3. I got the letter!

   Northstar Angel replied to Northstar Angel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's a small satellite program from a larger university. They only accept one cohort at a time. So every two years, a cohort of 10 goes through the program. It sucks but not much I can do about it :) I'll just apply again in 2 years and should be ...

4. I got the letter!

   Northstar Angel replied to Northstar Angel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey, Mex! Thanks for the support :) What I didn't mention is the fact that it's a very small class of 10 people. Because it's in Alaska, most of the people who apply have families and obligations, they don't really pick up and move to other places ...

   Northstar Angel replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ok...add me to the list!!! I should know the end of this week or next week. My advisor said to call the school if I haven't gotten a letter by Sept. 10th. My school send a letter out to everybody, rejection or acceptance, so I'll know for sure very...

10. Do You all think this is crazy??

    Northstar Angel replied to ashtabella's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Call me crazy, but when I was taking alg with my A&P, I loved it!! I called algebra my "relaxation" homework. I didn't have to really think about it... I just had to solve the problems!!

11. How'd you learn bones & muscles?

    Northstar Angel replied to ceraleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Boy...muscles and bones are hard ones!!! There are soooo many!! What worked best for me was tons and tons of "model time" during open lab! Touching and naming and associating with the parts around it was so helpful! Flashcards are always a bonus. ...

12. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

    Northstar Angel replied to Northstar Angel's topic in Pre-Nursing

    ***Update*** Whewww....I'm so glad I misunderstood my advisor when he was telling me that other's were allowed to have some summer classes count! Here is what he really meant.... The school has a main program and a number of satellite programs. Th...

13. Human Anatomy / A&P I Club for Fall 2007

    Northstar Angel replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Try using a mask. I had a lab partner who was sensitive to the smell as well, giving her headaches. Wearing a mask seemed to help her quite a bit! I'm jealous that you get a cadaver to explore. Much better than a cat or pig, I think!! Angelica

14. Human Anatomy / A&P I Club for Fall 2007

    Northstar Angel replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Katie, Dissection really is a lot of fun. Just get those rubber gloves on and get in there! You can really learn a lot through dissection. I think schools vary. I've heard of schools that offer Anatomy and Physiology as separate classes. Both of t...
