   collegebound replied to Pixiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I am a binder girl myself. I have a hard time with notebooks as the spirals get in the way when I am trying to write (when I get to that side!). Plus, like others, most of my notes have been given...

4. very discourage, what should i do at this point?

   collegebound replied to jbdang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

7. Study Guide for the NET

   collegebound replied to spb1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I agree with Jezziemis. It is best to do some run-through practice tests. Everyone at my school that has taken the NET had far more trouble with the reading than the math. The math that was on ours...
