Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

It's that time!

How is everyone? What classes are you taking this fall?

I'm not taking classes this fall - I'm all done. I'm just in the waiting period to hear back about my applications. I was hoping to hear something this week from one of the schools, but word on the street is that it's going to take a "couple more weeks".

I'm trying to distract myself, but it's hard. Just going to the gym, taking my girls fun places and planning our cruise for November.

Hope everyone is well!

I've still yet to get far studying to CLEP US History 1. Money is getting pretty tight. Initially I wanted to CLEP late August, but my car decided to act up. That's $500 down. Luckily the new job starts in 9 days. It's not soon enough, but I'll try and remain patient. I'll also try to squeeze in some time in the library, so I can be more productive.

Started my first semester of Nursing school on August 21. I'm taking Essentials in Nursing and Health Assessment. I go to a Christian University so I'm also required to take the New Testament and Old Testament. I'm taking the New testament this semester along with the two nursing classes. So far so good.

I thought the lab part of Micro was SO fun! It was one of my favorite classes.

So far, I hated micro lol

Honestly, I don't like it at all but I suppose it's too soon to judge. I should wait a couple more weeks.

It'll depend a lot on the teacher. Mine was awesome.

I agree

My instructor talks about unrelated subjects and doesn't really teach

The first week or two of micro was very boring. It was all about learning aseptic technique, but it was very useful! Micro lab was by far my favorite science. I loved taking samples and using those techniques to grow the cultures on agar plates. My favorite part was our final project, using all the skills from the quarter to identify our mystery bacteria.

I've been looking forward to when this thread would pop up, thanks Jen

It's all systems go on this front - 5 classes, plus working full-time as a tutor on campus :(

My classes are:

Intro to Philosophy

Lifespan Psychology [Hybrid]

Fundementals of Speech - Was hoping to avoid having to take this one... Not so lucky ;(

English Comp2 - I have to take this for credit, even though I tutor this subject #WoeIsMe

Algebra and Trigenometry [Online] - (took this instead of pre-calc because it satisfied requirements for my Bachelors, but we didn't have any decent pre-calc Professors posted this semester :( )

Thankfully it's not been too rough so far, but it will get pretty hectic in the future - I'm glad that I can study while I'm at work as long as I don't have any clients. If I keep plowing through my trig coursework, I can hopefully finish the course early and leave more time for my final projects! :o

Good luck to everyone, and I hope you hear something back soon, Jen!

Hey all! I hope everyone is having a successful semester. I took my first A&P test last week and boy was it tougher than I anticipated. I squeaked by with a low A( 91.2) and am glad the first test is out of the way and I know his testing format. Hope to hear about all of your successes!

Well the first lecture exams are not starting off on quite the right foot:

A&P II: 81%

Microbiology: 78.25%

College Algebra is up next on Wednesday and A&P II lab exam on Saturday.

The first tests were always the most difficult for me with a new teacher - I didn't know how to study quite yet. You'll get there.

For those that didn't know, I was accepted to my first choice nursing school.

Learning all the bones and features of the bones of the axial and appendicular skeleton has been overwhelming! How did you all manage it?! Ive been trying to chunk the info. I'm definitely a bigger fan of the physiology part of class than the anatomy, it bores me to tears!
