  1. 1st semester book costs

    jennafezz replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    jennafezz replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    jennafezz posted a topic in General Students

  8. Have you bought any nursing textbooks online?

    jennafezz replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    jennafezz replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Students

  14. Cal State East Bay acceptance letters for Fall 2010??

    jennafezz replied to lakaha's topic in California Nursing

    Call them! Provisional admission is a good sign, that means you're most likely fine. The phone lines might have a long hold time, but wait it out and be persistent until they can answer your...

    jennafezz replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

    jennafezz replied to sik0123's topic in General Students

    jennafezz replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    Do you know exactly how many hours go into each of these classes? For-profit schools often don't have the same schedule times as normal colleges. Their two classes of pharmacology could be the same...

  22. Just Visited a NS: Impressions?

    jennafezz replied to European's topic in General Students
