I plan on reviewing my anatomy and physiology. Especially the topics that I had skipped over and never grasped. Good luck reviewing before Nursing School!

Early on in my academic career due to unforeseen circumstances, I fell in the hole with a VERY VERY Low GPA 0.9! I pulled myself out by retaking those courses and doing exceptionally well and over a span of just one year, I raised my GPA to 3.2. I was also very ashamed and embarrassed and I am still embarrassed talking about it but I taught myself to get over it. My advise to you is take all the required pre-requisite courses and do well on those. Most private universities look at your science or pre-requisite GPA more than the overall GPA. Do well in your classes from now on and when you apply to nursing schools, explain to the schools that you have improved since your prior rough patch at school. State universities would be harder to get into though because of the large number of qualified applications they receive. Bottom line... if you work hard and show the schools you have improved you do have a fair chance of getting in to any school you want to! Schools care about how you progress and how well you do in the classes you are taking now. Nobody cares about if the classes were taken at a community college or a university. They do care about if all the pre-requisites are completed or not and the grades you receive in those pre-requisites.

It's not JUST Santa's suit that is Big y'all!

Faking an injury is not going to get you anywhere! Just let Santa know you really want to be an ELF!!

Really!! You "BROKE" all four's AGAIN! Come up with a new excuse if you don't want to pull Santa's LOAD!

Thank you EVERYONE for sharing your ideas. It will help me tremendously and others also who visit this post :)

This is actually great advise. This will aid me in studying smarter. I always miss out on the lecture because I am busy writing and utilizing your ideas can help me focus on the lecture better. Thank you.

Thank you pmabraham!

That may have to be an option if the clicking sounds get too much in the way of my lectures. Which kind of recorder do you have and how much does it cost?

Wow! I am excited now. You must tell me how to record the lectures on OneNote and is there something you need to do like keep on a particular setting to make the audio play where I type in the note? Also how do you deal with the clicking of the keyboard sounds? I need to minimize those sounds.

I tried Evernote just in the past couple days and I did not like it. Maybe I need to play around with it a bit. OneNote can also be downloaded on all your devices and viewed on the go. I have yet to figure out how to record my audios and videos on it. I like how you mentioned that evernote can take pictures of handwritten notes and upload to your notes. I think I like that feature.

Can you please share why the laptop thing did not work for you? I am really looking forward to finally be ready to use technology to aid in my note taking. I like pen and paper but I want to try something different.

Does OneNote NOT allow you to annotate power points? I have not tried it but its making me think now! Thanks for this post and your input now so I can look into my options for directly working on annotating my PPT's.

Hmmm... I have a Lenovo ideapad. I can hear all the clicks and I tried recording using a couple different apps but the clicks are very prominent.

I think I will do just the same but try it on my laptop first. In case it does not work out I will print out the PPT and add my own hand written notes.
