  1. A&p

    We do A&P in separate classes: Anatomy: Marieb for the text plus Netter's atlas Physio: Silverthorn for the text and Fox for the lab
  2. The MPH suggestion seems like a good one. Depending on how bad your grades are, consider going as a full-time student for 3 semesters. In one year you could upwards of 36 semester units. Even if the 30 units preceding that were 2.0 (which they're not...
  3. A Little Financial Help Please!!!!!

    An advantage to the advice of maryk99 is then you'll have a chemistry degree and could look at an accelerated BSN or direct-entry MSN program. Schools are real sticklers about the money versus transcripts thing. They know that it's the only real leve...
  4. Chemistry Proficiency Test??

    I'd guess that the test to which they're referring is the chemistry CLEP administered by the College Board (the same lovely folks who bring us the SAT). You can check out their site at http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/ex_chem.html and...
  5. BSN the only "professional"??

    Since you already have a degree, you could also look at a direct-entry MSN program instead of the ADN-MSN route.
  6. Graduation gift

    Give her a certificate good for membership and/or subscription to the organization and/or journal of her choice. You could make a very cool certificate layout and copy covers from some of the journals along with logos from the professional organizati...
  7. This sucks!

    What's so surprising is not just that they go off of only 3 classes but that two of them are English and Psychology.
  8. 'PA anesthetist'?

    Everyone's just trying to protect (and increase) their piece of the pie and, I think, the debate has little to do with patient access nor quality outcomes.
  9. Want to be a nurse, past in school not great

    Like the others, I agree you can do it. Like several others, I too have some lousy grades on my early record. Colleges at all levels understand that early performance is not a predictor of later success. In fact, in my case my early failures have ma...
  10. This sucks!

    You mean that the nursing school to which you're applying bases their admissions solely on the grades earned in 3 classes, one of which is some kind of English class? I'm amazed. I've not come across anything like that at the various schools that I l...
  11. Dads holding Moms during epidural placement?!?!

    I held my wife while she received her epidural. Maybe you should require 'em to wear helmets...:wink2:
  12. quick question

    Regarding "What is a CNL", you can google it and you'll find all sorts of info. Here's a link to a whitepaper written as the concept was being fleshed out: http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Publications/WhitePapers/ClinicalNurseLeader.htm I've been admitted t...
  13. Denied Health Insurance because of mental health care?

    You may have trouble with medical insurance and life insurance (meaning you'll pay more for it). The good news is that getting medical coverage through your employer will get you enrolled in a group plan which, from my experience, means no disclosur...
  14. BSN Admission

    Certainly establishing a positive postbaccalaureate track record would be critical. You need to pull out all the stops and shoot for a 4.0 and take as many classes as you can squeeze in beyond the minimum prerequisites. Hard to say whether being ♂ he...
  15. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

    They've always had microwaves. Can't understand having to schedule a trip to the bank in order to get money before a road trip. Aren't particularly impressed by Armstrong's "one small step." Think LPs are so retro... Wonder why we use the term "dial"...
