  11. What are some easier nursing programs to get into?

    PapaBearRN replied to ohhivivian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look into a private school. Those are pretty easy, you just need to be able to acquire a $130,000 loan and pass an entrance exam. The CSU's are ridiculously competitive, I believe the average...

  15. Do I really need ebooks?

    PapaBearRN replied to blindcheeseit3's topic in General Students

    You don't need the e books. They always try to push that "discount bundle" on you but it isn't necessary. You might need to purchase online access to the nursing lab, but you won't need the e

  18. So done with underwhelming clinical experiences

    PapaBearRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    PapaBearRN replied to BeccaC623's topic in General Students

  24. Passed First Semester-now I need your help

    PapaBearRN replied to BeccaC623's topic in General Students

    My advice would be to record the lectures and play them over while scanning your notes and filling in anything missing. I personally break down the chapters into sections and re read it a few times...
