2. Monroe County Community College- RT or Nursing students?

   bethg5 replied to marcieg's topic in Michigan

   Daytonite, This is how I learned to set up the problems and boy did it make it so much easier! I have always breezed through these math problems while others sat there looking at me. My chemistry instructor tried teaching the class to use this syst...

9. No Pre reqs?

   bethg5 replied to xomandalized's topic in General Students

   From reading your post I think you have answered your question yourself. The other students didn't either score high enough on state tests, didn't have high enough high school grades in required courses, or graduated from high school many years ago a...

    bethg5 replied to Yanet22787's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I got accepted for this fall with a 4.0 I think the lowest you could have had was a 3.8, except our school is based on a point system so if someone did extremely well on the ACT then they could have a slightly lower GPA.

    bethg5 replied to anonymouse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think it is completely common to feel the way you are feeling. I am a mother of 3. I have a 12 yr old, 6 yr old and 3 yr old and I constantly wonder if I am doing the right thing. My husband is very supportive, but he works a lot of hours. I st...
