  1. How'd you learn bones & muscles?

    coolpeach replied to ceraleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought a small dry erase board from walmart, and some dry erase markers. I would draw, label and say out loud over and over. Usually when it came to the lab practical I could draw the whole thing...

  2. Are theses classes hard??

    coolpeach replied to mr.rn-2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only class I have had to take that you mentioned was Chemistry. It was a little difficult, but I liked it. I thought it was easier than A&P, and didn't require a much time or effort. I think...

  3. bio vs A&P

    coolpeach replied to cathleenrmermaid7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school required bio prior to A&P or micro. Bio covered some basic chemistry, and atoms, cells, molecules etc. When you get into A&P you study not only where every single thing is located...

  5. Those darn points! How do you get em!

    coolpeach replied to henryswife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program does not have the work experience thing. It's sounds strange to me to. I would think you wouldn't be able to actually get patient experience until you had went to school. The only thing I...

  6. The Right Path [?]

    I can tell you what I have had to take, but it may be different where you are. Biology Chemistry Algebra Anatomy and Physiology 1 Anatomy and physiology 2 Microbiology English 1 Speech End of life...

  7. A hello and a question!

    coolpeach replied to Hoping4RNin2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would depend on what the program you are trying to get into bases there entrance on. The school I am trying to get into uses Pysch 1, English 1, A&P 1, and Chemistry to decide who gets in. In...

    coolpeach replied to apnea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Help needed in the worst way

    coolpeach replied to mr.rn-2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying to a 2 year CC program (Brookhaven) in Dallas. Here they do NOT look at your overall GPA. Instead they take your GPA for 4 courses (A&P 1, Dev Psych, English, Chemistry). In addition...

  11. This sucks!

    coolpeach replied to misserella8036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I am applying to does the same thing. You get points for the hesi test, points for extra classes you have taken, and points for A&P1, English, Developmental Psych, and Chemistry. You...

  12. Should I throw in the towel?

    coolpeach replied to kasia87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's ONLY one semester!!!! If you failed something then retake it next semester. If your trying to get into a competitive program that requires A's then retake the courses for A's. The main thing is...

  13. Want to be a nurse, past in school not great

    coolpeach replied to catalinaa21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any CC will take you. You will just need to retake all classes with F's and turn them into passing grades. Any science classes over 5 years old will also need to be retaken. Basically starting over,...

    coolpeach replied to Victoria703's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never taken nutrition because my plan doesn't require it. I have taken Life span and its easy easy easy. It was a very easy A. I have had friends who took nutrition while taking A&P and...

  15. How do you handle lazy lab partners?

    coolpeach replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In multicollinarity's defense..... In all of my prior labs (Biology, Chemistry, A&P 1, A&P2, and Micro) each person had to turn in their own work even though they sometimes worked on the...

  16. Which way....Which way....

    coolpeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the last couple of year I have been taking my pre reqs to get into a 2 year ADN program. I am an older student, pretty much single parents of 3 boys so I can not relocate or travel very far. When...

  17. Which way....Which way....

    coolpeach replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks everyone for your advice, and support. After much consideration, and talking to my friend/financial aid advisor I have decided to continue down the 2 year program path "for now". Blue eyes......

  18. How do you handle lazy lab partners?

    coolpeach replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    4x4.... You could go in the first day, and find a table with only one seat left, and sit at it. Tell her later you didn't see her. You could also tell her before hand that you consider her a...

  19. Brookhaven or other Dallas prenursing students

    coolpeach replied to 2btxnurse1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi neighbor..... I will apply to Brookhaven in Aug. My backup plan is Trinity Valley or El Centro's LVN program. The way they explained it to me is.....you can take all of those courses in the...

  20. How do you handle lazy lab partners?

    coolpeach replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I usually have had really great lab partners. The first couple of science classes it might have been luck. I usually sit at one of the very front lab tables on the first. Maybe only serious students...

  21. How to study

    coolpeach replied to kim224's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on your professor. My professor for A&P 1 and 2 said if we do not cover it in class it will NOT be on the test, and she meant it. She covered everything very well so most of us...

  22. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

    coolpeach replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OMG.... I remember riding in the back window of car. If there were seat belts we didn't use them. Other things I remember.... 1. Riding in the back of a pick up was ok for kids. 2. No such thing as a...

  23. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

    coolpeach replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am at the end of my pre reqs, and it seems that at least 40% or more of the people in my classes are all over 25. A good number over 30, and even a few older than me LOL. I have always thought it...

  24. So very disappointed...

    coolpeach replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone who has not defaulted on a Stafford student loan in the past can get a Stafford loan regardless of credit. They do NOT even look at credit. In addition to the pay plan someone mentioned above...

  25. ...starting to wonder if I can do this....

    coolpeach replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel for you. I was always too scared to take major science courses in the summer. Like someone said above the note card thing is great. I just bought index cards from walmart, a little thing of...
