  1. Do you ever find yourself comparing where you are to where other people are?

    pmabraham replied to kdpatula's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good day, kdpatula: No; I've found comparing oneself to another is comparing apples to oranges with nothing to really learn. My race is against myself; not my classmates. Thank

  2. Laptop vs Paper

    pmabraham replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    Good day, PaulBaxter: My compromise is to use an iPad and the app, GoodNotes where I can take handwritten notes using a stylus. GoodNotes allows me to annotate PDF files and PowerPoints as well as...

    pmabraham replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    pmabraham replied to Mdrew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. IS Quizlet reliable?

    pmabraham replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    Good day, GodIs082010: I recommend creating your own quizlet.com cards for the following reasons: 1. By typing in the terms and definitions, you are reinforcing both prior to even using the cards. 2....

    pmabraham replied to mozer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. How hard is basic anatomy and pysiology

    pmabraham replied to TIffany1579's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good day, TIffany1579: If you love hardcore sciences, AP1 will be easy to medium in terms of difficulty. If sciences are new to you or just "eh," then AP1 will be extremely hard....

    pmabraham posted a topic in General Students

  15. Are any of you using an ipad with stylus to take notes?

    pmabraham replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    Good day: As an avid Evernote user, I tried Penultimate; it was not for me (it was among the absolute worst note taking apps I tried). I found GoodNotes to work best with a stylus. For those that...

  18. Is It Necessary?

    pmabraham replied to osi2011's topic in General Students
