i discovered the magic of the online classes my 2nd year of the program & i wish i'd been doing them all along.

i took chai in the classroom & then chaii online - my grades improved immensely. i actually enjoy classroom lecture (the only reason i tried online classes was because i just really didn't enjoy the company of my classmates), so i didn't think i would benefit much from the online courses, but they seriously made my life sooo much easier.

i remember being sooo nervous with my 1st online class. the instructor that knew me the best in my program said that online wouldn't be for me, that i wouldn't do well at all, so i was extra nervous. i met up with a couple of the online instructors before registering for their classes & they reassured me that they thought i'd do fine as long as i followed the syllabus. best decision i ever made in nursing school.

details: i went to matc truax & that's where i took all my online classes through, although, i was told i could have taken them through any accredited college.

lemme know if you have any questions!!:D

Jessica 392 I have taken some classes online before but it really depends on the instructor. I had this one instructor who basically left it up to us to learn the material but the tests were nothing that we were told to know. So I am a little afraid. I have had some great instructors also. It is just so hard when you have never met the person or have no feedback from a student who has had the instructor.

I am currently at MATC and took CHA1 and CHA2 online. CHA1 was taken through the tech school in Green Bay and I passed with an 82% during the summer of 2006. They aren't bad at all. Keep in mind that I am not very academically inclined so if I can pass, you sure can. :)

Is MATC Milwaukee or Madison Tech ??? They both go by that abbreviation.

hey cool! wisconsin students! i've got a question for all of you...

i'm just starting nursing at ntc and was wondering about pharm online in the fall... would that be a death sentence? i have a 4.0 and don't want to ruin it... (however i've been told to not worry about the grade and worry more about learning the material):nurse:

do you guys have any study tips for online fundamentals? i'm taking that right now. i actually start in a few days and don't have the syllabus or powerpoints yet. i heard that the tests are killer because there is so much info and the questions are written to throw you off.

thanks fellow snow bunnies:typing

Tiny,

NTC grad here...DON"T go into the classes with preconceived notions!!! Study the material, read the questions, really read the answers and go from there.

I found that those who went into the classes "Knowing" the test was hard usually didn't do as well as those who chose to disregard the gossip surrounding the class/program.

Also keep in mind that NTC has, in the past had the highest NCLEX pass rate in the state (Yes, even higher than the BSN programs!). I highly recommend the book Saunders Strategies for Success for the NCLEX-RN Examination by Linda Anne Silvestri. NTC tends to write their tests similar in format to the NCLEX....This book is great!

Good luck!
