My clinical instructor is leaving after this semester and she currently teaches 3 sections (24 students). It's a shame because she's awesome! Maybe they don't have replacements? I also know of another...

I'm thinking that the low turnout (only about 125 applied total for full-time & part-time!) which in turn lowered the minimum points was due to them only accepting TEAS v while in the past they...
Great job! I made the mistake of telling people my grades and now everyone wants me to tutor them. I don't have time for any of that! I have no life that's why I do well! :) now I'm just gonna tell...
I'm a month into my 1st semester of my ADN program. I got a 95% on my first fundamentals exam (darn near the highest score with a class average of 79%!) ) and I got a 100% on my dosage calculations...
