   Well hmmm. Could be a problem. But then, you'll never know if you give up now. You've picked your profession and you feel strongly about it. Use that in the next classes to do better. Also, identify your weak points in that class, was it test anx...

   this was my intention, although i didn't state it as well as you did. also, the wear-out factor will make a difference with not-good instructors.

3. Denied from nursing schools

   freximus replied to buckeye47's topic in Pre-Nursing

10. Not Grading Fairly?

    freximus replied to Screen name's topic in Male Students

    This is a passive aggressive tactic I heard once, and it's pretty clever if you think about it. 1st. Prepare your case. Have on-hand several papers that have received A grades with you for evidence. Also, bring a couple of extra copies of your pap...

    In 2012 (which probably means Fall semester of 2012) Arizona State is going to start their accelerated BSN Program. Either 16 months straight through or 2 full school years, I'm not sure which. You need to make sure that you have the prerequisite ...
