    Sand_Dollar replied to Central 268's topic in General Nursing

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

  8. For Those Who Sell Their Books Back to the Bookstore

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

    I have sold on eBay before, just not books. Its really easy. You could either list it for auction or buy it now. Remember though, ebay has fees and they aren't that low. I have thought about selling...

  9. How I Achieved A 4.0 On All Of My RN Prerequisites

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

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

    The University that I am going to be applying to has one specifically for their school. They even had some of the classes I had taken 20 years ago from a University in Canada. You might want to check...

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

    I bought a book called Effective Study Skills by Simones. The techniques he explains are very much like yours; the Cornell Method, not reading everything in a text and color coding. There are 4 steps...

    Sand_Dollar replied to heynow1313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you considered doing your pre-req's online? You do of course have the out of state fees but it may be worth it to you. I live fairly close to our CC and I chose wholly online, labs and...

  16. ccconline

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

    I live in CO and PCC is local to me for right now (normally I would be with FRCC), and the biggest thing is... they allow me to make installments with my tuition, so I don't need to save up to take...

  24. Online Classes...

    Sand_Dollar replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a firm online class believer. And its true, just because a test is open book doesn't mean its easy. I had one girl in my bio class ask to put a study group together, since I wasn't near her I told...
