1. Summer 2012 - Check in

   jdlabadia replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Got my final grade for Chem class and ended up with a B. Considering my professor was awful and I taught myself everything, I'm pretty proud of the turn out. I'm mailing off my nursing school application tomorrow and now I will spend the rest of my s...

2. Summer 2012 - Check in

   jdlabadia replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi All! Today was my last day for summer class (Gen Chem). It was one of the most brutal tests I have taken so far. I am finally done and can breathe a sigh of relief. I have to wait for my final grade which will be released on Thursday and then I ca...

3. Summer 2012 - Check in

   jdlabadia replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My last day for my summer class will be next Monday the 18th. So far we had our first exam 2 weeks ago on the first 6 chapters and I came out of it with a B. Chem class drives me crazy especially since it's fast paced but I'm luckily hanging on. This...

4. Is 31 too old to start a nursing career?

   jdlabadia replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Not old at all! I am in the same boat as you. I'm turning 29 in 2 months. This summer semester I'm just finishing my pre-requisites and applying to hopefully get in to the evening program in January of 2013 so I most likely won't be done with my A.A....

5. Summer 2012 - Check in

   jdlabadia replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm on my second week of summer class for Chem 101. I'm still trying to grasp conversions while doing all the chapters at a high speed. I feel a little behind but I know I will eventually get it. I've been cramming like crazy to get through the class...

6. A&P 1 what would you do?

   jdlabadia replied to southphilly_chic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wouldn't retake it. I got a C+ as my final grade due to personal issues affecting my school work. I would just do better in A&P 2 and study everything you learned from the class again. I'm going to spend my time this summer going over notes on ...

7. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

   jdlabadia replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This will probably be the last check in for me - we had our final exam on Monday. A&P is now done for me until this fall when I take A&P II. The final was 50 questions, multiple choice strictly on the CNS, PNS, brain structure and functions....

8. If I could go back to when I started college, I would have choosen nursing.

   jdlabadia replied to MissNancy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I will be 29 in a few months and I just started my pre-req's to hopefully get into the nursing program next year. Believe me, it's never too late. You are super young to do the degree you are trying to do now and then get into the ASN program later o...

9. General Chemistry

   jdlabadia replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, everyone is different. Each person will handle the pace in their own way. It might be overwhelming at first but you have to figure out how to manage it. Many people here in the forums are taking 2-3 summer classes on top of working or other res...

10. General Chemistry

    jdlabadia replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Starting next week I will be taking General Chem for summer session and I'm very hopeful for it. It all depends on how dedicated you are. I will have plenty of time for it since I'm not working so it's perfect. I was out of school for a little over 8...

11. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    jdlabadia replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Tonight was our last ever lecture night. We ended the class with Chapter 12, which is the Central Nervous System - stopped it at the blood brain barrier and just reviewed the last two chapters for the final. Monday will be our final exam and I will b...

12. What classes are you taking in the Fall 2012?

    jdlabadia replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Currently I have A&P 2 scheduled for Fall but if I get into the nursing program near my home, then I will be starting the official nursing classes. *crossing fingers*

13. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    jdlabadia replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Update: My class is now winding down. We just need to read one chapter and the semester is over. We had an open book exam this past Monday and let me tell you, that was one of the hardest exams thus far. Everyone in my class was expecting it to be gr...

14. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    jdlabadia replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Update: Next Monday is our third exam. It will include bone/muscle tissue, the skeleton, joints, and muscle tissue. On Wednesday we finally did dissection as our professor would rather us dissect closer to the end of classes so we know what we're loo...

15. How many schools are you applying to?

    jdlabadia replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm applying to two schools. The college I'm currently attending has an ADN program that will start in January 2013 but all pre-reqs need to be done before Summer II sessions and another school is right near me and they have rolling admission so I'm ...
