluecry1: I was devastated. I picked myself up, had a meeting with my family, and prayed Hondros would give me another chance. They did :yeah:so I started back in Jan, everything was going much better. I was passing both classes, and then the nightmare began 3/4 of the way through I failed a test in the class that I was working my tail off in to maintain a passing grade :banghead: I was told by the professor how many points I needed to pass his class, so I prayed really hard to get those points. Well needless to say, he was wrong. It was crazy I logged in to CAMS to see my score and oh my gosh I got exactly what he said I needed plus .1 :p so for the next 5 days I believed I passed. I wasn't prepared to see the big fat ugly D as my final grade on Monday. What the heck, are you joking? I called him and he said "yeah....you almost made it, apparently I was wrong about the points, sorry", you talk about wanting to SCREAM, I didn't want to be rude, I was so embarrassed I had already told my family the good news...now what? I'm finished, I needed a 70 and I received a 69.8 how cruel is that? I started obsessing over a few low grades he had given me on some homework's and found some discrepancies, so I am challenging those grades, hopefully they will fix them. He's a nice guy but sometimes he tells you two different things from one day to the next. So anyway I guess I need some help. Should I continue my dream somewhere else if they wont fix my grade, or do I just give up? I'm out so much money already, and for nothing if they kick me out. I don't like to be petty about the grade but it's a matter of survival. :(
