2. Backpack that can hold 6+ books?

   noviciate replied to shann106's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I think it will depend on how large the textbooks are and if you're carrying a laptop as well. I use this version by ebags and it is indestructible and comes with a lifetime warranty. There are numerous pockets and it converts to a backpack when nece...

3. New and Need help with my schedule

   noviciate replied to sarah_elizabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would hold off on the biology, one semester won't kill you. Focus on your writing and math skills, as both are necessary for the courses you'll need to take. Dependent on the instructor, biology can be a cakewalk or a pain in the butt. Given the fa...

   noviciate replied to sarah_elizabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you're taking a full load both semesters, when do you plan to study for your GED? Unless your writing skills are extremely well, you may want to hold off on any course that will require papers and such until you have taken your introductory compos...

   This has been the night from hell. I incurred website problems during my medical terminology exam. Ten of my answers failed to register. The answer sheet started blanking out. I am so frustrated. I don't know if my instructor will permit me to retak...

   LOL! I haven't tried that yet. Is anyone else losing weight? I'm down nearly 15 pounds since school began.

7. Health insurance during nursing school

   noviciate replied to badgerstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you used this service before? It would appear that they disclose that the information would be shared with the insurance companies listed. I'm assuming that most people seeking a quote are considering a purchase. The purpose of posting the websi...

   noviciate replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You're not alone. My house leaves much to be desired and I have reconciled myself to the fact that cleaning won't happen for a couple of weeks. I researched a cleaning service and will be trying them out. With a busy schedule spanning seven days per ...

    noviciate replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This has been the week from hell. I've had a bronchial infection that won't quit and searing pain that may be stemming from my occipital nerve. These things are coupled by the fact that a computer glitch and a mistake on the registrar's part inadvert...

11. PCCTI LPN School?

    noviciate replied to allycat4's topic in Illinois

    I sincerely believe they bit off more than they can chew. I attend Oakton at present and they are far more organized and professional. This school is very loosely run and the conversation is likened to what you would have in the company of close frie...

12. PCCTI LPN School?

    noviciate replied to allycat4's topic in Illinois

    My experience was at the downtown location. I can't speak for the others. Several people students were in the office while I was there. I do recall a fee of $25.00 if the test (HESI I believe) is not passed. I think they allow you several opportuniti...

13. PCCTI LPN School?

    noviciate replied to allycat4's topic in Illinois

    Interesting comments. I visited the school a month ago and sat for nearly twenty minutes while idle chatter occurred and phones were answered. I was never assisted. It left a very strange taste in my mouth and the impression I had was that things we...

    We're currently on chapter 3. We began last Monday. My professor is very easy going and we will not cover the full text. His lectures provide the material that we'll have on our exams. We presently have four exams scheduled, three 500 word journal ar...

    i think studying and class attendance is a given, but it is impossible to know what to expect unless you've spoken to the professor. my summer classes are not intense, or at least don't appear to be so. the pace and material covered is largely depen...
