1. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

   Suse replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

   Studies have shown that one should study three hours per credit hour per week, minimum. I am taking Pharm and Foundations for a total of 10, so I have to shoot for 4 1/2 to 5 hrs per day.

3. Microbiology: Spring 2010

   Suse replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Can someone help me with bacterial counts of food? I'm not getting it. Here's my example: Ten grams of ground beef are added to 90 ml of sterile water. After blending, 0.1 ml is used to inoculate a plate of gen purpose media. After 24hrs incubat...

   Thank you so much for the tip! And thanks as well to Michael, Paco, and Brighten! This board has been SO helpful!

5. Microbiology: Spring 2010

   Suse replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you for the tip. So memorize stuff like Krebs and Glycolysis? There is a tremendous amount of detail. I was just wondering if there were any tips/tricks that were helpful. The professor doesn't like for anyone to ask questions. We all have...

6. Microbiology: Spring 2010

   Suse replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The problem I am having is that it is so much information. I need direction on how to break it up into digestible chunks, if you will. Like, what do I need to memorize? All the various cycles, each enzyme. I am just a little overwhelmed. I'm don...

   Suse replied to sarailyse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   YES! You nailed it! That's is the point the professor was making, albeit succinctly.

   I need help with metabolism, please! How are you guys getting this stuff? Does anyone have any specific ways to break this down, or any resources that you have found helpful? Thank you!

9. Any day now!

   Suse replied to cupcake231's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm supposed to find out mid month, but I still go to the mailbox every day looking. I have only applied to one school, so if I don't get in, I will be crushed!

10. Micro or AP1.... WWYD?

    Suse replied to Summers_Off's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am in micro now. I have already taken, A&P1, A&P2 & chem. I would highly reccommend you take the A&P1 first, as it will lay the foundation for at least some stuff in micro like cells. Having chemistry before micro would he helpfu...

11. A&P prof's inappropriate response to request for alternative to animal dissection

    Suse replied to sarailyse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This has been the most entertaining thread! I totally empathize with OP's choices, and totally respect her position. I love animals! My 16 year old is dissecting a cat this week in A&P. Our cat died in July. I mean no disrespect to her, however...

12. Would you guys recommend taking Micro or Anatomy/Phys first?

    Suse replied to futureRN-BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Definitely take A&P first, as you will have all the cell basics down. If you haven't already done so, take Chemistry before it as well because that is the foundation for microbiology.

13. A&P prof's inappropriate response to request for alternative to animal dissection

    Suse replied to sarailyse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Personal ethics HAVE to be put aside. I work in a trauma unit. We had a guy in here, critical, and intubated, whose license was flagged that he was a SEX OFFENDER. The docs and nurses STILL treat him the same as they would ANY OTHER. If one can't...

    Thank you, and CONGRATS! Thankfully, my professor does drop one test grade.

15. I am taking A&P "Risk Free" at Ocean County College

    Suse replied to tysontwins's topic in Pre-Nursing

    i think it's a waste of time and money. a&pi is very basic. i took it after a 20+ year absence from school, with only high school biology under my belt, and got an 'a'. you'll be fine!
