1. Spring '13 & Summer '13 Class load

   SakuraChan replied to pda1984's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Your Spring Semester sounds completely fine! I'm doing two science classes during the spring...haha! Your summer schedule looks a bit intense though! At my CC, due to budget cuts in CA, we can only take a maximum of 8 units so I'm debating whether ...

2. What 2 science classes would you take?

   SakuraChan replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would suggest BioChem and A&P II. That BioChem class sounds equivalent to my CC's "Chemistry of Life" class which is General Chem/BioChem/Organic Chem, which is what I'm taking next semester! I'll be taking Microbio over the summer! EDIT: The ...

3. Spring schedule too much?

   SakuraChan replied to Lizzyalligator's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you'll be fine, but like the above posters have mentioned, only you know if you'll be able to handle it. Since you don't have a job and just are focusing on school though, I think you'll be fine! I have a similar schedule! I'm going to tak...

4. A&P if you've never taken chemistry

   SakuraChan replied to funtimes's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm currently on my first semester of A&P and seriously...at least for me...knowing Biology and Chemistry did not make a difference to me. Perhaps because of the basic stuff that we re-learned was just review...? Honestly, I think it depends on ...

5. Spring 2013...Advice Needed!

   SakuraChan posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello everyone! (: I hope everyone is having a good start to the week! Tomorrow is my registration date! (Ek, I have priority registration because I'm in my college's honors program). Anyways...I was wondering if you'd like to give me some ...

6. UCLA hiring process

   SakuraChan replied to loveit's topic in California

   Getting any job inside of UCLA is tough! I used to work as a work-study student there and seriously, the only way you would get a job is by being "in" AKA you were transferring departments/already in the UCLA system. Best of luck to all of you! I kn...

7. State of discouragement, just feel like venting!

   SakuraChan replied to RM27's topic in General Students

   I can honestly say that I know 1000000000%+ infinity&beyond what you're feeling right now. This is going to be long...but this is my story...LOL... My dad's side of the family, when it comes to the females, all of my cousins have either: dropped...

8. Spring 2013

   SakuraChan replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Chelsea...a lot of people (probably OFF the forums) would think we're crazy for taking two science classes. ;P I know A&P II is going to be difficult...and if I decide to take CHEM lab....oh gosh, LMAO. I'll be in class literally from 8AM-8PM. ...

9. Spring 2013

   SakuraChan replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Aah! My registration date is next Tuesday and I'm freaking out! (I'm in the honors program at my CCC too!) Luckily, I contacted my Honors counselor and thankfully (SO thankful) she's having walk-in appointments tomorrow.... But anyways...my schedu...

10. Anyone have experience taking online nursing prerequisites? Specially at MGCCC?

    SakuraChan replied to spellma's topic in Mississippi

    Wow! That's SO crazy! A&P is already hectic enough as it is going to campus....I can't ever imagine doing it online....although I might have gone for it...LOL. All I have to say is...definitely good luck, and please...even though it's online, a...

11. Feeling really down in the dumps and friend-less in nursing school...advice needed

    SakuraChan replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    I definitely know what you're going through. After deciding that I was going to go the medical route and started taking my science pre-reqs (Chem, BioChem, OChem, Biology, etc) I realized that people whom I thought were my "friends" were only there ...

12. help! pre-req grades

    SakuraChan replied to Carnm's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know I might be in the minority here...but I would go with the "W". As someone who has gotten into UCLA for Pre-Med and has had one W...I would rather take the W than a B-. Plus I've also worked for Graduate Admissions (for a department in UCLA)...

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

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

    Wow! This thread is so long...lol! I'm just responding to the OP! In my A&P class we had to "dissect" a cat and we look at a cadaver (given to us by a local hospital) right from the day #1 of the semester (no joke!). I do know ONE student in my...

14. A&P I, Psych Lifespan, Statistics

    SakuraChan replied to stephanne's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I definitely think you'll be fine! A lot of people stress that A&P shouldn't be taken with hard classes, but you seem to have your priorities in order! And yes, I agree--Statistics and A&P will take up most of your time! Prepare for some ...

15. Taking A&P in Spring 2013....HELP?

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

    Hello there! I'm actually on my first semester of A&P! Let me tell you that you are doing yourself a favor by being prepared early! I wish I would have done the same! Anyways...like the posters above me, I definitely recommend you getting the t...
