4. Refusing to dissect in A&P or Microbiology?

   Derls replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing

   As far as Micro, like everyone has said, they are way too small to dissect.... BUT I did have to swab... shall i say the inside where the sun don't shine... to see what type of bacteria lives there.. :***: ANYWAYS I see your point about your beliefs ...

5. Need Teas 5 testing advice!

   Derls replied to Derls's topic in TEAS

   Hey tcl0045! Thanks for the advice! I will definitely grab the McGraw-Hill book! I personally don't have trouble with math, I just need to brush up on it as I may have forgotten some geometry formulas. I had recently took an Intermediate Algebra co...

6. Need Teas 5 testing advice!

   Derls posted a topic in TEAS

   I haven't got a response from the school that I've applied to just yet. The other school that I want to apply for in the future has a multi-criteria point system. Part of that is the Teas 5 test score. I've calculated my GPA and if I get at least a...

8. AP1, any tips?

   Derls replied to RainbowDash's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If possible, ask the teacher if there is a "free lab" where you can just go to lab and just study the anatomy parts and function, that way you cover the visual part of learning. Also those same parts are most likely going to be on the exam so at lea...

9. Lottery System...How does it work?

   Derls replied to Derls's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yep! even if you turned in the Sac City App (multi-criteria) you get into a lottery based system. ARC is just lottery based... I just wished that it's true that your name gets put in more times each time you apply. Oh the frustration! So I also appli...

10. Lottery System...How does it work?

    Derls replied to Derls's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Soxgirl, I see your point as well. As I have explained on a previous post that I knew someone with some great grades and couldnt handle the real deal and vice versa. I believe the multi-criteria system sounds fair to be qualified to apply. You get ...

12. Lottery System...How does it work?

    Derls replied to Derls's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Saysfaa, you make a good point in schools having a variety of systems. I've known someone who is excellent with grades, tests...basically smart with books BUT, when it comes to the work industry, she panicked, got stressed, and had a different outlo...

13. Lottery System...How does it work?

    Derls posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just submitted my nursing application and my school does the lottery system. I forgot how many times I've applied to this program... 3? 4? I don't know, but I know more than twice. I've read their statistics and mentioned that people that are ap...

15. What classes should I take?

    Derls replied to jm08168's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I will tell you one thing, A&P II and Micro has a whole lot of material to be studying as it takes hours of memorization and understanding. I would recommend taking the A&P an micro courses before taking your nursing courses. That way, you w...
