1. Should I take Chem before taking Microbiology?

   gams77 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Exactly. I do not recall needing to "know" much Chem for Micro. It was in-depth for sure, but in a different way and I loved it. Probably one of my favorite courses. I guess it depends on the school and how it is taught.

2. Should I take Chem before taking Microbiology?

   gams77 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took Micro before General Chem 1 and 2. I did fine, got an A. I guess it just depends on the curriculum. I did horribly at Chem, lol. I loved Micro, the study of all the bacterium, growing them, etc. So, it was interesting to me so I excelled. I g...

   gams77 replied to Nurse Allison's topic in General Students

   I am so sorry about your husband. Ouch! I am not sure I could go on like you are. At least you are. I have a hard time with trying not to plagiarize. Its very difficult for me to read and then report on it (and I was honors English in college) and no...

4. Gain or Lose Weight?

   gams77 replied to gams77's topic in General Students

   Yes, I have to walk and work out and when I do, I honestly feel so much better. I just cannot see fitting in the time but I guess I will have to. I have never been one of those that can just "diet", I have to have exercise. Thanks to everyone, good a...

5. Gain or Lose Weight?

   gams77 replied to gams77's topic in General Students

   I guess it depends on the stress. With "personal" issues, I tend to not eat, which I will either gain or lose, depending on how long it goes on. The stress of studying, I EAT! I am trying to get back to the low carb thing but you know...not many good...

6. Gain or Lose Weight?

   gams77 replied to gams77's topic in General Students

   When I am busy, I do forget to eat but it seems I gain weight when I do not eat. I have to eat several meals through the day. I was just hoping the activity of clinicals would help. Then again, I gain if I eat too much...so either way, haha!

8. Gain or Lose Weight?

   gams77 replied to gams77's topic in General Students

   Oh boy. Yeah, well I have NO metabolism. I have to eat strictly low-carb and get tons of exercise to look decent. Jobs that I have worked on my feet, I lost weight, so I had hoped clinicals would help. I am one of those that I will munch while studyi...

   gams77 replied to ese1212's topic in General Students

   Congratulations! I got the news a couple of months ago. I still don't know what to feel! I am nervous and hoping I do okay. This is something I have worked towards for many years, through so many obstacles. Yes, I am happy but I guess I am still in s...

10. Gain or Lose Weight?

    gams77 posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, I have gained so much weight this past semester while finishing up prereqs. I will be starting an RN program in January (yay!) and was curious as to whether anyone has had issues with gaining weight during school or if perhaps its easier to los...

12. Southern University SON???

    gams77 replied to gams77's topic in Louisiana

    Oh okay, good, thanks for that info! I am even thinking about Baton Rouge General diploma program because you can always go later to a BSN type program after. I wonder how hard General is to get in? I will go ahead and enroll for that Chem course thi...

13. Southern University SON???

    gams77 replied to gams77's topic in Louisiana

    I just don't even know where to get started! I wonder if Southern shows preference toward students who take the pre-req's there or if it's okay to take them elsewhere like at BRCC. I don't even know if BRCC has the same Chemistry courses that are com...

14. Southern University SON???

    gams77 replied to gams77's topic in Louisiana

    Hey, thanks for the additional information. I see now that the General Chemistry they are speaking of is different from the two I took. I checked the catalog. What I had taken was harder, same as Chem 132/133. They killed my GPA, I got a C in both! I...

    gams77 replied to gams77's topic in Louisiana

    Thanks for the information! I called Southern and got someone in the BSN department but she said she did not know of any time limits on the courses already taken and to call Admissions. I called Admissions and they said there was no time limit BUT th...
