Microbiology - Summer 2008

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Starting up early! Anyone have any advice as to what to expect? What can we review prior to beginning the course?

I'm taking it during the summer and a lot of people have told me to look for something else but there isn't in terms of pre-reqs that I can take in order to apply to a couple of schools this fall!

So if anyone else is taking this class over the summer feel free to join in on the conversation!

Hoping to get this placed in the locked sticky thread! Good luck everyone!

Good luck to all of you taking a 5-week Micro course this summer. I'm taking an 8-week summer course and it seems like it's going really fast as it is. My prof doesn't lock the doors, but he will publicly humiliate you if you're late. Seems like it'll be pretty easy. He's told us everything that will be on our first test, now I just have to make sure to study it.

Just found out I received a 97 on my first Micro test, (Chapters 1,2,3,4 and 10 in Tortora book). Class average was 75.3.

Im feeling even cockier than usual!!!

I wish my prof would lock the doors, very distracting when people come in late.

I have my first test this coming week! I'm excited!

Going into my last week of a 5-week course. Wow, time went fast! But the course is so freaking interesting, it has been a blast!! It was easy to study for the tests and labs because it's been so interesting. Still, it's a ton of material to stuff into my head in such a short amount of time. :chuckle

Well, off to do an online assignment, work on my presentation and answer study questions to start preparing for the final... :bugeyes:

Hey guys!

I just wanted to give you an encouraging nudge... :yeah:

I took Micro last summer and LOVED IT! It has been the most interesting class I have taken up to this point. Just take the time to go over the material and you will be just fine! I ended up with an A in my micro class, so if I can be of any help, lemme know!!! And good luck!

Specializes in None.

Well it has been an eye opening class. My first test I got a C, I dont feel that bad because I usually dont ever do well o nthe first test. Kind of a feeling-out of sorts method Ive learned to depend on. The class is interesting, I will be g lad when it is over so I can be done with pre-reqs for nursing school. I am deep down excited that clinicals start this fall though!!

3 weeks down 5 to go!!:yeah:

I just got my grade back for our first unknown. and I got 34 out of 30. He threw in 4 extra credit point for motility.

We had to identify 2 unknowns, one a slant and one in broth. We had to idntify Gram + or -, Acid fast or non-acid fast, endospore or no endospore. cell shape and cell arrangement. The extra credit was a hanging drop mount and identify true motility of false positive.

We started our 2nd unknown yesterday. We recieve a mixed culture in broth and had to isolate the different bacteria. Wish me luck!!

How is everyone else doing?

Congratulations!:yeah: I am hoping I can pull an A out of this class. I got a 75 on the first test. Not because it was hard, it was because I did not study. My son was graduating that week and I had family in and that that weekend was a planned trip out of town. I have gotten an A on everything elso I will have to buckle bown and do really well on the next 4 exams.

Congratulations again! Job well done.
