1. Should I take Chemistry BEFORE I take A & P I ???

   missybear88 replied to Elizabeth K.'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   At my school, Biology or Chemistry is a prereq to A&P but chemistry is "strongly prefered". I took chem in spring quarter. I haven't taken A&P yet (registered for fall) but from some of the A&P study guides I have, I would be a lot farthe...

2. studying for a&p before the semester even started

   missybear88 replied to jeanttb's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am. I've got 6 weeks until Fall Quarter starts, best to get busy! I have faith I'll do well, between getting a head start and the fact that my mom is an RN and aced her A&P classes with an 'A'. AND my boyfriend's mom is in NS right now, so I've...

3. Taking A&P I Fall 2009?

   missybear88 replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Count me in! I just registered today for A&P, and that is ALL. As much as I want to take another class or 2 this quarter I've heard so many people tell me how hard this class is, and I want to make sure I get an A. Slow and steady wins the race. ...

4. Fall Schedule!

   missybear88 replied to TaraRae123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow, you all have some crazy schedules! I'm taking A&P I MTW 8-9:50. I'm working FT so I'm taking it slow this quarter because in Spring I had Chem and English while working 50+ hrs a week, and that was nuts. Next quarter it will be A&P II an...

6. Cheating on final

   missybear88 replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congratulations on your A for the class! I really hope Ann bombed the final, or that your instructor gives her a nice fat "0" for the grade.

7. Anyone waiting for admission Spring 2010?

   missybear88 replied to D.R.A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   Applications won't be ready till January for the Spring 2010 LPN program (I'm doing the LPN-RN bridge). All I need to get out of the way is A&P I & II and Psych II. I'm dreading the 3 month wait before I find out, lol. I can't wait, it'll be ...

   THIS. It's really quite simple: study hard + good time mgmt (ie not partying all the time) = GOOD GRADES! Genius concept!

9. A&P in high school vs. A&P in college...

   missybear88 replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yikes! That is a lot on your plate. Best of luck, you can do it if you really apply yourself. :) I'm also taking A&P this fall, I never took it in High School (except the brief overview in Health class) but from what I hear, the college course i...

10. Cheating on final

    missybear88 replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That's awful. I hope she's not going the Nursing route, can you imagine having a nurse take care of you that cheated her way through school? Scary. I had something similar happen in my Psychology class, a friend of mine was taking it with me last q...

12. Questions about entering nursing school

    missybear88 replied to <3nursing<3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm not sure about programs in Texas, but up here in WA we have to take the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) and pass with an 80 or higher to get into most of the Nursing programs. Google is your best friend, just look up all the Nursing Scho...

13. Tips for Chemistry in Summer?

    missybear88 replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Absolutely this. I've just finished chem this spring quarter (Got an A- and worked my butt off for it) and if you haven't taken a chemistry class in awhile, I'd brush up on the basics (atomic structure, isomers and ions, matter and energy, chemical ...

14. Taking A & P 1 this Fall

    missybear88 replied to littlebitark's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Count me in too! I'm only taking Psych over the summer so I have a little more free time to study A&P before Fall quarter. I want to get a head start, at least understand the basics. Luckily, my mom's an RN so I'll have help when I really need it...

15. Straight to RN Program or LPN?

    missybear88 replied to CPaulino's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm going the LPN route, then do the bridge to get my RN. For me, it's quicker this way. :)
