    Lizzyru replied to cowgirl_RN's topic in General Students

    Lizzyru replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

    Lizzyru replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in General Students

  19. Im not passing my 4th semester Nursing exams, I need some advice..

    Lizzyru replied to Lukarets's topic in General Students

    It seems like almost all professors I've had had a little phrases, like "you may be seeing this again" or "this would be fantastic for you to know". Do your professor have any phrases he/she uses to...

  20. Accuse of plagiarism

    Lizzyru replied to mamiso's topic in General Students

    jtboog2003 is right - whether someone else slipped couple of words or half a page, you are still held accountable for your own work. I think others gave you a great advice to sticking it out and...

  21. They make nursing school much harder than it needs to be

    Lizzyru replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    I think what makes our nursing program so challenging is that when we started, they created a mental image in us that this is a survival of the fittest - like a boot camp almost! It somewhat prove to...

  22. Lost it today

    Lizzyru replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry you had a such a rough day. Being in nursing school is stressful enough and to be sick and to have a fever would push anyone of us off the edge. I think each of us in our class had...

    Lizzyru replied to winterlights08's topic in General Students

    I am in block 4 now and I don't think my arm and shoulder would have made it had it not been for my rolling laptop portfolio case. It has a spot for your laptop, plenty of space for your textbooks,...

  25. Anyone know GCU Scottsdale evening program schedule?

    Lizzyru replied to dlevek's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi there. From what I understand, they are no longer offering the evening class option on SHC campus. It's very unfortunate but it is also true that majority of students that began the night program...
