    I just read the books and rolled. But that’s me. the labs were quick. I did the dissection of the pig all in one day. Took a few more days to fill out my documents and edit my photos for...

    I honestly don’t remember but I’m pretty sure it was 80% tests 80% overall like all nursing classes. I didn’t find that class to be too terrible. Pay a LOT of attention in pathophysiology....

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah. But some Professors take artistic liberties with that 80%. Excluding the lowest score, or including quizzes. There is some buffer on some of the classes. Then again, some of them it’s two...

    Guest1142305 replied to maria2lio's topic in General Students

    The final is proctored. I don’t know about the rest, I actually read the books. And if you try to skip through it and take the easy way out, an accelerated nursing program will chew you up and spit...

    Don’t count on anything they told you holding. They lie and break promises left and right. Most recently they made the decision to assign block scheduling and remove any control over our schedules....

    A&P and Microbio will make Pathophysiology much easier which is the single most important class IMO. I was incredibly well prepared. But I read all books cover to

    Indeed. She turns 1 year old soon. And another due in November! 18 credits in 14 weeks was brutal. Thankfully next semester is 3 of 5 and it completes the bachelor portion of the program. That...

    Guest1142305 replied to maria2lio's topic in General Students

    I will have to keep that in mind. So far it is going well, but it’s really brutal the pace. At least with a large family. And the Covid stuff threw the whole program into

    We were told the plan is to return to in person classes for Fall semester. I prefer self taught so I’m dreading it. To me sitting in a lecture is a waste of my time, effort, and
