2. Please help me w/ Biochemistry

   mac léinn replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The reason you would start from the bottom and not from the top is because you want to have the lowest # with the first chain from it. On the Top the first # with a chain would be 3 On the Bottom the first # would be 2

5. Question about HESI A2 Entrance retakes!

   mac léinn replied to future_RNurse321's topic in HESI

8. Starting A&P course tomorrow

   mac léinn replied to CelesteR903's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My only advice is to make sure you keep up with your studies and don't wait until a few days before exams to start studying. If you have even a few extra minutes a day (instead of watching tv etc) study, study, study. Take notes but not to the exte...

    WKU (Bowling Green, KY) takes overall GPA, Prereq GPA and HESI Entrance Exam into Consideration. While 2.75 is minimum requirements for GPA if you have a 3.0 or better with GREAT Prereq GPA you should have no problem. WKU is in South Central Kentuck...

    mac léinn replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I used a combination of things: I retyped notes (I found rewriting helped to learn faster) Then I scanned pictures I needed from the Book or downloaded from the internet to add to the notes. To study for the Exams I would make Flashcards using the p...

    mac léinn replied to rocketberger's topic in Pre-Nursing

    While I am NO expert, I would go with Option A. You stated that this would be the best for your Wallet and that you would hopefully want to go to MedSchool. 3 years will most likely get you all the prereqs need for most MedSchools. There are plenty o...

    How are your writing skills?? If you feel comfortable with all the writing that is involved in English and still will have time to study the A&P and Micro then keep the English. I myself would drop the English and Take the Psychology. I am not...

15. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    mac léinn replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes I did read it, I simply said that I did not have healthcare experience. For me I am glad that work/experience is not the only thing they check as it would put me in the bottom of the list without considering my hard work in obtaining a 4.0 GPA. ...
