   tmccstu2018 replied to Ceelangatpharm's topic in General Students

   I started off my pharm class by using flash cards and strictly trying to memorize. I really knew the material but I ended up bombing my first exam because I didn't know how to apply the information....

   tmccstu2018 replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

   I worked at the financial aid department at my school for about 2 years. Are you sure there is a deadline to turn it in? I highly recommend talking with the department at your school because they're...

   All programs are different.. but there's a really good chance you're going to need a laptop/computer for a portion of work. With my program, I need it to do clinical paperwork with our specific...

6. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

   tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

   Yeah I agree. I am not willing to spend another $500+ on a windows laptop that slows down within 6 months. The one I have now is ridiculous and its specifically from using my nursing school

7. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

   tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

10. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

    tmccstu2018 posted a topic in General Students

    I've had a Lenovo PC for about 3 years now and I don't think it's going to last much longer. It has significantly slowed down and takes 30 minutes to start up. I've been looking into Macs and I wanted...

11. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    I can definitely relate- my binders for my pre-nursing classes were reams full. I have to have every powerpoint printed out in order. So I'm seeing where annotating electronically will take me. If I...

    tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the feedback! Is studying from it just as effective as a notebook or is it distracting? My only fear is that it'll for some reason make me less susceptible to the information. I know it...

    tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    Yeah it seems like it will be super great to take notes with. I just got myself a keyboard for it as well. I think it'll keep me so organized and productive. I don't know how the ebooks are yet so I...
