When you took the HPRS1204 course in the Fall, how did you practice the catheterizations? I am starting the course in March and am curious to know...surely we use "dummies" or such. Thanks guys -...

Has anyone else had such an awful experience with a teacher that you took it up with the dean? If so, what came out of it all? I love Anatomy but hate the teacher! Out of a starting class of 24, there...
Yes, micro and AP2 can be done simultaneously! I take them along with statistics, history (almost done), and I also start a nursing skills course in March. IT STINKS!!! I have no life! I also work...
Well, not the topic, but my class and professor. Too much to get into detail really. Let's just say the class holds 24 and started with that many...well we are in week 5 and are down to just 11...

That's what I thought too, but read this... I emailed a lady at El Centro and this was her reply: It is required to be completed before the Fall 07 semester. There will be sections offered in June...

I am applying to El Centro in Dallas. I need one more varicella vaccine and then I can turn my app in. But, I just found out that they have added a new pre-requisite and I need to have it completed by...
OK - that was what I had deducted also. I was uncertain if bipolar was the same as multipolar. And I am not certain if olfactory hairs means the cilia or the actual nasal hairs. I am going to email...
Question: Olfactory receptors A) are second-order, multi-polar neurons B) are also called basal cells C) use olfactory hairs to transduce chemical signals from odorants. D) A & B E) A, B & C...

No, I didn't think any of the sections were difficult except A&P. I did not take the prep course, but I bought the study guide. Some of the questions on the test were exactly the same from the...

I just got back from taking my HESI. I passed, but am not happy with my A&P section score. It was a lot tougher than I anticipated. It would have helped so much if I had already taken AP2 as well...
I am planning to go see the exhibit in a few weeks. Our professor mentioned last semester (in A&P 1) that he is going to make it a requirement for everyone in his A&P 2 class to go check it...
My schedule is: Micro - Mon/Wed, 5:35–8:25pm A&P 2 - Tues/Thur, 5:35–8:25pm Statistics - online Classes start 1/16 at Eastfield College. I am not looking forward to this semester. I know this...

I would prefer El Centro since I live way out in Rockwall, but the more I think about it - I may just finish up the BSN pre-reqs and apply to TWUs BSN program. I will still apply to ECC for the Fall...

The only other support classes I lack are A&P 2 and Micro, and I am enrolled to take them this Spring. So, if I get accepted for Fall 07, I will have all the support courses out of the way. If I...
I also had my Lecture final last night - I left crying! I have had a 100 average up until this last week! I bombed the Lab with a 50 and felt I did the same on the Lecture. I needed a 58 on the...
