Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Hello everyone,

I thought I'd go ahead and start a thread for A&P II. Does anyone know if there's a process to request a thread being made sticky?

Has anyone been getting a jump start on class by reading ahead? I found my Prof's powerpoint notes online, so I'm making some flash cards as well :)

Peace,

Cathie

Wow, what a peach of a teacher you have! Yikes. I am so glad that you are doing well. I hope that she starts to ease up a bit sounds like she is wound up a bit too tight that is for sure. Congrats on pulling through that is awesome stuff. Hang in there and keep believing in yourself. Have a GREAT spring break. I am on spring break as well. Is it jus tme or do you feel guilty if you don't study some everyday. I keep telling myself its Spring Break. Sad right? lol.

Physiology is officially over today (8-weeker)!!! I managed to pull an A+ out of the class... WOOT WOOT!!!! Now I can focus on my four other classes (16-weekers) and enjoy them a bit more with the lighter load :) Anybody else finishing up 8-week classes?

Wow, I am not sure I have ever heard of anyone getting an A+ in college (albeit I did in a PE course worth one credit, lol) let alone in Phys. That is quite a feat! Good luck with your other courses!

Thanks! I know what you mean. When I started college over 10 years ago, the schools I went to did not give A+s. But since returning, both schools I'm currently attending (the cc for physiology and a state university for my other courses) do give them. For both schools I have to score a 98% or above to achieve one. I'm surprised you haven't heard of college students earning A+s before. That's my goal each semester... lol... keeps me very challenged! When last semester was out, lots of people on this board posted their grades and there were a number of A+s! The men and women here are all smart cookies!

hmmm now that you mention it I have never heard that either, do they give you a different gpa for that? like a 4.5 vs 4.0? I earned an A+ in ap101 I had a 100+ average but I still got a plain ole A 4.0 for the course.

Way to go on the 100+ average!!!! Nope, an A+ is still a plain ol' 4.0. I'd imagine a hypothetical difference would be when competing with other 4.0 students to get into a nursing program. Both the 4.0 A student and the 4.0 A+ student could be just as qualified in all areas (personal interview, essay, entrance exam scores, etc), but the added + on the transcript could possibly be a determining factor for one over the other. I highly doubt this situation actually happens too often...especially if the average GPA of accepted students for *most* schools is below 4.0... in which case both hypothetical students mentioned above would be offered a spot :) For me, though, I veiw it as a personal challenge to myself and nothing more.

I took mine (both I&II) last year. No, I didn't read ahead, because I was too lazy, lol. But once the class started, I wasnt allow myself to do so otherwise I would fail miserably. Those courses required lots of study, reading, and memorization.

I am attending my 4th college in 10 years, and while they didn't exist at the last 3, apparently profs are allowed to give A+s at my current school. I had a 102 in my developmental psych class last semester, and she put one on my transcript, but it was still only worth 4.0. I had no idea until I checked my final grades that they could give them. It's at the profs' discretion whether to give +/- grades at all, though.

Way to go in the developmental psych class! ITA with ya on the one point. Eventhough my school allows them, my ethics professor doesn't give them. His grading system is strange though and I haven't been able to figure it out... he doesn't use a points system at all but goes strictly by letter grades.

My school does A+'s, although it's up to the individual Proff. Generally, they outline in their sylabus what numerical grade you need for each letter grade (-/+ included). For most of my Proff's, over 98 is an A+ and it does count as more than a 4.0. I have 18 credits currently, for 10 of them I had an A and the other 8 were A+'s (A&P1 and Nutrition). My GPA is 4.13.

Peace,

Cathie
