I'm taking Micro along with my first Semester of Nursing Classes!

I could use all the help I can get lol

Classes start the 18th!

I'm taking Micro, A&P I, and A&P II. Since A&P I and A&P II are short session classes I will only have two classes at a time. I think that is going to feel kind of weird. I'm used to having four - five classes all on T/TH, 10 minutes apart.

My classes start 8/18. I'm so glad I'll have some study buddies, makes me feel a whole lot less nervous about this course!

I've already started downloading podcasts and similar things from iTunes to get ready for the semester. It's bad, I wanted class to end all summer, and now I'm excited again already! They released the booklist for my class today, sort of, but there's no ISBN numbers. I really don't want to pay the bookstore prices because the newest edition from the author on Amazon is about $60 less than the bookstore wants. But I can't find the lab manual on Amazon at all, and I'm worried that there will be some ridiculous course pack or something that makes it so much more expensive.

Here's links to some of the stuff I've downloaded from iTunes already if you're interested.

I'm huge on podcasts because I have a boring data entry job where I'm allowed to listen to my iPod at work. Because of this, I have 40 hours a week to fill and I need lots of stuff to listen to! This is when I re-listen to my class lectures that I tape as well.

I would love to join this study group. I have been taking online classes for the past year so going back and sitting in a classroom is going to be a big change for me. Good luck to everyone.

My book/course pack was ridiculously expensive as usual...something like $192 and of course it's shrink wrapped so I can't open it becauseyou can't return it if it's open and I want to verify with the prof that it is in fact the book I need. I hope it has something like the MyA&P stuff that I used for that class, that was so helpful! I'm at a new school for Micro so that's making me nervous on top of the scary-ness of the material. I'm gonna need a pill on the first day of class I think! :uhoh3:

Welcome aboard ya'll!

I will be taking Micro and A&P2 in the fall. I start back on the 26th. The only thing that I am nervous about is the fact that both classes are on the same day. Micro in the morning and A&P in the evening. Hopefully I wont get too many tests on the same day.

A study group sounds great.

Hi,

I am taking microbiology this fall...along with A&P I, nutrition, and a speech class. I am quitting my job this week because of the anticipated stress level. Oh, and I am a single mother of 2 1/2-year-old twins. So I am a little nervous about this semester! :no:

Hoepfuly having some support online will help, since real-life study groups aren't really an option for me.
