1. Chemistry woes

   chuff replied to bound4oregon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I work full time too and I am taking my classes online, so I am basically teaching myself! The best advice I can offer you is to look in your textbook for a resource section. It's usually in the front of the book, but sometimes in the back. There are...

2. Pre-Req's...Need Advice

   chuff replied to Ike Arumba's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm surprised that Nutrition and Pharmacology aren't required. They are required for every program I have ever looked into. I would take them anyway. I can't imagine the info from those 2 classes NOT coming up in nursing school or your future career....

3. Any older people in pre-nursing?

   chuff replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was a little fearful of being the oldest one in class, but there are MANY older people returning to school these days! I'm still taking my pre-reqs but a friend of mine who just started NS at the school I am applying to said that in her class of 32...

4. CNA cert expired...do I renew to help me get in NS?

   chuff posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got my CNA cert 10 years ago, and worked as a CNA for about 4 years, but the last 6 years I have worked away from the medical field and thus, my cert has expired. I have a full time job that brings in a pretty good salary and I can't quit because I...

5. Pre-Req's...Need Advice

   chuff replied to Ike Arumba's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am in the same situation and I agree with the other poster. You should take what is required for your first choice, then apply to that school, and if you don't get in you can take the other classes in time to apply for your second choice.

6. Tissue advice needed.

   chuff replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You can also go to youtube.com and search for educational videos on just about anything. I just typed in "epithelial tissue" and this was the first thing that popped up, but there was alot more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OT_qilIntY I have us...

   I am currently taking A&P II online (lecture and lab) as well as Psychology. Last semester I did A&P I (lecture & lab) and Eng. Comp I. So far I have enjoyed it and have had no problems. I have a 4.0 GPA and I have been out of school for ...

8. Apparently, I suck at critical thinking....

   chuff posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took an A&P II chapter test today on the endocrine system. This is the only test I will have in this class that only covered 1 chapter. All the rest cover 3 or more chapters. Well, I made an 80 on my test and that's the lowest grade I have made...

9. a & p

   chuff replied to ppmc's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The only biology I had was in high school - 15 years ago. A&P I was not that difficult. I am now on A&P II and while it's more difficult (to me) it has nothing to do with my lack of biology experience. It's just a matter of lots of info over ...

10. I am tired

    chuff replied to niali's topic in Pre-Nursing

    PurposebyDesign, I am also studying the Endocine System right now in A&P II, and it's alot of info to absorb. I got an A in A&P I and i don't remember it being this hard. What I have found though, is if you got to youtube.com and search for "...

11. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    chuff replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing

    NurseIn4, I know what you mean. I don't have any children, but my husband and I are in the process of adopting - which is alot of paperwork, meetings with social workers, and a ton of forms to fill out - on top of my classes - on top of my full time...

12. Microbiology OR Intro to Chemistry???

    chuff posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    My degree requirements state that I can substitute Intro to Chemistry for Microbiology if I want. Those of you that have taken these courses - what would you do if you could choose? I took chemistry in high school - 15 years ago - and passed with B. ...

    I'm 33 and in my second semester of pre-nursing. I have never been to college until know - went to work right after graduating high school with the intention of just taking a couple years off from school. Those couple years turned into 15! Anyway, I ...

    Hi! I am new to the boards and I am also taking A&P II along with Psychology and I work full time. I feel like I could pass out at my desk right now! Last semester, I took A&P I and English Comp I and I passed them both with A's and don't rem...
