   Thankfully we have 2nd-year students on the floor helping us. It's such a relief because they know EXACTLY what we're going through, and they're always happy to help. One second-year student I worked with did such an awesome job. She'll make a fantas...

3. How many men in your cohort?

   turkeyonrye replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Students

   6 out of 21. My instructors said it was most male students they've ever had.

   I forgot to give you guys an update! I finished Nursing 50 and it went great! On the last day of clinicals, my patient told me I had been "absolutely unbelievable" and she gave me a hug. :) I am now in the middle of fall term nursing classes and doi...

5. So scared

   Have you ever taken an online class before? I personally prefer in-person, but sometimes there isn't much choice.

6. Need some school opinions please!

   turkeyonrye replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Excellent advice! Pretty much described exactly what I did during all my bio classes. Also agreed with the easy/hard statement...all the instructors are going to be different and students are obviously biased given their own abilities and tendencies...

   turkeyonrye replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Honestly? Yes. Although I had a pretty challenging instructor from what I understand. He definitely prepared me though. There's just no way to memorize the hundreds, if not thousands, of terms and processes that will float across your field of vision...

   Oh, thank goodness, lol.

   Having done it myself, I can personally confirm that your memorization skills will be flexed to the breaking point taking A&P and Micro together.

10. So scared

    turkeyonrye replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oh. As far as the degree of challenge...my three courses got successively harder. Our instructor purposefully designed the classes that way. So, it really just depends on the instructor.

    Thank you very much!

    I'm sure it'll work fine! Sometimes I like to listen to instrumental music like Yo-Yo Ma when I'm drawing too. Good memorization skills will be of great use in A&P and Micro.

    I suggest getting a drawing pad and some colored pencils or markers. I drew diagrams and other images during all three courses and it helped me tremendously with comprehension and memorization.

    I took A&P-III alongside a 5 credit Micro course. I saw my instructor five days a week. It was pretty brutal, but I managed solid 'A's in both classes.

15. So scared

    turkeyonrye replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was lucky to have taken A&P from an instructor who made a concerted effort to prepare us all for our coming challenges. It upsets me that other instructors do not adequately prepare their students. You will have to take your education into your...
