   lildan replied to bandas's topic in Endocrine

   Hi Bandas, my heart goes out to you and your daughter at this time. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 11, which was 22 years ago. When I read your story, all of the feelings that I remember from that time came right to the surface. I ca...

3. Whats the course load like?

   lildan replied to ag11's topic in General Students

   I am in my first semester - taking Fundamentals of Nursing - and I think that nursing learning and A&P learning are different. A&P was more memorization and Nursing seems to be more application. But, you need to know the A&P information t...

6. C in AP? I am all confused

   lildan replied to FinderKeeper's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't think dropping the class this late in the semester maskes sense. Think of it this way, if you have a "C" you have learned at least 70% of what you need in the class. Finish the class and if you need to re-take it, then do so. But with know...

   I've been an insulin dependent diabetic for 21 years. I've had two surgeries over that time - a breast reduction in 1995 and a c-section in 2004. During the breast reduction, minor liposuction was in the area where my breast and my armpit meet. The...

9. HAPS Exam

   lildan replied to lildan's topic in General Students

   Kel2BanRN: I am glad that you said that because I didn't think it was as hard as my prof and other students said it was. I think there were probably 8 to 10 questions that I was totally unsure of. And, maybe another 20 or so that I really needed to t...

12. Admissions Strictly By the Numbers

    lildan replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The CC I attend uses a point system. I applied for Fall semester with a 3.53 and with A&P II and Microbiology in progess (all other pre-reqs were complete). My CC does not look at classes in progress, so, my Spring grades/credits (A&P II and...

13. A&P: Really Hard vs. Just a lot of material

    lildan replied to ceraleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took A&P I last Fall and took A&P II in the Spring. I received As in both classes. I think that they are challenging classes - memorization, practicals, clinical application of what's been learned, time management - but it truly depends ...

    lildan replied to SCmomof3's topic in Endocrine

    SirI: Thanks for that great explanation. As an insulin-dependent diabetic as well as a pre-nursing student who studied acid-base balance in A&P II this spring, when I see questions like this I try to "test" myself a bit. And, I was right on acc...
