First week back! How did yours go?

I had Microbiology, AP II, college succes skills, and a weekend CPR class this week, everything went great. I especially liked the CPR for health providers class, it was very cool. I switched Micro teachers after the first class because the first prof was absolutely insane:chuckle :chuckle . How are your classes going?

What was insane about the teacher? Luckily you were able to switch. I had an insane A&P teacher last semester. My micro teacher seems good it's just the material that scares me especially the lab stuff.......:chair:

Good luck, you will do great!

I enjoyed this week. I dropped down to 7 credits this semester, because after last semester, I feel that I earned the break. I'm taking A&P2 and moral issues in health care. Both teachers are awesome. Both seem insane in a very good way. :)

So far, so good. I am taking Micro, Nutrition, Dev. Psych, and Intro to Lit.

I have all female teachers! How strange. I kind of like it though. One semester I had all male professors...anyway, right now I am already stressed beyond belief. I feel like all I think about is if I will get into nursing school. It is the last thing on my mind before I go to bed. I should get in, I DESERVE IT!

Hope everyone is having fun studying!:)

So far, not so good. I do understand what you're going through, tho. Both of my profs are females. They're great. I started nursing school this week and I'm STRESSED!!!!!! Thank God that word is DESSERTS backwards. I have been relying on those HEAVILY!!! :spam: The class is difficult, but exciting, but stressful, but good, but overwhelming. I have a bit of advice for you:

Cherish the free time you have now. You DO deserve to get into nursing school. Once you do, say "bye, bye " to your life.

stressful and went just okay. Looking forward to my short week next week!

I already feel like I have no life from school, so I can only imagine what it will be like when I move 35 minutes away from home to live for the first time...away from everyone and everything I know practically. I'm really going to miss my cat:(

(and my boyfriend of 3 years, lol, but I really will miss Minnie, my cat)

Thanks! As far as my teacher......she just seemed like she didn't want to be bothered with any of us, you know like she's sooo over teaching. Plus, she seemed really b**chy, LOL. The teacher I switched into is great, she's only been teaching for a couple of years and she really enjoys making the material click for you.

I'm loving the fact that this week is going to be short except for the fact that I was going to go to open lab on Monday:D

Sounds like you made the right move

hah! how true... i remember my micro days.

last week was perty good, actually. one of my classes is online (intro to sociology), so i can't complain about getting to participate in a "discussion" sitting in my jammies with mad hair and mismatched socks. the other class, intro to chemistry, only met once on monday - she said she didn't want to have a lab the first week, so no class on wednesday, and now tomorrow is mlk jr. day, so no class for us tomorrow, either. i still have to go to work, though.

i was surprised, though, in my chem class: our teacher had a little section on the first day about the metric system and its prefixes. somewhere along the road of my educational life, i learned about this: milli- means "thousand", centi- means "hundred", etc. i won't say i knew micro- and nano- offhand, but i did understand the concept that when you say "milliliter" it means that it is a thousandth of one liter, and a thousand milliliters equals one liter. or, that there are, say, 10 milligrams in one centigram, a thousand milligrams in one gram, etc. i was probably about one of two or three people in my class of thirty who was even familiar with this concept - most everyone else was looking at the teacher like she was speaking greek or else frantically looking at those of us who seemed to be "in the know" for help. a question like, "if you have 928 milliliters, how many liters is that?" put them in a tailspin. at 28, i'm actually one of the older students in the class - am i weird for knowing this already? i remember it being drilled into my head somewhere in middle or high school math (or at least one of my high school sciences - all of which i got sucko grades). worst yet, i was of no use to any of the people sitting around me - i know instinctively how to convert, but i couldn't begin to teach anyone else the actual steps to doing some of these conversions (decimeters to megameters, anyone?). :imbar

it's a great advantage to be familiar with the metric system. i remember one of my fellow students who had difficulty operating a meter stick in our chem class :) i gladly helped her. you will do great!

:chuckle mismatching socks.....you are not wearing socks to bed are you :chuckle

Hahaha... no! Only when I "go" to class...

It was every bit as bad as I thought it would be.

I have a BS but somehow managed to do so without taking psych or soc. So, I have to sit in these freshman-level classes with a bunch of 18-23 yr-olds. OK, I can deal. What I didn't anticipate is what a moron the professor would be. Really impressed with himself. This is at a regional campus of a large state university.

I can put up with anything one night a week for one semester, I guess, and I can feed him back the bullsh*t he hands out and get a decent grade, but I wish I could skip the bullsh*t classes and get to the good stuff!
