    Typical drop/fail rates for RN programs?

    Jennerizer replied to jjbaby's topic in General Students

    Jennerizer replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Students

    Definitely tell us how it went. I don't start clinicals until March 12. At my school, they teach us all of the skills first.....then send us out into clinicals. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do

    How to choose the BEST answer?

    Jennerizer replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Students

    I can't believe that she doesn't explain why the correct answer is the best choice out of the four. My instructor reviews the exam as soon as we are done taking the test. She goes over each &...

    Jennerizer replied to 2amigos's topic in General Students

    A&P2- what section first?

    Jennerizer replied to 2amigos's topic in General Students

    Oh.........also start looking over the sympathetic & parasympathetic reactions on the nervous system. Those were a little confusing for me at first.

    A&P2- what section first?

    Jennerizer replied to 2amigos's topic in General Students

    With AP II it takes more than memorization. You really do need to have an understanding of how each system works. With my class......we started with the Autonomic Nervous System. If I were you, I...
