  1. Sites for buying used books

    Galore replied to casi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I type the ISBN in at campusbooks.com, which will search a bunch of sites at once. Usually half.com or amazon end up being the best deal, and I've never had any problems ordering from them. I also...

  2. CNA student need suggestions...

    Galore replied to Marie1205's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not certified yet but have been looking into CNA positions. Is it possible to get into a hospital setting? Those jobs seem harder to come by and you usually need to be phlebotomy and EKG trained...

  3. how long did it take you to complete your pre-reqs?

    Galore replied to panamama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends if you're also working or if you can devote yourself to fulltime classes. Of course you want to complete everything as quickly as possible, but you also have to take a reasonable...

  4. what if you have to work while in nursing school?

    Galore replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the others about your son paying for his own education. I completely financed my first bacherlors degree through a state scholarship that paid for tuition, and working at least 30...

  5. freaking out! now what???

    Galore replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am switching careers to go into nursing and I usually get a look of pity whenever I say that, but I am determined to go ahead with it. Funny that you mention business as a versatile degree option -...

  6. Post Spring 2006 semester grades here!

    Galore replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P I - A A&P I Lab - A Intro to Psychology - A Hopefully this trend continues

  7. Is Getting Into Nursing School Earlier Worth A Four Year Contract?

    Galore replied to Sheri257's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would probably pass on that because 4 years is too long to work somewhere where you're miserable and can't leave. I'm only 1 1/2 years into my current profession and am dying to get

  8. ~*~*~* A&P II Summer 2006! *~*~*~

    Galore replied to Elizabeth Hanes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My class started 5/10 and is only 6 weeks so we are jumping right into everything! Kinda overwhelming but that's to be expected with a summer class. My lecture prof is the same I had for A&P 1...

  9. Paying for Nursing school and private loans, 2ND BS

    Galore replied to billlee2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not even done with my prereqs so I haven't really worried too much about financing nursing school. However I know someone who works in HR at a nearby hospital who confirmed this as well as one...

  10. Paying for Nursing school and private loans, 2ND BS

    Galore replied to billlee2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you contacted any local hospitals? Most of them around here seem to have scholarships or will sponsor you through school if you sign a contract to work for them upon graduation. That's what I'm...

  11. *Microbiology-Summer 2006*

    Galore replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking it over 2nd summer session (6 weeks, yikes!). We're also using the 4th edition Talaro textbook. The professor has great evaluations on ratemyprofessor.com and seems very caring, so...

  12. ~~~A&P 1 (winter/spring) Club~~~

    Galore replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm finished with A&P 1 and I got an A *whew* Now it's on to A&P 2 next week. Luckily we are using the same book and lab

  13. Miami Dade College

    Galore replied to nlion87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, that makes me feel a little better :) If you don't mind me picking your brain about FAU a little bit...were you applying for the accelerated program or something else? Also, did they have...

  14. Miami Dade College

    Galore replied to nlion87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow JUBSN, that's pretty discouraging about FAU. I only have a 3.55 in undergrad, although I have A's so far in the few pre-reqs my original degree didn't cover. What program are you doing

  15. ~~~A&P 1 (winter/spring) Club~~~

    Galore replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got an A in lab too! My lecture final is next week. It is all about the muscular and nervous systems, which I don't really like. At least it's almost

  16. What would you take?

    Galore replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say it's better to be really fluent in one language than just so-so in two. I took French in high school and Spanish in college for 1 year, and I don't feel comfortable enough with either to say...

  17. What would you take?

    Galore replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely go with Spanish, especially if you live anywhere near a border state. I'm in Florida and it's really a handicap if you don't speak at least basic Spanish. Also, once you learn one...

  18. muscle test

    Galore replied to WannaBeMaleRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Muscles totally overwhelmed me at first too. For me it's just repetition, repetition, repetition until it finally starts to click. I like doing the interactive quizzes online over and over, it's...

  19. Miami Dade College

    Galore replied to nlion87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I'm curious about that program too! Does it also include Palm Beach county? I'm trying to get into the accelerated program at FAU '07, but I have no idea about my chances of getting in and am...

  20. ~~~A&P 1 (winter/spring) Club~~~

    Galore replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The mnemonic we were told is a little dirtier but it sticks in your mind: oh oh oh, to touch and feel valley girl's lady parts, so hot! (where the last S is for Spinal Accessory, some use an A...

  21. A&P Summer 06'

    Galore replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as I don't have any problems getting in the class, I'm taking A&P II during summer A and then microbiology summer B. It will be hell but at least then all I'll have left for fall is...

  22. ~~~A&P 1 (winter/spring) Club~~~

    Galore replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RNangel2b, I watch a taped streaming video feed online for my lectures but go to a 3 hour lab on campus once a week (with a different teacher). It really depends on your individual style of learning....

  23. I got into University of Florida

    Galore replied to BlaineCM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!! I got my business degree from UF a little over a year ago and I loved it there. It's great to be a Florida Gator

  24. Spending the Benjamins

    Galore replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gosh, I'm not even in nursing school yet so that first paycheck seems a long ways off! Luckily I don't have any credit card debt and already bought a house, so I'll probably put the increased...

  25. yeah, Spring Break. What will you do with your free time?

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

    I was able to correspond my work vacation with spring break and my boyfriend and I went to the Dominican Republic for a week! This last weekend I've spent studying for my A&P I exam tomorrow (not...
