Try to play nice guys. You might wind up being in the same class together lol. Trust me you don't want to start off on the wrong foot with people you'll be spending 2 years with.

Your right! I'm low tolerance for things like that! When I commented I was trying to be mean by saying its a point system which it is! They admit based on points! True enough the points change every year depending on the average! My friend is in your class this year! Good luck on the final and the hesi!!

Jasel, you said you recorded the lectures, what did you use? i was thinking about using my tablet but its kind of big?

Ya you'll probably want something more convienent that you can take around with you or keep in your pocket.

This is what I use. I got it for like $65 at a Best Buy. It's expensive but has been worth it. Easy to use, I can upload the files to my computer and put them on my ipod or just listen directly off the machine. Has like 30 - 35 hours of recording space with 5 seperate folders (I usually put discussion recordings in Folder A and my lectures in Folder B)

I live in merrillville Indiana, I just moved here 2 months ago from the city. You are right, I thought about that last night, I'm further from the school than you and pinky. To dcw, I'm shocked an instructor would tell you that, that's a decision you will have to make. If you've come this far, why not stick around and go got it!?

I was wondering where in merrillville do you live? If you don't mind telling! My mom lives behind meyers on rte 30 I practically live out here!

How's the clarity? I was wondering about this too!

Jasel, BSN, RN · May 10, 2012

We started Jan 5 '09 and finished Jan 8 '10

The clarity is good. You have different settings you can choose. For the discussion and lectures I set it to "Conference" which works fine.

I live 5 minutes from Meyers, we have to meet at registration. It's a great town. I lived in the hundreds for years and it is so much more peaceful, no gun shots waking me up in the middle of the night, lol.
