  1. When should I apply??

    Sand_Dollar replied to student8520's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on the school you will be applying to. The university I am applying to has two lists..an advanced placement for those who have completed their pre-reqs and the other for those who...

  2. How can I change my study habits?

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

    First off let me say you won't get many responses on any board with catty remarks like that. You need to remember that you posted this in the middle of a weekday and barely gave an hour for responses,...

  3. Pre-req question

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

    It will cost more, but perhaps you can take classes online. There are many accredited schools around (I'm doing mine through ccconline). I'm really sorry about the problems CA is having, that sucks...

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

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

  9. Microbiology online

    Sand_Dollar replied to fsv1024's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. A & P online or in the classroom???

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

    I took it online and just finished AP2 the same way (other classes too). It is a lot of work online, but I figure its the same way in regular classes. I didn't have memorization to do, but 18 page lab...

    When I was younger I could never get up and had a summer job that required me being up at 6 am, ugh! I got myself the most obnoxious alarm clock I could find. I set it up across the room and set it on...
