   Hi all, I take my last tommorrow, have a 3 day preceptorship and some general school housekeeping stuff left to finish and I graduate on the 29th. I can't believe it is here, but I am so glad it is over too! It is very bittersweet. Last year at th...

   asc5 replied to asc5's topic in General Students

   Sorry about that! OK, I am in classes 7:20am to 2:00pm M-F, I do not work, have a very supportive family, and a baby in first grade. My commute time is like 20minutes to NS and the local CC is about 25minutes. The class I would take is A&P 1 ...

7. HESI A2 Admissions Exam - Anatomy / Physiology portion?

   asc5 replied to GeekGirl's topic in General Students

   Our school required the same test only they included Chemistry and Biology as well! I took the test twice, once with no studying and a second time after completing the required online A&P class. My score improved by 10 points because of the req...

9. Student Loan Forgiveness for Nurses??

   asc5 replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Nursing

   First of all I am not a troll. I am from a middle class family where my dad made too much money for me to be eligible for any financial assistance. I am one of four and there just was not enough money to go around. The only way I could go to schoo...

10. Student Loan Forgiveness for Nurses??

    asc5 replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Nursing
