   Thanks for the replies. I would buy the ipad air if it was $200 cheaper. I have the mac book air and iphone. I wasn't sure what size tablet is OK for eBooks. Iphone is definitely too small and laptop is too awkward. looking at kindle fire hd 8.9, l...

   I had a setback but it's not that much of an issue. I just want to say I like this thread heading. Perfect for pre-Nursing. I hope it stays near the top. No offense anyone ha ha.

   CountryGuy replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you find that you don't like nursing, or no longer want to do it, pay for it little at a time taking few classes, not sure of your academic abilities, it's a little cheaper, ADN is a good route. If you don't want the hassle of going back to school...

6. MacBook vs. Chromebook

   CountryGuy replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing

   They're way ahead of other companies. They release products they created two years ago. Other companies are doing pretty good creating new products to compete with their two year old products. Do you want to pay a premium for a two year old product ...

8. What guided you to Nursing School?

   CountryGuy replied to nursecheng's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had to go into town for some milk and eggs, and it was on the way..... I got tired of job hopping over the years. I always liked working with people and wanted to feel like I was doing something important rather than just a job well done.

9. 18 Credit Hours + Working?!

   CountryGuy replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You can do it, or if you have a bunch of money in the bank now, just work 15 - 20 hours and let the money slowly drain. Since your parents recommend 15 hours. Do that. Borrow money from them at their cost or plus interest they would have earned if ...

13. I am taking the PSB test in a month...

    CountryGuy replied to bluescrubs16's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Make sure you get a good computer. I don't think you can learn a semesters worth of math and science in a month. Just look at much as you can and do practice tests. If you recognize it on the test, make a guess. Not sure how they can judge peoples a...

    Hi everyone, I took the psb recently. My computer took several minutes to move to each new section. I turned my head to get their attention about this. The rules said not to move your head away from monitor after starting. Did I disqualify myself?...
