    WCSU1987 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WCSU1987 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel I can squeak out at least an 80 to 82 overall course grade. Think that will have a huge impact? So far 83 on my first exam, 58 on my 2nd, and a 83 on my third. Exams total overall is 65%. Lab...

    WCSU1987 replied to JJC10103's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find AP2 hard and AP1 easier. I am stressing out hoping to get a B or higher. I am averaging mid 70's with test. The lab work, homework, and bonus exam bolster my grade. Plus we get to drop our...
