   PVT worked for me and a handful of others that I know ! :) I just found out that I passed a couple of hours ago and I'm still on cloud 9! This trick kept me sane!

2. CSCC supplies

   belle52877 replied to shortnorthstudent's topic in Ohio

   The vast amount is a bit overwhelming :) But if you are able to start buying things early and family/friends are willing to jump in and help then I think you are a pretty lucky student! :) First and foremost- Get a rolling backpack. I thought thi...

   That would be terribly sad if you decided to not do it at all. If it is something that you are truly passionate about, the desire won't go away. Trust me. I wanted to go back when I was in my early 20's after graduating with a degree in another ...

   Please don't get discouraged :) Just be patient, and remember everything happens for a reason. If you have to wait one more year- think of that in the grand scheme of your life - its like a blink of the eye. I thought it was the end of the world t...

   "Patho doesn't teach about fixing people. It takes normal physiology and shows what goes wrong and how a problem in one area impacts other areas and how a disease progresses through the body. Basically it's abnormal physiology. You learn some sign...

   You have to know regular physiology though before you can truly understand patho. One thing I've learned in nursing school is that you must always know the 'norms'

   For what it's worth, even though I did fine in anatomy, I found physiology and pathophysiology to be much easier. I think for most people it is the other way around though....

    I couldn't agree with you more :) I was discouraged as well and heard all the same rumors. They simply aren't true. If you have a high GPA, score well on the entrance exam, and have your pre-reqs in order there is no reason you shouldn't get in. C...

    In regards to requesting specific clinical times - you can request but they may or may not honor that request. If you choose to go full time you will have class 2 days a week, plus your clinical on a different day. I had to reduce my work schedule t...

    It is true about the clinical times... The first quarter you get to choose between the 2 days and times available, but after that clinical dates and times are assigned (unfortunately) You just have to keep your fingers crossed that you get the one ...

    Actually, many of the people in the program are older students with previous degrees or at the least some completed college coursework. There are quite a few that are married and/or have kids and also work full time - I am sure this has some correla...

    I am in the second quarter of the program. The tutoring sessions are aimed at helping you learn how to improve your study habits and test skills, it's not necessarily a content focused session. I attended the sessions several tines, and while I did...
