    Trenata replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

  2. How do you use statistics in nursing school?

    Trenata posted a topic in General Students

    I took statistics about 10 years ago. I did well, (made a B) but I really don't remember anything about it and math is a weak subject for me. How do you use it in nursing school and would it benefit...

    Trenata replied to MizMaverick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trenata replied to AslyVincent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have a good reason to be concerned - it is hard - but you shouldn't let that stand in your way! I wanted to become a nurse almost 20 years ago and let my fear of math and science get in the way....

  15. Becoming discouraged with science prereqs

    Trenata replied to tcov93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are taking accelerated courses, I would recommend you NOT do that for a science esp. if you are struggling. Also, have you considered taking only 1 science class alone without any other...

    Trenata replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    That is great that you have an employer who will work with you! It sounds like NCTC's program has a pretty set schedule for each semester with a few extra's clincials thrown in here and there, so that...
