    Grade Appeals

    CrazierThanYou replied to frustrated SN's topic in General Students

    I guess that would depend on your school. At mine, you could pretty much forget about a grade appeal being successful. Here is how our instructor explained it to some of us: She said that she doesn't...

    CrazierThanYou replied to onlyjesus22's topic in General Students

    At my school, you can become a CNA I after the first semester and a CNA II after the second

    Does Azusa Pacific University accept University of Phoenix BSN degrees/credits?

    CrazierThanYou replied to IMG22's topic in General Students

    I'm also interested in what ended up happening. I don't know much at all about for-profit schools but I have heard many times that other schools won't accept their credits. So, did it work

    CrazierThanYou replied to nurseman78's topic in General Nursing

    It's really hard to know what the real truth is. My school has an admission points system: those with the most points get in. Easy, right? Well, I've heard a few times here and there that MOST...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CrazierThanYou replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Uh, no. I do my reading and all that but my point is, they get all ticked if we haven't already looked at the PowerPoint that they're getting ready to show us all over AGAIN and read to us word for...

    How can I find financial aide for a school that is considered a college?

    CrazierThanYou replied to pandahug's topic in General Students

    I don't understand what you mean by "winter class". Is the $8995 for a semester? A year? Either way, it sounds high. I go to a community college it is $600 a

    CrazierThanYou replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    I took Latin in high school but I don't remember much! To the OP, if you are worried about your reading skills, perhaps you can look into getting a tutor. I used to be a teacher and I did reading...

    Ashamed of nursing school

    CrazierThanYou replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    I don't like to tell people I'm in nursing school but its for an entirely different reason. My reason is because I just graduated with a bachelor's degree 2 years ago. I was unable to find a job so I...

    When you find out, let me know. I also know the information but when we get the test, its never what I expect. We are told exactly what is going to be on the test and it is STILL never what I...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CrazierThanYou replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Sorry, this is my 3rd response to this post. At my school, we are supposed to read the PowerPoints on Blackboard. Some of them have narration and some don't. Most of them are from other schools, not...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CrazierThanYou replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Oh my, but doesn't THAT sound familiar! Then we get chewed out with the instructor saying "Did ANYONE do their reading assignment and look at the PowerPoint? Why should I waste my time getting up here...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    Sounds like you go to my school, haha! Our PowerPoints are uploaded to BlackBoard. A couple of them are read to us in class but the rest of them we are expected to do on our own. There is very little...

    HESI Tips?

    CrazierThanYou replied to pandorasbox's topic in General Students

    I have only taken the Fundamentals HESI so far but I also thought it was pretty tough. The majority of the people in the class have scored in the failing range. I agree that NCLEX questions are...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Students

    I had this same issue due to bad advising. There is really nothing you can do about it except pay for your classes out of pocket if it is because you went over the credits. Even after I got my...

    Should I do the Honors Option in my nursing program???

    CrazierThanYou replied to wilso114's topic in General Students

    I'm sure all schools are different. At the school where I got my BS degree, there was an Honors College. If you were in the Honors College, your course requirements were different. There were...

    HESI disaster!

    CrazierThanYou replied to Jaysie1's topic in General Students

    We also had the green card in the case for $30. Our HESI was also a disaster. Our instructor had trouble getting the access code from wherever she is supposed to get it. Then the access code didn't...

    How much math is involved in nursing school?

    CrazierThanYou replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    Actually, no. They don't come from the book, they don't even look like the ones in the book but that doesn't really matter. Once you learn how to do them, it doesn't matter if they're not the
