  3. Is anyone else's school increasing tuition?

    newbebop replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    My school was happy to claim in the local news paper that they were not raising tuition this fall. However, instead of charging us by the credit hour they are now charging us by the contact hour. So...

  4. Staying awake to study?

    newbebop replied to Asira's topic in General Students

    I am never an advocate for staying up later than your body can tolerate to study. The value of waking up rested will be better for your studying and memory retention than a few extra hours of...

  10. OH NO! the A & P classes are FULL!

    newbebop replied to nickynoodles's topic in General Students

    Email or call the instructor and go through any proper channels to get on a wait list or sometimes they have the discretion to override the enrollment. The crashing is also not a bad idea if your...

  11. Haven't even started the program, but already terrified of flunking out

    newbebop replied to kayty2339's topic in General Students

    These anxieties are normal. But if you let them get the better of you, they will pull you down. Take a few deep breaths. You have to believe in yourself. There are people flunking out of all kinds of...

  12. Can nurses have piercings?

    newbebop replied to toninz's topic in General Students

  19. Opinions???

    newbebop replied to minnierocker's topic in General Students

    You may look into a CLEP test. And weather or not the school you are looking at accepts that. You should be able to do it right there at the college. It is a test you pay for to "test out" of a class...

  24. What to do now

    newbebop replied to kachowell's topic in General Students

    Believe it or not some hospitals prefer you to not have the experience. That way they won't have to break all the bad habits you learned at your other job.

  25. please help ......

    newbebop replied to nikig's topic in General Students

    Daytonight has provided the best place to start. It is so hard to tell someone how to study. It is such an individual thing... for both the student, and how they retain information, and the fact that...
