    lifelearningrn replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How do people cheat their way through school and get away with it? As far as take home test go.. if the questions are done right, you can learn a hell of a lot more than if you cram for a normal exam...

    online b.s. in nursing program not a rn to bsn

    lifelearningrn replied to glhsocks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    how does the grading system work at your college?

    lifelearningrn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See- I hate seeing that "-" sign, so I love the standard A, B, C system. Yeah, it sucks when you're at the top end of a letter grade.. but it's nice if you're at the low end..
