   biogeek replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The nutrition class I took didn't take a lot of effort to get an A. The lectures were interesting as was the book. Seriously, one of the easiest As to receive. Organic chemistry...you gotta work in that class!!! Nutrition with organic is very...

2. A&P II Club, 2007

   biogeek replied to CuriousMe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Check to see if your library has a McMinn's atlas. It has color photographs of cadavers with incredible, detailed dissection! You'll first see an overview of a section, then superficial dissection, then progresses deeper and deeper depending on ...

3. Microbiology Spring 2007

   biogeek replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Fluorochrome dyes will tend to illuminate your specimen under UV light under normal fluorecence microscopy. You can also add a fluorescent dye to an antibody that is specific for that microorganism & then detect the microorganism. If the antibody...

4. Have you ever written a thank you note to a professor?

   biogeek replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   They will NOT think you're nuts, and in fact, will be very pleased to know that their efforts made a difference in at least one student. People are often quick to critize, but usually forget to praise those that do well and challenge us to be the b...

5. What to do with my other degree.

   biogeek replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Very true! Canadian regulations are probably different than the US with regards to financial aid. I know they have aid of various types, just not the process.

6. What to do with my other degree.

   biogeek replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Those that already have a degree will not qualify for pell grants and other grants such as SEOG and the like, but they will still qualify for federal loans. There are, of course, other scholarships and non-federal grants that are based on the federa...

7. Thick or thin?

   biogeek replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When I applied four years ago, my letter was thin from nursing school, very thick for med school and also for DO school. A few days later after receiving the nursing acceptance letter, they sent me a thick packet chuck full of info. So, I guess ...

8. What to do with my other degree.

   biogeek replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A degree is never a waste!! I have a BS in genetics and a BA in chemistry. Some of my fellow pre-nursing classmates think I'm nuts and over-qualified for nursing with my science background. Rubbish I say! Psychology is something that every fi...

9. Life STressors --

   biogeek replied to Jenny67's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow Jenny! Hang in there! I'll say some prayers for Harrison's family and for you as well. No one should have to go through all that alone. I realize you have your hubby and your daughters, but talking to a neutral third party may help you sor...

10. A&P 1 over summer?

    biogeek replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Students

    I personally wouldn't recommend taking it over the summer if you're working full time. Although you could probably put in enough time on the weekends to get a decent grade, you'll have to be very dedicated to have that much focus in a five-week tim...

11. competitiveness amongst classmates..

    biogeek replied to nd deb's topic in General Students

    I've never experienced people not liking those that perform well. Usually it's the other way around. I personally get tired of hearing other students complain about how unfair the exam was when they receive their exams back. Whenever one of them asks...

12. loosing my self confidence and doubting myself

    biogeek replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Students

    I so happy that the instructure helped you after class. Knowing how to do something correctly is more important than speed, especially since speed will come with experience. By the way, are you attending the BSN program at KU Med? I'm hoping to st...

13. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    biogeek replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    What a fantastic thread! To the original poster regarding debinding books, THANK YOU!!! That's probably the best tip I've read in a long time. Wish I had known about that during my undergraduate years.
