    WGU, GCU, or UoP???

    SunshineDaisy replied to Guest757854's topic in School, College Programs

    California RN license endorsement to TN

    SunshineDaisy replied to winkyj's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Why did you choose nursing?

    SunshineDaisy replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    How many NClex questions did you practice during nursing school?

    SunshineDaisy replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    Gosh, I never kept track! The only time I did was when I had to do 500 for my preceptorship, only because those had to be turned in! I'd say I did about 4,000 or more in the course of 2

    Recording Lectures

    SunshineDaisy replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    They are nice to have. I have an RCA one that has the USB thing on it so I can plug it in to my computer if I want. Some of our teachers don't let us record though

    What happens in a Capstone?

    SunshineDaisy replied to 11nick's topic in Online Distance Learning

    From what I understand at my school (GCU) it's a final project. We had a research methods type class before it, where we research the project, and then Capstone, which is where we work on

    I ditto the above poster. Whichever classes have a lab component (usually your sciences) those will need to be done in person, usually once a week. Your actual nursing classes can be done online as...

    How do you take NOTES in class during Nursing Scool?

    SunshineDaisy replied to NursingStoodent's topic in General Students

    All of my instructors used PPt, so I'd print 3 slides to a page and take notes on there by hand, just better for me. I tried the laptop thing and it didn't work at all for me, but there's MANY...
