  1. C in Anatomy.. uh oh.

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to Mball925's topic in General Students

    Depending on what your program's policy is on retakes I would consider retaking A&P 1. Does your school take the highest grade, or do they average the two? Does the school give you less points...

  2. ER Experience - I'm A Wee Bit Upset

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to emmjayy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

  5. APA Question- need help tonight! late again!

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to fostercatmom's topic in General Students

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

  8. PRN- Should I feel bad?

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to fifiandclea's topic in General Students

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to studentih's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Failing a&p this summer. Bad GPA. What now?

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to ilikecorgis's topic in General Students

    It look like to OP is subtracting the points they missed so far from the total points possible for the class to figure out their "average". OP in reality your current grade is much lower than that....

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to augurey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. I feel like I've made a mistake signing this contract.

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Students

  19. I feel like I've made a mistake signing this contract.

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Students

    As others have said stick it out. If I had someone offering me that type of deal I would be on it in a heart beat. Less than 10,000 for your RN and someone else is covering the cost. To me it is an...
