1. Taking Math Online

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took MAT070 (beginner's algebra college course) online and had no problems with it. I'm not good at math either, but I just read the textbook, did the activities and spent alot of time working on each section until I "got it". I then went on to t...

2. Biology before Anat 1

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I haven't been in high school in 12 years and I am taking general biology (111) and a&p I at the SAME TIME! It has definitely been a struggle, especially those first few weeks but I read and studied and asked questions and I'm doing better than ...

3. Student loans for more than cost of attendance

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to emmasma's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was able to get the maximum pell and maximum stafford loans (5300 roughly for the pell and 9500 for the stafford loans). It may sound like alot, but that's for the whole year and is my only source of income so it's definitely hard to make it stret...

4. Question about psych class - Human Development

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to pipsi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sounds excessive to me, but I am just taking online general psych right now - dev psych is next semester for me. I can tell you that in my general psych, we read one chapter a week, have a quiz on that chapter, a mid-term and a final (non-cumulative...

5. A&P 1 students,,,, How ya doing?

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You really hit the nail on the head! I said something similar on another thread. My A&P teacher told us right out of his own mouth that the purpose of aspiring nursing students taking A&P prior to entering the program is to "weed out" those...

6. A&P 1 students,,,, How ya doing?

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congrats on getting an A on your first test! My A&P is going great! I was so lost that first few weeks when it was all about chemistry and stuff becuase I haven't done anything remotely like that since high school (I'm 30!). Now that we've mov...

7. A&P I is not going well

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm sorry you're having a problem with your professor. I agree with the others that say you should contact the dean or someone about it because you're paying for her to teach you. As for the class average being an F, that isn't good at all. In my ...

8. Taking A&P I Fall 2009?

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We're using Seeley's Principles of A&P (1st ed.)! So far the book is pretty good and they have tons of online resources as well, including animations and games, which has been super helpful. My instructor is one of the best at the college - has...

9. This one is stumping me

   Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to Wulfie's topic in Student Assist

   Independent variable would be the amount of time spent in the lab each week, because that is what you would vary for each of the participants (one person might spend 3 hours, one person might spend 6 hours, etc.). I am not sure what the dependent va...

10. So Frustrated! (Vent)

    Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks to you both! You're right - I think now that I have seen how his tests are and where he derives his questions from, I'll know where to focus my studying!

11. So Frustrated! (Vent)

    Hoping2BeStudent2010 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sorry for the vent, I'm just frustrated with some of my classes. I'm taking A&P I, English, Biology, Psychology and Intro to Computers. I'm annoyed with the teaching styles of some instructors. It's like they are intentionally trying to trick ...

12. A&P2 vent

    Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to mnmcbm's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have an instructor that does sorta the same thing (not A&P though). He is very monotone and talks "at" the class rather than "to" us. He doesn't interact with us, doesn't ask questions, try to make it fun or interesting. Honestly I could jus...

13. I would like to be a nurse

    Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing

    OH I almost forgot to answer #3. Pie, definitely!

14. I would like to be a nurse

    Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Congrats on your decision!!! I'm also in the pre-nursing track, but I'm a female so I can't really answer your first question - no clue there. As for number two, you could possibly get a job in a healthcare setting in an administrative position, bu...

15. Formula to Calculate the Number of Valence Electrons

    Hoping2BeStudent2010 replied to SAHMBACK2SCHOOL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm in the same boat. I failed high school Chemistry. Here's what I have managed to grasp though. An atom can have 2 electrons in the first shell, and up to 8 electrons on each shell thereafter. The atom wants to fill up its shells to 8 so that i...
