   Thanks! My husband thinks I'm crazy to worry. But, of course I'm terrified. SCF gives NO information on how many people they take and what their standards are. Good luck to you!

   Oh, and I'm totally with you on wishing I knew what this was going to involve. No one seems able to explain what nursing school really involves. Even my friend who is in her last 13 weeks. She just keeps saying "critical thinking" and "studying." ...

   I haven't been able to go to any of the info sessions. I work during those hours and my boss has no idea I'm hoping to quit soon to go to school. :) How disappointing that you had to turn it down last year! I'm hoping for Venice. I just wish I had...

   Do you know for sure you're starting in the spring? I applied and I'm waiting for the October 23 email. Do you know something I don't? I'm dying with this wait! :)

   hmowry replied to temmymano's topic in Florida

   I know this thread is a year old, but can anyone tell me what the application entails? It's not up until September 1st and I'm curious if I will need a letter of recommendation or to write a personal essay or anything. Thanks!

   I've been in that man's position and a nurse was my angel. She is the reason I am becoming a nurse now. You changed that man's life. Bless you.

8. A&P - Overwhelmed by neural tissue

   hmowry replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm with you. The sheer amount of vocabulary is daunting. I just keep hoping if I focus on the big picture, the little pieces will make more sense. :)

9. A&P - Overwhelmed by neural tissue

   hmowry replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes! There's only one nursing school in my area and it's supposed to be very competitive. I've read that if you don't have all A's in your prereqs you can't get in. Most of the people in my class seem to be thrilled if they're earning B's, but I'm...

    Thank you! I just needed to hear I'm not crazy!

11. A&P - Overwhelmed by neural tissue

    hmowry posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Please tell me I'm not the only one who is completely overwhelmed by neural tissue. I'm doing really well in A&P, but suddenly I'm so stressed out I can't take it. We just finished muscle tissue and are starting neural tissue (and learning all ...

12. A&P -- just have to share my excitement!

    hmowry replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oh, the muscles. We just started on that last week. I'm not so scared of memorizing them (I did fine memorizing the bones and bone markings), but the physiology. OMG. Just looking at my book right now is giving me a headache. I'm so glad there a...

13. SCF SPRING 2015

    hmowry replied to temmymano's topic in Florida

    @temmymano - I'm working my butt off in A&P I and I find it fascinating. It's SO hard, but so far I have an A. Is A&P II more on the physiology side? We just started muscles, and it's so much harder than what we've done so far! My undergra...

14. (affordable) A&P Body Model?

    hmowry posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    We just started in on the skeletal systems, with a practical next week, and will start muscles right after that. For the skull bones I was able to find an awesome little skull model (even my professor was impressed by the detail), which was SO helpf...

15. SCF SPRING 2015

    hmowry replied to temmymano's topic in Florida

    I can't apply until next spring (for Fall of 15) but I keep searching these boards hoping for an idea of what type of GPA I have to have to get in! I'm in A&P I right now and with working full time and a family I feel like I"m going crazy trying...
