1. Prerequisite Classes Where Can I Take?

   AliF replied to Radio's topic in Excelsior

   I am almost positive that information literacy has to be taken via Excelsior for all their degree programs now. The rest can (probably, check with them) be taken anywhere. I transferred in my A&P but for a general studies degree completion, so yo...

2. Summer Classes a Good Idea?

   AliF replied to VIMom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think it's fine to take summer classes. I took an A&P class last semester as an 8 week class and while it was pretty intense, it knocked it out quickly and in some ways I think it was better because I was able to really focus on it and learned ...

3. Help!!! A&P has started!!!!!!

   AliF replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, flash cards! I stopped making them towards the end of A&P 1 because I wasn't sure how much they were helping, and my grade dropped. And ask your teacher what information will be covered on the test. Some will let you know which parts to conc...

4. Well....I have my books....now I'm nervous! LOL

   AliF replied to charlene4905's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You are smart enough! I hope you have a great semester!

5. Non-nursing Bachelors to ADN

   AliF replied to youngwildfree's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The other thing to consider, if you're wanting to go further in your education, is that many master's programs will accept you if you have an ADN + BA/BS- so you might be able to go straight from ADN to master's level coursework with no stop for fini...

6. LPN to RN Program at NVCC, VA

   AliF replied to AVANURSE1's topic in Virginia

   I took Bio 141 online as an 8 week class. It went really well, they give you all the materials you need to succeed. I was signed up for Bio 142, but dropped it last minute since we had to list our house for sale and I knew I wouldn't have time to ded...

7. Anatomy and Physiology 1, C average??? Should I Withdrawl or continue??

   AliF replied to foxycats's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, bail. A D will look worse than a W. People withdraw for all sorts of reasons, it doesn't have to be because you're not doing well.

8. A&P - Lecture exams v. Lab Practicals

   AliF replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I do great on the labeling, but have a harder time with physiology.

9. Non classroom nursing school setting?

   AliF replied to aeduarte's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Diploma programs give you more clinical hours, and there are hybrid programs where you can do didactic learning online, and clinicals in person.

10. I need help deciding if I should relocate

    AliF replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Run away from him. I don't have to know you to know you're worth better treatment. Little newsflash for him- child support isn't optional.

11. advice for someone whose GPA is less than desirable?

    AliF replied to laruhpea's topic in General Students

    I've talked to lots of admissions people, and the general consensus is that new grades matter much more than old ones. The schools that look at your older GPA almost exclusively seem to be public, so I suggest looking into private universities. There...

12. Help Finding a School

    AliF replied to ryanm7277's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Apply at Chamberlain, they don't require any pre-reqs.

13. What? Really?

    AliF replied to motivated2nurse's topic in Emergency

    Being in charge really isn't that fun, and it certainly won't help your social life. Any position (I'm not a nurse yet) where you are in charge of your coworkers is tough. I never liked being management, because I really don't care about who stole wh...

14. Has anyone taken Physio in the Summer?

    AliF replied to ctan310's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm going to the be dissenter and say that while I haven't taken physio yet, I really really like taking 8 week classes. It's condensed, but if you only take 1-2 classes at a time, you're able to really focus on learning those things and not worry ab...

15. A and P getting harder during midterms and on?

    AliF replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It does get harder. Partially because things get more complicated, but also because you start having to rely on the previously learned information. And if you didn't learn it well the first time, it's really tough. It's totally doable though! Good l...
