1. Chemistry Fall 2010

   justbee replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I whined earlier in this thread about the Mastering Chemistry homework that has to be done each week. I guess I have to eat my words, the homework is definitely helping me, and is probably the reason I went from a 70 to a 97 on my tests. I don't kn...

2. Micro Fall 2010

   justbee replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We just had a test on the DNA/genetics chapter, control of microbial growth and parts of another chapter. I got a low B, which is better than I expected. I think this test will be curved since no one got an A. I think I understand the material, bu...

3. Chemistry Fall 2010

   justbee replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just got my second test score today, an A! After getting a low C on the first test I am psyched that I got such a good grade. I studied a lot, there are no shortcuts for me in this class. I have to review and practice a lot, so i'ts turning into...

4. waiting on admission or rejection (oh my nerves!)

   justbee replied to scrubasaurus's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey, I am also waiting, impatiently I might add. The application window is Sept. 1 to Sept. 30 and then about 6 weeks to receive a letter. Sometime in there, they will be requesting personal interviews. So I am waiting for the last 7 days of Septe...

   justbee replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh that stinks. I don't have lab reports in Micro, just quizzes thank goodness. Hang in there, you can do it. Best, L.

6. Chemistry Fall 2010

   justbee replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   How is everyone doing in lab? We turn in reports from a lab manual and I just got my first lab back today with an okay grade, but no feedback or anything marked wrong on the actual report. I thought I did a very thorough job, but the professor said...

7. Volunteer Hospital Interview? What do I wear

   justbee replied to RunawayN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When I volunteered, I followed the attire of the coordinator and other office workers at the hospital, which was business casual. I didn't wear a dress, but slacks and a dress shirt for the orientation part and the initial intro and interview. I th...

8. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

   justbee replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in New Nurse

   Hmmm, I am wondering the same thing. The only reason I might be interested is for scholarships, although one of my professors who I respect very much said I should join. I hope some of the other students will share their experiences.

9. Micro Fall 2010

   justbee replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So how is Micro for everyone? We had our first test last week on Ch. 1-4 in the Tortora book. Chapter 5 is starting off pretty intense. So far, I am really enjoying the lab part, we've done gram stains, and made countless slides and plates. Best, ...

10. Chemistry Fall 2010

    justbee replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey DahliaDaisy, I hear you girl. That stupid introduction to the homework was making me want to tear my hair out. LovelyMama, did you say bonus points? I didn't get any stinking bonus points:confused:. Repeat after me...Pearson is evil...Pearson i...

11. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    justbee replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It depends. My A&P I class had more than 50% drop rate. Why? I think some, the people that showed for only one or two classes thought the professor was a jerk and indicated they would take it with a different professor. Some stuck it out to th...

12. Tips on getting volunteer experience

    justbee replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sign up as a volunteer and ask for any assignments that would give you exposure to clinical areas. In my experience, if you are a student, they try to get you into an area that is relevant to the education you are pursuing. It was a whole process,...

13. First A&P 1 test tomorrow--any advice/tips?

    justbee replied to pixiesandpolkadots's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This website url http://www.pc.ctc.edu/hart/ has similar photomicrographs to the Atlas of the Human Body we used in our lab. These are the kinds of photos we had to identify along with knowing where in the body these tissues would be found. HTH, best...

14. Chemistry Fall 2010

    justbee replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am in my second week of chem class. So far, I really like the professor. However 25% of our grade is online homework. It supposedly corresponds to the problems in the book. It does, sort of. The online homework will take the same question and ...

15. Index cards, how do you make them work for you

    justbee replied to justbee's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wow, those are all great ideas. I like the systematic way about the pile you know cold vs. the one where you need to go over the concept again. I tried to make handwritten cards back in A&P as I was reading the book, but by the time I wrote the...
