Chem Spring 2008

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi all,

Hoping to start a Chem study group for Spring 2008. I do not begin class until January 15th but figured I would see about getting a group together as soon as possible.

Excellent job Allie! What a great semester for you! I'm not doing soo well. I just bombed on my exam 3 and have the final in 2 weeks. I'm hoping to pull off a miracle to get my B back. I can't believe I did soo badly. Even with doing all the available extra credit I still did horrible. I don't want to use it as an excuse but I've had many personal issues this semester and haven't been focused the way I could've been. I'm actually seriously considering quitting my part time job because I think my school work could use the extra hours. I'll probably end up with a C in this class and it's the only on my record, one B, and all A's. Unfortunately they don't apply to nursing so I'm really starting all over. Send some postive thoughts my way please! And hats off to your good work! :yeah:

Is your final comprehensive, or is it just on the final X chapters?

LOL I feel you on that one! I'm scared about the grades once i get in. I'm actually in the process of saving up enough money to be able to not work once i'm in nursing school. I wanted to be able to put all my time in studing and keeping up.

I talked with both of my sisters, who are nurses, and my youngest sister stated she was glad she didn't have to work while going to nursing school. She said those were the years that were the toughest for her.

So here's to success for everyone! Are we dancing yet??? LOL.:lol2::lol2::clown::yeah:

Yeah, I'm figuring nursing school *will* be my full-time job. I'm both scared and happy to think about being in a classroom where *everyone* is smart and motivated! :uhoh3:

Yes, let's dance!

Whoa, babies! Watch where that arrow is pointed! :lol2:

Thanks for the fairy dust lisa - I need it LOL! :nuke:

I actually noticed the mistakes in Mr. Guch's worksheets too, but I forgot to mention that, so thanks for mentioning that. I wouldn't want anyone thinking they got the wrong answer when they didn't. :rolleyes:

Tiarageek, T2 = P2,V2,T1

________

P1,V1 just remove the constant and divide. Hope this helps. I have a similar formula to find em all.

P.S. This did not post as I intended. That is a division problem. Can you see what I was trying to write?

Finished up Chem 1101 with an A! I am taking the next chemistry needed for the nursing program this summer. Anyone else going on to biological and organic chemistry this summer?

Yeah for you! Good luck with the next phase. I am just finishing Org/Bio chem and have my final next week. I cannot wait to have that behind me. I am going into the final with an A, but I know anything can happen, ... especially when one procrastinates on the studying - as I seem to be! Seems once got my acceptance letter, I really, really stopped caring about the chem and haven't been able to convince myself to stay with it. At least I know that even if I don't take the final for some reason, I would still pass. Whew, that takes the pressure off.

Good luck with O chem - it is completely different, IMO than general chemistry. And no math!

I finish up Chemistry next week! :yeah: My comprehensive final is on Monday and I have to get a 86/87 on it to get my B back since I bombed on the last exam. My class started out with 21 students, we're now down to 13 and half failed the last exam, then 1 D, 1 C, 1 B, and 3 A's. My teacher is not the greatest so I can't wait to move onto a different class and be done with this one!

Good luck itsa, you can do it!! Here's some good luck for you

Hi Im a newbie. I'm wondering is BIOCHEM really difficult? I'm really nervous I'm not good in Chemistry back in high school. Can you please enlighten me, this fear is stopping me to reach my goal.

I don't know how other moms did it.

It is hard, but it is different. Definitely there is some revisiting of the concepts of general chemistry, but not the math. There is a lot of memorization, and structures and reactions. There are so many steps to everything, and different ways to write it - different symbols meaning the same thing - like language. It often builds on itself though, that helps. It is interesting, that helps, too, I think.

Don't let the fear of it prevent you from reaching your goal, or taking that step. It won't eat you. Stand up to it! Review your general chem concepts (understand polarity, acid-base reactions, and bonding if nothing else!) then make sure you check ratemyprofessor.com and get the background on the potential instructor, ask around and see who is good, if possible. Get a tutor early and go often, join a study group, do the homework. If you are really concerned, stressed or strapped for time, don't take any other classes, at least not demanding ones. Avoid summer or short sessions. Tape the lectures. Ask for help. Mostly though, just commit to doing it. Challenge yourself and go for it!

Good luck!

Hi everyone! I really need some help or tips - any help - with balancing equations and anything to do with the mole and all its conversions and empirical formulas. I have a quiz this Monday on these subjects and I have a feeling I did pretty bad on my last test :( and I really want to get at least an A- in this class (so every quiz counts). Any help or advice would be soo appreciated - you all have been such a blessing! Thanks everyone! :bow::heartbeat

Hi, has this turned into a fall/2008? yet
