   You get a call if you get a small envelope telling you that you are an alternate. I graduate in May. I was an alternate and got a call a few days later telling me I was in. I don't know if they care about already having a BA or BS but in my class t...

   As someone said a month ago, MUSC uses ATI not HESI. They have an NCLEX predictor that you have to pass before they will endorse you but in reality, if you can't pass that do you really want to sit for NCLEX? I mean why pay the money just to fail it...

    Congratulations. I am a first semester student. I think I am pretty happy overall. I think what I like most is that almost everyone in my class is very motivated and works very hard. That is big for me as I am going back to school at age 36 and wa...

    charlestonsailing replied to morningland's topic in Activism

    Point taken on taxes. But saying you think they should pay more when they are already maying a higher rate than you leaves a bad taste in my mouth. No not at all saying that about the poor. Our system is screwed up. I have never denied that. It just...
