   lol not sure about being hypochondriac being that I'm fairly healthy (other than my hypothyroidsm) and hope it stays that way. I can only hypothesize that it has to do with the fact that english is my second language and I hyper-focus on the spellin...

   I did not take neither of those classes. But throughout the program i realized that I have a thing for memorizing medications so it's very easy for me to remember them. Its really odd but I happened to remember a very very old med and what it did, I ...

   1 regular clinical day and 1 mental health clinical day weekly, for the duration of mental health which is not the full semester. There are two days of lecture class (one of those days having mental health lecture, so its a full day) , the clinicals...

   You're welcome. The benefit of study group has variables. One, depends on your learning style. Some people do really good and even need study groups. I have ADD (unmedicated) so I need breaks often when I'm studying, so I always did my studying on m...

   If you can afford it, I would highly recommend not working. I didn't work but I did see the exhaustion, frustration, anxiety and lower grades from some of the working ones (not all but most). Not because they were not capable but because there is onl...

   I passed my TEAS with a 61. I'm finishing my last semester of nursing with a 95%. TEAS doesn't determine the kind of nurse you will become. 13 people in my class with higher TEAS scores than me, did not make it until the end. Please do not be ashamed...

    You need enc1102 to get the ADN. Alot of people had to take it during their Christmas break because they weren't going to be able to graduate without it.

    Yes, enc1102 I took before the program. Its ALOT of writing. Would highly recommend it gets done before the program. If the other class you're talking about is Mental Health, you have to take it within the program.

    Ok, so I decided to sell my books and just posted them on craigslist. I'll post the link here in case anyone is interested, before I cross post it. They're in pretty good condition, especially the Med Surge book, as I'm more of a ebook reader. And ye...

    Is this for fall? I got my acceptance in april, this of course was in 2015. We had a deadline of Jan 10th i think, for the fall.

    That is accurate. Mine did not change to "received" until the same day I got my acceptance packet. Not sure why, but they ended up calling me and emailing the packet, instead of mailing it regularly. I know that the wait sucks, I've been there. The o...
