1. ASU requirements

   Lavender111 replied to emily234's topic in Arizona

   I would check Rio Salado, it's an online community college in AZ that transfers right to ASU.

2. Maricopa CEP Fall 2018

   Lavender111 replied to jen91's topic in Arizona

   Hi everyone, I won't be applying until after fall semester but I had a quick question. So basically you all had your class requirements done by last semester (fall 2017) and had to "sit out" a semester in between and then hopefully start in the fall ...

   Thank you so much for the amazing links, you're awesome :)

4. Help with Histology

   Lavender111 replied to Lavender111's topic in Student Assist

   Thanks for your response, and no worries, my lab practical is not until Feb. 7th :) Our class begged my professor to show us images instead of use the microscope and surprisingly he agreed, so I'm not as worried now! I will try your flashcard idea, t...

5. Help with Histology

   Lavender111 replied to Lavender111's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you so much for your help! I agree, histology is incredibly boring to me, hopefully I enjoy the other chapters more!

6. Help with Histology

   Lavender111 replied to Lavender111's topic in Student Assist

   Thanks for your comment I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling lol! Our instructor also told us he probably wouldn't test us on simple squamous just because it's flat and hard to see. I've only had 2 lab sessions so far, I'm just used to getting su...

7. Help with Histology

   Lavender111 replied to Lavender111's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you, this was helpful! I have trouble locating the basement membrane though - is it the darker area around the bottom of the slide? I was looking for the square shape around the nucleus not at the actual nucleus itself.

8. Help with Histology

   Lavender111 replied to Lavender111's topic in Student Assist

   Maybe I'm not properly focusing the microscope? I don't really see enough detail to see the square shape of cuboidal or the shape of columnar. I have looked on the web but it doesn't really look that similar to the slides I used in class, and our sli...

9. Help with Histology

   Lavender111 posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hi everyone, I'm in A&P right now and we have our first lab practical coming up, and it's on histology. We have to distinguish between simple squamous epithelial, stratified cuboidal, etc. and the pictures in my book and on the PP look different ...

10. Chamberlain bought out by Adtalem

    Lavender111 replied to NursingGirl9's topic in Chamberlain College

    I'm pretty sure they have been bought by them for a while - they are the same people that run DeVry, which is why general classes run through them. So I doubt that anything will be changing :)

11. Too old?

    Lavender111 replied to RN0599's topic in General Students

    Agree totally with Trauma. I highly recommend a community college program. It will be pretty rough taking out a loan for school and paying it back while you get closer to retirement and need money saved up for that and will have no income.

12. Is nursing for me

    Lavender111 replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    Well, nobody knows anything about who you are as a person or how you handle stress. I and nobody else here has any idea if you would make a good nurse. But anatomy and physiology is a really important class and you will need to know that information ...

13. Should I Switch?

    Lavender111 replied to CookiesOrCreme's topic in Arizona

    I think only you can answer that for yourself. I would try to become a CNA first because you will deal with a lot of "ick" that way, and build a tolerance. You will constantly deal with poop, vomit, and stress so make sure you can tolerate these thin...

14. CEP Point System

    Lavender111 replied to jen91's topic in Arizona

    The new point system is scary! I have been looking all over the site to see if anyone has posted their score. I graduated high school this year so I don't have the advantage of a previous degree for an extra two points. I worked really hard to get a ...

15. Help! Should I pay out of state tuition or off put college for a few years??

    Lavender111 replied to nisa.33's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah definitely! My school has the regular wait list for an associates degree, and the concurrent program is based on your GPA and entrance exam score so there isn't a wait list for that, and it's the cheapest option for your bachelors. I myself hate...
