  1. Can old resources still be useful?

    Julesmama28 replied to Shinnichi's topic in General Students

    Probably wouldn't hurt to read it! Some things change, with new evidence but then others don't. I probably wouldn't use it for your class

  5. Should i buy an iPad?

    Julesmama28 replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

  6. Balancing diversity and academic achievement in program acceptance

    Julesmama28 replied to amandagill's topic in General Students

    We have a good, diverse group here. I think they are very competitive, but also allow a little wiggle room. They add up points based on GPA, Kaplan score, residency etc. Then they interview the top...

    Julesmama28 replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

  18. How hard is nursing school?

    Julesmama28 replied to keya86tiff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that if you want it bad enough, you can do it. 3.7 GPa is pretty awesome for college! Nursing school is much more demanding of your time (my kids don't see me much these days) and when...

  19. HRSA/Nurse Corps Scholarship is now OPEN!

    Julesmama28 replied to conursetobe's topic in General Students

  25. Carrington College Reno,NV Entrance Exam

    Julesmama28 replied to jbeautiful17's topic in Nevada Nursing
