1. Unwise to get married?

   Melanie19877 replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Just wanted to throw my opinion in. I have been with my fiance' for 4.5 years. After about three I felt the "urge" to get engaged and start planning a wedding. I have always wanted a long engagement. We have now been engaged for over a year. Once I s...

2. past chem takers

   Melanie19877 replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congrats! That's awesome! I too passed with a C and I am never happy with a C, but for this class I was! It was such a relief for me!

3. Repeating a course, what are the chances the exams are going to be the same?

   Melanie19877 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My anatomy instructor uses basically all the same tests each semester. He has several different tests for each of his classes (micro, physio, genetics, anatomy) and they differ a little but not much. He has so many classes he doesn't really have time...

4. past chem takers

   Melanie19877 replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Chemistry was extremely hard for me. I barely passed the class and ended with a C. The only thing to do is retake it if you don't pass it. Try not to stress over it. It's just one class. Study more. I know that may seem hard since you said you basica...

5. please give me motivation

   Melanie19877 replied to supaflyz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I attend NSUS in LA. Our school only does our GPA by our core classes. Meaning anything that doesn't count towards our degree doesn't count towards our GPA. We do not have to do community service but it helps to get you jobs, possibly. (Has nothing t...

6. Nutrition Summer 2010

   Melanie19877 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just finished this class. I found it extremely boring, and I love nutrition! The end of our book was a little more interesting but not much. It was an easy A for me. Keep up with the text and lecture and you'll do great.

7. How are you celebrating the end of Spring finals?

   Melanie19877 replied to letsseehere's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Just finished my semester last night. Not 100% happy with my first semesters grades but I know what I need to do to change that from now on. I have a week off before starting summer classes. Tonight I am relaxing watching a movie and ordering in with...

8. NP vs. PA

   Melanie19877 replied to Den1978's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think it really just depends on what side you want to work on. NP is more on the nursing side and PA is more or the doctor side. I'm going to go for NP once I get my BSN. You can have your own practice etc. I looked them up quite a while ago. There...

9. Is it better to take microbiology after anatomy and physiology?

   Melanie19877 replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It doesn't matter what order you take them unless your school requires it. (Which it sounds like your's does not) Anatomy may help a little with understanding phys but everything should be right there in the book for you anyway.

10. What does it take to be a CNA?

    Melanie19877 replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Like some others said there are some places you have to pay up to 1000 dollars and others that will train you or pay for you to be trained. I did my CNA classes in highschool. My license has expired. I regret everyday not renewing it. Yes it is the...

11. High debt but want to change careers

    Melanie19877 replied to mmoton's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree that the debt will be there regardless... so why not do something that makes you happy and possibly makes you more money. I'm taking prereq's right now and I'm working. When I get into clinicals that will be a different story. I hope to not b...

12. First day of CNA Clinicals!

    Melanie19877 replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Glad you enjoyed your first day! I took the classes to become a CNA in highschool. I was so nervous my first day. I thought I was going to hurt someone or be completely grossed out, but my experience was awesome! I have to say...those classes and cl...

13. A and P Drama

    Melanie19877 replied to Niki_lccc_Stluke's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't be so hard on yourself. If you look around on this site and possibly look around on google you can find things that can help you. Do you know how you learn? Are you a hands on person or a person who can read something and make since of it. Do w...

14. Have a BS in Biology now - what's next? ASN or BSN? HELP!

    Melanie19877 replied to Guest405338's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Above posts are correct. It basically depends on what you want to do with your degree. Are you going to further onto a masters? Is that even a small possibility? Def go for bachelor degree.

15. How many times did you have to take A & P to get your "A" grade?

    Melanie19877 replied to pipsi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't let anyone discourage you for wanting to go into this career. People with children do it all the time. Most of the people I socialize with at school have kids. This is one of the most rewarding fields to work in. Your child may not verbalize t...
