  3. Digital Recorder

    Dabuggy replied to checkmate's topic in General Students

    I use a recorder, and take notes also. It has helped a lot of students in my class. They place the recorder on the instructors desk and this eliminates a lot of background noise. I drive between 8-10...

    Dabuggy replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Didn't get in at U of M. Need advice.

    Dabuggy replied to thyme39's topic in Michigan Nursing
