It’s a Wisconsin thing.

I’m glad I could help. They may have switched textbooks since my time, but the content is the same. Chemistry hasn’t changed.
My first semester had been great! I hope for you
With straighterline the didactic portion is 70% open book tests that are quite difficult. 30% of your grade is a closed book proctored final with a real person. The labs are not proctored and are open...
Well, let’s agree on the elephant in the room. It’s a cash cow for the school and if they pull off producing decent nurses from it, it will help ensure the physical campus maintains the mission of...
Straighterline is incredibly rigorous and thorough. A&P 1 & 2 include physical labs and cover the entirety of Seeley’s Anatomy. Microbio, when I took it, went through Pearson’s...
I wouldn’t be too quick to knock online-only institutions, especially for prerequisite coursework. An institution con and should implement screening tests to verify acquisition of knowledge if there...
I’m sure your cohort got a raw deal coming in at the influx of Covid madness. But realize that sharing your latent negativity might not be giving a fair shake to the university; you’re seeing...
Organize your cohort. My cohort uses GroupMe and zoom to coordinate studying, note taking, and share assignment guidance from Professors so we don’t reinvent the wheel emailing 50 times for the same...
Disorganized? Sure a little. Lots of PowerPoint? No different than medical school in that regard. Learning nothing? I call *** there. I’ve been in the program less than 2 months and I can already...
I will be shooting straight over to a pmhnp program the day I graduate, then doing a pmhnp residency once I finish. I’m honestly not that concerned with the clinical hour difference. I learn...
Wow, congrats. With either program you will have a job before you graduate most likely.
‘I lean toward having the BSN as well. Some employers have a preference for that. Veterans affairs...
I can't stress this enough. Watch that video 2x before taking your test. Watch it at double speed if you can handle it to make it take less time. That's what I did, and I did very well on the test. I...
Speed read the book, then watch the video left by the Coopersmith instructor at least 2X. If you handle it, set the playback speed to 2.0. Being forced to follow at a higher rate of speed will cause...
We were already in WI. Oconomowoc school district is excellent if you don’t mind the 40-60 minute drive depending on weather. Waukesha/Brookfield is your next best bet. Much cheaper too. The closer...
Glad to hear you’re in. It’s an incredibly supportive vibe so far. I’m pretty hopeful. Alverno seems to develop very good instructors. They all appear to be Alverno grads or long term
I did. It was horrific. Since then my subsequent exposures have been relatively harmless.
I would consider MERS worse than COVID, adenovirus type 7 in an immunocompromised patient, etc. there are...
I’m a COVID survivor with robust T cell mediated immunity so I’m not too worried. I’ve had multiple exposures to the virus since surviving.
Just my opinion, but honestly, the death rate...
Watch their crash course video at least twice. I personally find watching the videos at 2X speed forces you to focus and recall more.
The book isn’t included. It’s a really good book...
