  1. Here is a crazy question

    mommy2three2 replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have two bags. I have a really good Jansport Backpack which I love. I also have a shoulder tote which I use. It depends on my mood and how much junk I need to bring to class that particular day....

  2. Is Kaplan overrated?

    mommy2three2 replied to lsvalliant's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did not use Kaplan for th NCLEX but rather another test I have taken and I was very unimpressed with the whole shebang. Overall, my scores did not rise after taken Kaplan but in one section (and I...

  4. Good rolling backpacks?

    mommy2three2 replied to txgrlnad's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have seen most of these in person through various people I have met and by far the most spacious ones I have seen are made by CalPack. The guy I saw had numerous 5" binders in that baby plus his...

  5. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    mommy2three2 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Confused about state residency...

    mommy2three2 replied to livewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if you want to file for independence, I would call the schools you are thinking of applying to and ask Financial Aid how it would possibly affect your residency status. I would think if you...

  9. Confused about state residency...

    mommy2three2 replied to livewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. I Got the Minimester A&P II Blues

    mommy2three2 replied to Absolutely13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not that you have any extra time, but if you can get your hand on a BRS Phys book I would highly recommend it as it is pathophys based. I also really liked Vander's Renal which is a short book just...

    mommy2three2 replied to DreamyEyes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. academic forgiveness/renewal without retaking classes?

    mommy2three2 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students
