    allycat77 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How are you studying now? How much time are you dedicating to the class you are struggling with? I only ask because school used to come pretty easy to me, where I really didn't have to study that...

  6. What do you use for note-taking? (technology-wise)

    allycat77 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I am finding in my final pre-reqs (pharmacology for example) that the instructors largely lecture off of PowerPoints. So far I have been using my tablet (a hacked HP touch pad not optimized for...

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in General Students

  10. What do you use for note-taking? (technology-wise)

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in General Students

    Hi Julieface, I hear PDF Expert is good for the iPad. You can convert your PPs to PDFs, and then annotate by "handwriting" or typing. How do you like the mini? Does the size bother you for reading?...

  11. RN's, please share your opinion

    allycat77 replied to rhamp357's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that there must be a trade off. Is it easier to get into this school compared to other local universities? Is this school one of the top schools of the region? Are you more likely to get a job...

  16. Study habits

    allycat77 replied to ksecatero21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say to use the Coloring book that usually accompanies the text. I actually found A&P I harder than A&P II. Also there are a lot of books out there like the Made Incredibly Easy series...

    allycat77 replied to CareQueen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, those are some cheap credits, even for CC! OP I don't think you would be a "guest" student. You would apply for admittance 1st to a CC, I can't imagine they would let you take the class any other...

    allycat77 replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
