  5. Anyone with held old transcripts?

    Maisie replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it is different at every school. I actually mentioned my Electronics degree to my school and why I didn't want to transfer it. They were fine about it. Nothing dishonest, just courses there...

    Maisie replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Intimidation Tactics as Teaching Tools?

    Maisie replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Students

    They do it because they can. Nursing instructors are hard to find. These instructors are quite aware of that fact. They know they can do whatever they please, and unless it endangers someone or the...

  9. Any other "second career" students out there?

    Maisie replied to oh_wow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maisie replied to NurseBunky's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When researching the NCLEX pass rate, keep in mind that many schools had poor pass rates until they started requiring a pretest. A lot of schools require that you take the pretest and pass it before...

  17. Is this a ripoff?

    Maisie replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure it is the same company, but I purchased the one for the Asset test. In my opinion it is better to just purchase a study guide. The Asset guide I purchased online did not have enough...

  20. I have a severe case of test anxiety

    Maisie replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Planning ahead and thinking outloud for a minute

    Maisie replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Blah - bad sociology class

    Maisie replied to nursestudentin05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I drop any class with a teacher who brags about not giving an A's. The reason. These teachers enjoy it so much, that they go out of their way to give anything less than an A. Sociology is graded by...
