    DisneyNurseGal replied to acceptmealready's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, in my program if you drop out anytime after the first DAY of school they don't fill your spot with an alternate, because of the inability to make up clinical and or lab hours that are...

  6. Is college algebra (MAC 1105) hard?

    DisneyNurseGal replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is hard to me may not be hard to you and vice versa. I found if if I stayed up on the homework I was okay. I am the biggest math-phobe and I pulled an A in the class. If you psych yourself out...

  8. Textbooks? E-books?

    DisneyNurseGal replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

  13. Is taking 3 science classes insane?

    DisneyNurseGal replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
