    If there were copies of questions online, and you accessed them- you would be committing a serious violation of your school's fraud policy- this can end up with you being dismissed, and having this...

    DNP Touro Nevada

    meanmaryjean replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The other thing to know about Touro is that they follow the orthodox Jewish calendar. So the terms start at weird times (mine were March, July, and October) and you do not get two weeks off for...

    Planners: Digital vs. Paper

    meanmaryjean replied to AnnPerkins's topic in General Students

    Paper. I use an 8.5 x 11" one, same size as notebook paper. It is even three-hole punched to go in a binder. Can't live without it. And there is SOLID neuroscience that writing down things by hand...
