I would love these notes also, thanks so much

That would be great, also could you pm me the name of your instructor? Thanks again for all your help!!

How much time are you spending on this class per week, and how do you like your instructor?

I am considering taking this class with the lab at Rio Salado this fall to fill my schedule, has anyone taken this? I would like to know what the class consist of and the work load. Any input would be great!! TIA

It will turn around, hand in there, a nursing degree is never a waist.

I heard recently between 27.00 and 29.00/hr but it probably really depends on the hospital.

You must have had a great instructor, who did you have? I took psy101 and had a really hard time barely pulling off an A. My instructor was terrible, RG, she just did not even try and then marked my papers down with no explanation, very frustrating. Good luck with BIO 156 in the fall, I think you will be happier taking it in class, I wish I had.

Anyone still in this class? Final is this week and I am dreading it, there is just so much to remember. Anyone left??

I am just finishing up Bio156 through Rio, it is a lot of work because of the fact that it is online. A lot of reading, research, and writing. I will probably end up with a B in the class, but I really think I could have got an A if I had taken this class in person. But I totally understand where your coming from, with kids and life I just could not take this class in person. I would worn you there are some not so great online instructors through Rio, mine was great, she really put an effort into the class and you can tell she really wants you to get this stuff as it is a basis for everything else. My instructor was JN, pm me if you need her full name. Final and midterm are worth half your grade so that can kind of bring your grade down, and the summer class will be really fast paced, but you can do it, good luck.

Sounds like they are hiring some new grads. "Hospitals across the Valley also are cutting back on hiring nurses straight out of school, preferring more experienced care givers. However, Dickson said he is seeking both. A new program recently developed at Thunderbird allows the nursing staff to accommodate more new graduates. “New grads still need training and supervision before they become independent in running a nursing unit,” he said. “We have hired a lot of new grads recently. We pair them up with an experienced nurse, learning more about what they need to do when they become completely independent.”

I hear ya, I got a D on my last math test, and I have another one Tues. I must must must do better!!! I only have 4 test for a final grade so even if I do well on the next 3 test i will be lucky to pull a C or B-. I really hate math

I did not do as well as I would have liked, I ran out of time during the last essay. I guess I should be happy that I did ok, now that I know what to expect I think I will do better on the final. Really I should be happy with how I did, I had a terrible week this week, my hard drive crashed and I lost everything so I have been at my moms house all day studying with two sick kids. I am enjoying a diet coke and vodka tonight, I think I earned it!! How did everyone else do?

Good Luck to everyone going to take the midterm today!! I am headed out here in a few hours. I have studied for hours everyday this week so I guess I have either got this stuff or I don't, we'll see.

I have not taken the exam yet, I will take it fri or sat, I need all the time I can get to study lol. I am doing ok, I have had 2 kids sick for almost a week, fevers of 103.5, so I am trying to cram in studying bewteen sick kids. Right now I am working on essays that I fell behind on, I am a little worried about the test because it is worth so much of the grade. How are you doing? Sounds like your doing great!!

Has anyone taken the midterm yet?

Wow, I had no idea this was possible, what if I am passed my withdraw date? Also will this affect financial Aid at all, I have to take 12 credits.

I am taking PSY101 online through Rio Salado and I am starting to hate this class, I am spending more and more time on this class and my grade is getting worse with every assignment. Has anyone taken this through Rio and if so how was your experience. I really thought I could get an A in this class, who would have thought I could get a better grade in BIO and Algebra than in PSY101. I have emailed my instructor twice asking for feedback and the only answer I get is "use more depth" but she has never explained what that means to her. I am getting an 86% right now, I really need to bring that up to an A for GPA reasons. Any advise from would be appreciated!!

Well as a mom of two, I sometimes wish I had got a degree and a career first before having kids, not that I would trade them for the world!! It is definitely harder with kids, I look around at these young kids in college that can study when they want, go to bed when they want, eat when they want lol..., that all changes when you have kids, but I'm sure you know that. What you might want to consider is even though you will be pregnant and able to finish pre reqs, you never know how your going to feel when your pregnant, with my first I had morning sickness so bad I ended up in the hospital, there is no way I could have done a science class. Also what if things change and you don't/can't make it back to finish nursing, will you be ok with that? With that said it sounds like you really want this, so if you have thought about everything, especially finances, then go for it, cause there is nothing like being a mom. Good Luck

Sounds like a good idea, I am worring about the midterm as well.

I am not surprised that you can sleep till 9:30, I use to work nights bartending so I would purposely let my kids sleep in, of course now their in school and so am I, so were up around 7. But if you can do your classes online, you can still sleep in, that will help some, although I would not suggest any science online. Really it doesn't matter when you get up, just find a schedule that works for you and your family and stick to it, you'll do great.

I am getting really frustrated with this class already or should I say with the professor. I spend sooooo much time on this class and I am really trying, and no matter what I do she picks apart my essays and marks me down for every little thing, even contradicts herself at times just to have something to mark me down on. I am enjoying the material and doing very well on test, but because of her picky essay grading I am down to a high B. I really wanted an A in this class, and I am willing to work for it, but I don't think I can get an A because of these crazy essays. Anyone having this problem?

Thanks

It was in Todays paper 1-25-09, Business Sunday page D5, kind of depressing, anyone else read this, what are your thoughts?

Anyone else getting frustrated already, I spent 2 days on 2 essays and only got an 81. I am wondering if I should have taken this in class instead of online. I just don't have too much of a choice at this point.

Me too, I just started Bio a week ago, haven't taken it in 11 yrs.
