I would like to join. I start on Jan. 17th. We do not get our books until the week before class. We have a textbook rental place, so I don't have to buy mine! What is involved in this club....I am a forum virgin.:blushkiss Thanks!

LOL! Welcome! 18! There is nothing really difficult involved in the "club"; it's just a place/common thread to ask questions and seek support/camaraderie when you need it. It's also a handy place to vent with people who are going through the same things as you are! It's also great that it's a sticky so it will never move from the top section of the board!

I look forward to chatting with you more and helping each other out. I don't really have much of a clue about this course as of yet but one of my friends IRL took it and thought it was ok.

The community college that I attend doesn't require us to take Micro Biology all we have to have is a Biology from high school. I've noticed on most thread everyone has to take this, so why not my school? I'm in Virginia i don't know if that makes a difference. Should I take it anyway just for heads up or not?

[NurseHirzRN]

My school requires micro biology for the nursing program and will accept biology from high school to be accepted into the program if it was in the past 5 years and a C or better grade was earned:wink2:

[lalajenn]

I am also taking it along with my nursing classes. It is over the 5 year mark and I have to retake it. I start on Jan. 17th and I also have the book "Microbiology" by Robert W. Bauman. Good luck everyone!! I have to take it at nighttime because of the nursing classes.

[TRINI_RN]

Hi, I'd like to join the group. I'll be taking Micro, CPR, and AP II. I look forward to all the support that we'll be able to offer eachother. Hope everyone is having a great time on thier break.

Not sure either. We are required to take Human Bio, Organic Chem, Inorganic Chem, A&P 1 and 2, and Micro. Can't be from high school or more than 5 yrs. old.

I haven't taken Micro yet will do starting the 9th of Jan, so can't say if you should take it or not. I do however, cannot understand why your school doesn't require it.

Good luck I have heard micro is tough
