1. Prereq difficulty equivalent to nursing classes?

   Crystalline posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've heard that many of the prerequisite classes for nursing are foundational, but also a form of "weeding out" those who don't have the study skills/critical thinking skills/stamina for the actual nursing program. I guess my question is this: are th...

2. Anatomy Summer 2006 Club

   Crystalline replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well we took our second practicum on muscles and I've managed to maintain my A average for the class! I was very worried about this one because it is traditionally the hardest test and I can see why. I'm exhausted and don't want to think about orig...

3. Is this a doable schedule for fall?

   Crystalline replied to Alpha13's topic in General Students

   My opinion is that you would have to be an A student, HIGHLY organized and disciplined, natural aptitude in science, and have very few commitments or time requirements outside of school work. That schedule to me looks like 9-12 hours of lab, at least...

   Crystalline replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Meh. It's 2:30am and I'm studying muscles. Test is on Thursday at 1pm. Why can't I get these actions to stick in my head? :angryfire I was practicing my flash cards with my husband and he was recalling the answers better than I was! :trout: I th...

5. What classes are you taking for fall?

   Crystalline replied to xNursePinkx2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I will be taking 12 units related to my non-nursing BA. Nursing prereq classes will be physiology and gerontology. I will have no life.

6. How about a thread for baby names you liked?

   Crystalline replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I've always like Schuyler, Moira, Anne and Claire for girls. For boys I like Craig, Noah, Ray, and Jack. :)

7. 22 mo. old nephew having seizures

   Crystalline posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm hoping some of you will be able to shed some light on the situation and offer up any advice or information for my family. My nephew has had two seizures in the last 24 hours. My brother called me and is a wreck over it and was hoping I might be a...

8. Anatomy Summer 2006 Club

   Crystalline replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, I got a 94% on my first lecture exam, with extra credit it bumps up to 103%, which I'm going to siphoning off of the rest of the term because this stuff just gets harder with the passing weeks. My class must have a bunch of smartypants in it b...

9. Opinions please?

   Crystalline replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   For me, I say LVN, no question. I've looked into at least a dozen MA and LVN programs and found that (where I live) if the program is through a vocational school, none of the credits would end up transferable to an RN program at a community college ...

10. Summer classes?

    Crystalline replied to KaraBear1121's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm taking Anatomy and Biological Anthropology this summer at community college. I'm getting my BA in another discipline in May, 2007, and finishing up nursing pre-reqs during this time to hopefully get into a nursing program after I graduate. Best ...

11. Rating your Professor

    Crystalline replied to WannaBTraveling's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes, I've been rating on this site for a few years now. Of course, I take some of those posts with a horselick of salt, but I do use it quite a bit when planning out my classes. The one semester I didn't check out the professors before registering ...

    Hiya! I'm taking an 8-week anatomy course this summer. We've had one practicum on bones so far that most of my class got As on! Our first lecture exam is tomorrow and I'm trying not to stress too much. Best of luck to the rest of you. I'll let you ...
