    gator dog replied to hollyberryh20's topic in Online Distance Learning

    To what degree if any would ISU accept an EC transfer? This is seems to be rapidly accelerating into "lame" territory. 16 states now have some form of stipulating issue with EC--and now TX? Is EC just...

    gator dog replied to gator dog's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks Lunah, Akanini--Lisa, I was considering testing for PA (I love downtown Philly), or NJ (south), but I doubt my girlfriend would go for it. My son lives in FL (Vero area),so I really want to...

  10. It shut off at 75! :)

    gator dog replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A shut down at 75 means you passed. The test software is presumptive: it figures if you pass the 1st 75, you'll continue passing all the rest, so it's academic to continue--congratulations

  11. Is the college network really good

    gator dog replied to aisha19126's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Nope, I used Flashcard Exchange extensively, Tina Logan's notes from Rue.edu and the EC practice exams (the ones you need to buy). I believe the EC materials alone are woefully inadequate. I've never...

  16. Why get a BSN?

    gator dog replied to vampireslayer's topic in Emergency

    I get so tired of hearing this. Because many Nsg Prgms have become impacted and competitive, the entry pre-reqs have followed the same curve. The ADN I was in required 34 units of college level...

  17. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    gator dog replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Can we just get over the straight vs gay thing? I'm straight and have gay friends at work and outside the hospital. The more we postulate on stereo-types, the more we perpetuate them--esp as guys in...
