   Congratulations to you!! I got my letter today too. I got accepted to El Centro. I'll see your fifteen years and raise it 16. Last summer, we had our 30th reunion for the Class of 1975 of North Garland High School. Mike

3. The "I hate math" club

   Mike1957 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So what blanks did you draw? What was on the quiz? Mean, median, mode, midrange, variance and standard deviation? Is your instructor giving you the formulae or are you supposed to pull them from the deep, dark recesses of what used to be your brai...

   OK..so in my statistics class, 80% are nursing types. I will be willing to bet that no more than 10% of them get A's. In my A&P 2 class, there were 12% A's, in my A&P 1 class, there was one A...MINE. These classes are weed-out classes just...

   It may take a while to hear from her. She took over a week to get the application to me. There are well over 100 folks ahead of me in line for this and she said that the program is just about out of money. They hope to recharge the coffers soon.

11. Microbiology in Dallas

    Mike1957 replied to nurseboudin's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey Jenn, Tom Cunningham is pretty good. I had him for Micro. in Spring 2005. The only problem is that he doesn't take charge of the class really well and can, at times, let some of the students sorta run over things. He's a very good teacher and ...

    Well I took the NET today. I posted my score over in the "I Hate Math" thread. I really am disappointed that I didn't ace the math portion of the test. You'll note that my little sister/mentor Gauge14IV has joined us. She's an RN (ADN, BSN) and cu...

    Hey Kiddo...did you read the course description on the books or just assume that you needed all four of them? My 1405 course listed 4 books....2 required and 2 "recommended". I looked at the recommended books and decided that my money would be bett...
