    Who is tired of typing the word "prerequisites"?

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

    I'm sick of typing prerequisites and I'm sick of taking prerequisites. Since I have to keep taking them I'm all for a condensed version. Pre-req is my abbreviation of choice, but I do love the way...

    Has anyone ever had to retake English Comp a second time?

    Pixiesmom replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with TheCommuter on the reasons why composition is a requirement. Did you just have a bad semester or a tough instructor? I was blessed with a fantastic instructor for both Comp I and Comp...

    Which program are you doing and why?

    Pixiesmom replied to chloecav's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm on the fence with the decision as well. My CC offers an ADN and I could possibly (if my scores meet the requirement) start the program this next fall but I'm leaning more towards the BSN at the...

    How does everyone study?

    Pixiesmom replied to MB37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as study methonds I let the punishment fit the crime so to speak. With my Math for Meds class I work the boatload of problems that our instructor supplied us with. They aren't graded but we...

    Who is tired??

    Pixiesmom replied to jbjints's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I enjoy a brief 20 minute power nap when I wait to pick up my oldest daughter from school. :wink2: I also find that if I'm in need of toothpicks to keep the peepers open I just get up and do...

    Pixiesmom replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 33 and holding. :monkeydance: I'm still chugging away at my pre-req's and some co-req's. I had a co-worker on campus tell me that all of the old students always make good grades. My reply was,...

    Micro whining

    Pixiesmom replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How many people thought A & P was easy?

    Pixiesmom replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Future Specialty?

    Pixiesmom replied to walktheline's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I honestly don't have a clue. I'm sure that things will fall into place as I go along. Right now I'm more interested in getting an A in A & P I than I am in picking a specialty. That's just me...

    Pixiesmom replied to tanner523's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a co-worker that has a digital voice recorder and he loves it. I can check out the brand name if you want. I am interested in one but I want to hear one of his lectures to see how bad it is...
