My top tips would be using the study site for the book if it has one online. Do the practice tests, quizzes, etc. I found excellent videos on youtube for lab practical models as well as concepts I...

I just finished A&P I and II with As. I'm an older student so I was very intimidated by the class before it started. It IS hard but it is very interesting and absolutely doable. My top tips would...

I agree on taking pictures in lab. I bought a galaxy note 2 specifically so i could take a pix and then label the backside right there in lab. Also going on youtube helped. For example if you are...

I actually found A&P 2 easier. I took the same professor which definitely helped. I found that looking up videos on youtube for practicals and for topics in lecture that I didn't quite understand...

I am in A&P now and I love it. My teacher is referred to as "Dr. Death" on my campus because of the sheer number of people that drop out. We started out with a class of 50 and now there are probably...

I took Micro years ago with an A. My best study tool was the flashcards that I made and studied every single day. Since it has been more than 4 years since i took it i have to take again in the...

After a LOT of hurdles and discouragement I finally got accepted into my community college and registered for classes today. I will begin finishing up my pre-reqs starting in two weeks. I got a...

Thank you! It is good to know that you made it out of the LS classes and are where you want to be. I am fortunate in that I only have to take one LP course before college algebra so it shouldn't...

They won't let me talk to an advisor until I am officially accepted which as of last check hasn't happened. This is taking FOREVER. I saw today that my recent math compass is posted but my status...

I totally understand what you are saying. I had to take a compass math exam last month to even be admitted to the remedial courses in math. I needed a 20 and got a 19. Someone on this thread...

Thanks for the encouragement and I'm definitely not down about it. It is an unfortunate policy change because I know of several people my age that would love to become nurses now but now have said...

I have read all the comments on your post and as a parent myself I know I just want to see my kids doing SOMETHING. My experience has taught me that the only thing more scary than moving forward is...

Kat, I completely understand where you are coming from. I'm 47 and so want to be a nurse. I do great in science courses but math is my nemesis. I recently had to take a compass math test to be...

My school does offer both so I will check on it. Thanks for all the great info! :)

I know that I did some research here in GA and our hospital is no longer hiring LPNs at all and most are employed at long term care facilities so I would check in my area. You can probably go on the...

i have thought of the phlebotomy route while I finish up my pre-reqs since I will have about a year of waiting to go to clinicals. are you able to take the phlebotomy courses while you are taking...

That was a pretty close score though..only five points away! When are you able to take it again?

I actually have that book and others. I start with a private tutor tomorrow and I'm retaking the compass on July 18th. God willing, I will get that extra point. :)
