1. Taking a Year Off? Did not pass TEAS.

   giraffe4 replied to Jsamonte036's topic in General Students

   I'd buy a book for the TEAS exam. Maybe ask a tutor for help. What about getting your CNA? It only took 3 weeks for me. You can at least learn some basic nursing skills doing CNA work (And to see if...

   Now I am quite nervous. I know how everyone says how hard it is but I've been doing the pre requistes for 3 years and finished, applied for clinicals at my local community college, and heard that I...

8. Chem Lab & Lecture, A&P, Stats. Too much for one semester?

   giraffe4 replied to ashnic27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I personally wouldnt. I took all my sciences seperately and im taking stats by itself next semester. I did much better doing them seperately with other easy courses rather than altogether. Its better...

   giraffe4 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Right now it's taken me 2 years going on 3. My second semester I changed my major and went back into Nursing. I also screwed up a Bio class once. So it's taking me a little while longer than

10. How hard is basic anatomy and pysiology

    giraffe4 replied to TIffany1579's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm Basic A&P? It sounds really easy if it's just basic. If you are talking about A&P 1, I took lots of notes and was very attentive. I asked the professor questions if I didn't understand...

12. Should I take anatomy II over the summer?

    giraffe4 replied to mozer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do it. If you had a good grade in A&P 1 and want to get your degree faster, I would. I am also doing A&P 2 also in the summer. Except it is 8 weeks not 7. Also, if it is your only...

13. A&P I and II??

    giraffe4 replied to GingerRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy and Physiology were the same class. But I still had A&P 1 and A&P 2. I'd rather have it that way to be honest because anatomy and physiology coexist and it wouldn't make sense to me if...

    giraffe4 replied to hope2balpn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am completely the same. I am TERRIBLE at math. My entire life I was bad at it and still am. I have to take Intermediate Algebra which is a remedial course in my community college and I can't seem to...

15. Can i still make it even though i got a c in a&p?

    giraffe4 replied to melikay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you are only in community college, it won't be as serious as the universities. But that doesn't mean slack off. I know the community college I go to, most people get a C in A&P 1 and do...
