    Sand_Dollar posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Should I contest this?

    Sand_Dollar replied to redvelvet20's topic in General Students

    In one of my pre-req classes we are encouraged to point out errors in the text (Algebra!) If we find one and reported it we got extra credit points for it. I found a few - I love EC! It doesn't hurt...

    Sand_Dollar replied to IClaimNursingSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @christiina - Thank you and congratulations on your acceptance! I love blowing people away because they had such low expectations of me! I went back and reread my essay and it sounds just like me, I...

    Sand_Dollar replied to trish79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
