   Since I'm twiddling my thumbs also, I'm taking Medical Terminology and Pharmacology Math at the local community college. Spanish would be awesome to continue (which is my Minor). Good luck!!!!

   onetallgirl replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Here's what I do, and I just get the cheap weekly planner at my school (I think they are $5 or so), I color code each class I'm taking, based on file folders. I have highlighters that roughly match the color scheme. The first week of classes, after I...

8. What class to take with Chemistry?

   onetallgirl replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing

   What kind of Chemistry is it? Is it just general Chem? Our chemistry series was a combo of Chem/Biochem/Organic Chemistry, without a lab (the lab portion was in the second semester). It's tough because of the breadth of course material, but manageabl...

9. Cheating pre-nursing students

   onetallgirl replied to buttons93's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know that with our teacher, our syllabus states that the first incident is an F on that assignment/test, and a second is expulsion from the class. I'm pretty sure that both incidents are reported to the dean/records. Of course, there are always sus...
