1. Accepted Spring 2012 suudents what are you feeling now?

   ashmcgr replied to keepmovingrn's topic in General Students

   I'm very anxious about starting the program- but when I start to feel overwhelmed I tell myself that I was one of only thirty people selected for this semester. I can do it. I've got a 2 year old that I had to work out "daycare" for as well (meaning...

2. I knew I could do it!

   ashmcgr replied to ashmcgr's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's definitely doable! My Microbiology and my Anatomy and Physiology II both had lab and lecture components, so they were both 2 hour classes, four days a week. Sixteen hours a week of bio class time is a lot (my other two courses were online), but ...

   TexasNurse2B: Well, I spent ALL of my time at school studying. Literally 12 -13 hours a day. From 8 in the morning until 9 at night most days. I can't tell you when I last got to sit down and watch an entire episode of TV or just relax, and I think m...

   After everyone at my school saying that it was impossible, that I couldn't pass, or telling me "goood luck with that" with an eyeroll... I did it:D! I took A&P II, Microbiology, Statistics, and Medical Terminology all in a 10 week summer semester...

   ashmcgr replied to Student Nurse Tina's topic in South Carolina

   I'm finishing out my prereqs at SCC and hope to be accepted into the nursing program in the spring. I have to say: if you're taking A&P, take Dr. Todd. He is amazing and will make sure that you really understand the material. Anyone else looking ...

6. Summer school anyone?

   ashmcgr replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a little late hopping on the bandwagon here, but I'm SWAMPED this summer... I'm trying to get into the local community college in January. They only accept 60 people per year- 30 in the fall semester and 30 in the spring semester. We have a weigh...

7. The big D---Debt.

   ashmcgr replied to thislife's topic in General Nursing

   I think that if you're banking your future on "well, I can just settle for bankruptcy" then why even get started in a field or go to school? My parents went through bankruptcy and it takes TEN YEARS to recover from that. I wouldn't take it lightly. ...

8. Backpack for school

   ashmcgr replied to SkiMama's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I ordered the High Sierra Powerglide- it's a rolling backpack that has a laptop slot and is supposed to be pretty large. I read all kinds of reviews and several nursing students gave it rave reviews on ebags.com. I ended up buying mine repackaged fro...

9. I did it! A&P I & II in the same semester!!

   ashmcgr replied to ms.hopeful2013's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congrats This is so good to hear!!! I'm taking A&P II and Microbiology in the same semester...the SUMMER semester. So it will be four weeks shorter than a regular semester, and I've got to take two more classes along with them. Everyone has bee...
