    Despareux replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Despareux replied to edj0814's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. What kind of attitude does a nursing student need to succeed?

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Oh yes, car maintenance--that's a good one (must remember that). Enjoying the summer is good, too. My husband and I just bought a house in June and have planned a party the weekend before school...

    Despareux replied to avaloncar's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. Is this class load insane?

    Despareux replied to Amp21786's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Baker College

    Despareux replied to Phil313's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks. I'm not offended [all that much]. Baker seems to get a bad rap sometimes and I feel the education there is no different than an education at OCC, U of M, Davenport, wherever. Regarding NLN...

  15. Baker College

    Despareux replied to Phil313's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Despareux replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had poli-sci back when I was in school for mechanical engineering--hated it then, and I hate it now. I would say, for my nursing pre-reqs, it's oral communications, hands down. It was

    Despareux replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Over studying??

    Despareux replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    For me it's a must to over-study for my 1st, and sometimes, my 2nd exams. Afterward, I generally get the gist of the material as well as the teaching style of the instructor, making studying a tad...
