    Do you disclose AN to coworkers

    emmjayy replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    emmjayy replied to blondielocks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my A&P courses through Portage Learning (affiliated with Nursing ABC). It was cheap, $740 or so, and A&P w/ lab is a 4 credit course. Check with the schools you're applying to to see...

    emmjayy replied to Katlin1315's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=Been there,done that;8918836 I must say..your home schooling has NOT prepared you for nursing school. I would not pursue nursing.. if I were you. I respectfully disagree on your last point....

    Did anyone find anatomy easy?

    emmjayy replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel exactly the same. I'm 25 and got my Associate's Degree when I was 20. I gave zero hoots about my college education at the time and didn't care at all about my degree. This time around I'm very...

    emmjayy replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My A&P class was through Portage Learning online and it was pretty easy. I'm really paranoid that I'm going to forget everything before I start school though so I've been studying like crazy and...

    Portage Learning final exam format?

    emmjayy replied to CarolinaGirl33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, the questions are all pretty random. However, they aren't very in-depth and are very easy. To get a feel for it, finish the course and then go look at the pre-exam questions. If you feel...
