    If its like it was last semester you will NOT review it in class. We took our test the first day but yours is going to be pushed back to hell week (in my opinion) the week you will have your first...

    I wouldnt put a lot of stock in that. We have students in our class from as far away as Alaska (no joke) and I am sure there was no articulation agreement there. GPA is only one factor of

    I usually wear the Court Classics from Costco. They are cheap and comfortable. I also wear Crocs - no holes though. The great thing about those is they are easy to clean. Hope that helps.

    GL - I made decent grades this semester. One thing to caution you about is that there is no curving or extra credit. I missed an "A" in one class by the slimmest of margins but I also know people who...

    I will through in my two cents on this subject though I personally did not work. When you first start into your first semester you will probably think you can swing it, but my experience is those that...

    and no they dont calculate gpa at orientation. If you are in, you are in unless you didnt make an A or B in those last prerequisite classes. I dont know what happens if you end up with a C or

    you can mail them in or you can hand either of those in during orientation. Some folks are taking summer classes so their final transcript is literally fresh off the press. One more thing...ANY form...

    I use My Nursing Lab all the time to study the text...the videos are a bonus. IMO it has helped. I would take my laptop to open lab and run the videos while I was practicing..but what helps me the...

    Sorry about the recommended books...don't buy those right now. I ended up getting some of them after we started; but its best to figure out what you may need or what you can share or get at the...

    Buy them off Amazon its cheaper...but...make sure you have the right edition and package. For Nursing 304 you will need My Nursing Lab to be packaged with the book. If you dont get it packaged...

    Agreed! And don't base your opinions on how easy/manageable things appear to be in the first few weeks either. This first semester hasn't been hard in terms of difficulty of the material; it's the...

    I'm not sure on that but I personally wouldn't make it any longer than two pages, at most 2.5. Try to remember your reader. You don't want them to lose interest and a handful of paper is one sure fire...

    Yes you will have to wait. I am not sure what the date is for new students (the 20th of this month comes to my mind but I may be wrong). You might want to try again then if you haven't received your...

    Whatever you do don't start off by saying: "When I was a little girl I always dreamed of being a nurse..." That apparently is done all the time and doesn't set you apart. If it's any help I wrote mine...

    That one you are going to have to have someone else answer. Clinicals are based on broad subject matter (Adult Health, Peds, Psych, etc) so I doubt Shock Trauma would be on the menu but again I don't...
