  1. EC Background check

    willtm replied to bjsmi27's topic in Online Distance Learning

  2. EC Background check

    willtm replied to bjsmi27's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think they will automatically send you a new study guide when it becomes available. I would certainly hold on to the big one they are currently sending out. They can't possibly get the same info...

  9. Ksu?

    willtm replied to sirena119's topic in Georgia Nursing

  10. Ksu?

    willtm replied to sirena119's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've been taking gen ed at KSU. It's ok, but the parking is extremely limited, which is a big hassle. If you take early am classes or week end--fri or sat, it's ok. If not plan to arrive 45 minutes...

    willtm replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

  15. EC Practice tests

    willtm replied to Spazzy Nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning
