I was just thinking about you, Spill, and wondering what was going on -- I'm glad you got back in! Since I moved to be closer to ECC so I can ride the train, being switched to NL now is a bummer. I...
Whew, I just finished playing Santa for my nephews and now I'm off to get what sleep I can before it's time to open everything up :) Merry Christmas and Happy

Is that test bank thing new, or only at a certain campus? I took both of my A&Ps at the NE campus, and there wasn't any testing out of a national test bank or anything like that. I had Carmichael...

Hey everyone! Wow, we have a great mix of people. This was a good idea :) I grew up in the Houston area, and moved to the DFW metroplex over 10 years ago. If all goes well, I'll graduate Dec 08...
Hey Fun -- Did they tell you they would post them today; was it posted today? Mine isn't posted yet, but should be posted today. I'm just trying to figure out if they're on schedule before I decide...
I barely had to do case studies, but they weren't so bad. I'm already done with them. I just wish they were more organized. They told us to be there at 8a, the test didn't start until 9:10a. I was...
Oh, like I needed more fear put into me! I hardly made it through this semester, and Yang has already threatened me within an inch of my life if I don't make

If you are comfortable using a computer, the eBooks make the box worth it, in my opinion. Those books are HUGE and there are so many of them. Hauling them around gets really old. I think I need to...

Congrats! As for the test questions, sometimes it's hard to know what's vague or ambiguous when you already know the answer. I'm glad they're willing to look at them. Where do you see clinical...
You are right, but what are the chances I'll pass? LOL I usually expect the worst -- that way I'm either prepared or pleasantly surprised Are you taking it in the BHO lab? I'll keep my eyes
Yep, ours was scheduled to start at 1p, but now it's 8a until noon. Then we have to hang around to find out about case studies ... Maybe we could all do

The whole line in the grade section for the 2nd semester final is missing, too. Oddly enough, my average seems to have my final grade in it, not just the previous 4 tests. Strange! Who knows. All I...
I made it through by the skin of my teeth. Thank goodness! C = continue, right?! I'm so not looking forward to the HESI on Friday. I could really use a

Congrats on being accepted! As for working and school: I'm in the El Centro program and I work about 50 hours a week as a computer geek. Granted, my grades are suffering a bit, but I'm paying my...

Hey Jeremy, What Billie said is right -- they've been accepting people with lower GPAs, so if you have a 4.0, you *should* be OK. If you are taking classes in the Spring, are you planning to go for...

On the way in to Parkland one morning, Yang and I ran into a 4th semester ECC student. Things weren't going so well for her class. It was a bit disheartening. Did you start with 10 people in your...
It wasn't that bad before. I think it's just a mess because they are trying to get so many of the classes in so everyone who wants to apply can. But, I did feel for the people who were trying to find...
