Biology Help- Laguardia community college

You may be able to find the syllabus on your school's website.

Look under Biology. Don't be nervous, it's only acquired knowledge;

oppose to problem solving like math. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice... the problem is.. its not just Biology its A&P and I really need this class to get into the nursing program. THat's the main reason why i'm so nervous and I did look for the sylllabus but I only found the Lab syllabus. There's nothing for the lecture course. I just want to have an idea so I know what I should be reading a head of time.

A&P is also simply acquired knowledge. If you read (read until you understand), take good notes, study, and get a tutor if needed, you'll do just fine. It would also be very helpful to say good bye to any anxieties you have for the intensive session. I also took the intensive A&P II over the summer. I found that it was easier for me to stay focused on the challenge at hand because there wasn't an opportunity to fall behind.

I took my pre-reqs at cuny and I was able to get my science syllabus from the website. It's a good idea to start your readings before the semester begins. Once again, good luck!

THanks, I really appreciate the help. Yea i definitely need to get rid of this anxiety. Oh wow you took all your pre-req at the cunys schools that good. ARe you still attending a Cuny school for nursing or are you in a private school now?

I'm also taking this medical dosage class and tried emailing my prof to ask about the tablet and Caplets solutions calculation. I'm so unsure if I should leave it in decimal form or in fractions b/c some answers are 1 1/2 and other are like 1.5 not sure which to stick with.. oh and some answers are like 2.60 not sure if I should round it up or leave in decimal form. Do you still remember.. I tried researching this and checking the book but it doesn't say.

I'll be attending Phillips Beth Israel in January. I'll be taking the math for medications in my nursing program, so unfortunately I'm unable to help you. Hopefully you're professor will contact you soon.

wow that is really good. Is there an extrance exam that you have to take in order to be accepted into the beth isreal school? How much is the tuition there? How you come you didn't stick with a Cuny School?

Here's a link for the BI thread that was started last Spring.

You may find it inspirational.

Hi i saw the posting.. seems interesting. I would like to try out for that school but i'm not sure about how much the tuition is.. I am going for my LPN at laguardia and hoping to get in next fall.. after that I might go for my RN.. that's the easiest way to get into the RN program if I go through LPN first even through the process is long. IF i get an A in both classes i'm taking this semester and an A for A&P1 in January my overall GPA should be around 3.93 which should almost guarantee me to get into the program.. fingers crossed.
