  1. Should I listen to the results or should I follow my heart?

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

    Good day, Hopelessly: I remembered http://umaine.edu/tutorprogram/files/2011/11/tutor_program_tip-taking_multiple_choice_exams.pdf as I was out for a walk. I found those tips helpful; maybe they will...

  2. Should I listen to the results or should I follow my heart?

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

    Good day, Hopelessly: Thank you for sharing. From my understanding of the nursing field is that a question will present itself with a number of answers, several of which will be right with just one...

  3. Should I listen to the results or should I follow my heart?

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

    Good day, Hopelessly: I agree with those who shared about retaking the classes if you can do better. One thing I recommend is that the moment you get a bad grade, then schedule an appointment to see...

    pmabraham replied to giraffe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

    Good day, Hopelessly: If you were doing poorly in all classes, one might argue you are not good at taking tests (to try and argue in your favor). Yet to do very well in your other classes, most of...

  9. Which is harder: A&P 1 or A&P 2?

    pmabraham replied to giraffe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good day, giraffe4: I found AP2 lecture to be the same difficulty level, and lab to be more difficult in that the histology portion of the lab went from knowing a handful of items to often a score or...

  10. Pathophysiology

    pmabraham replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good day, Kryptonite: While my school doesn't require it, I've signed up for it this coming fall. If one takes it, our school requires that one first passed AP2 with a passing grade (i.e. C or...

  14. Is taking 4 classes in the summer too much?

    pmabraham replied to stagha's topic in General Students

    Good day: 11 credits would roughly mean 22 hours per week study time, and 11 hours per week lecture time for a total (typically minimum) time commitment of 33 hours. If you can schedule it, be...

  15. Textbooks

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

    Good day: Amazon.com -- though no matter where you shop, if your class needs and access code, be careful (especially that used books don't often include the code). Thank

    pmabraham replied to Heart2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

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

    pmabraham replied to InquisitiveMind263's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good day, InquisitiveMind263: Most transcripts don't list if the class is online or not. Also, since the lab is in person / on campus, that should make a difference if it did matter. Though...
