Rio Salado pre-Nursing classes

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Hi,

I was hoping that anybody who took their pre-nursing classes via online Rio Salado could share their opinions on how they liked the classes. I am taking BIO156 and PSY101 right now through RIO and the BIO156 is a KILLER. Is this the toughest class to take online? Are there others that are worse online or just as bad? If there are please let me know and I'll take them in a class room.:sniff:

I am taking PSY 230 online at Rio now, is anyone else still taking it? Give me some advice? Also I just finished FON241, that class was fairly easy. Just have to remember what essay's she asked you to write about because they will be on the mid and final. If you would like I can help you on that class.

I am scheduled to take PSY 230 in a few weeks. What are you having difficulties with? I would ask who your instructor is, but I don't think you can PM now. The PP were talking about PSY 240, which is a different class. Good luck in this class!

I think you need 20 posts in order to be able to send PM's unless you have a membership with allnurses. But once you do, just check out your account and when you want to contact someone, under their profile click contact and then select send a PM.

Does the instructor make him/herself available? Are the instructions not clear? I wish I could help, but I haven't taken it yet...

How about the tutoring? I have heard that the RIO tutoring is actually fairly decent. Good luck!

I found that if I looked at one of the example problems in the book and plugged in the numbers I had then I could figure out the answers. My advice would be get some help ASAP. Each week builds on the week before and you have to be spot on for each step in order for the calculations to work. If you have any specific questions PM me, I finished the class in May with an A through Rio. Good Luck:wink2:

OMG I would love to have an A in this class. I do not have PM yet... Still learning how to do this whole online board posting thing... My main thing is the raw and z score.
