  2. Medstrong Study Guides

    GCmomRN replied to healthcare2006's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Never heard of it. I have the Lisa Arends guides and find them to be ok, but the lack of punctuation drives me crazy. I find the final review and practice exams most helpful. I just bought the...

  8. pearson scheduling

    GCmomRN replied to cheltoe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think more times open up, it might have to do with how fast the early times fill up (so maybe if all the 8am slots fill they open more?) But this is just a guess! I have found that to be true at my...
