    MedSurgRNiowa replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are two different Anatomy teachers in this school. Mine uses a brand new book written by McKinley and O'Loughlin. The other teacher must use Hole's. Does anyone else feel like they are...

  3. Anatomy Summer 2006 Club

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on the good grade! I have a test over that same material on Tuesday. I had an oral quiz over the pectoral girdle, arm & hand yesterday and got 100%. I really went in thinking....I...

  4. Is it better to become a CNA first?

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to luna357's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those that are not sure if they should become a nurse should become a CNA first. I just had a girl tell me yesterday that she hated every minute of her CNA clinicals. She did not like moving pt.'s,...

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to marinemommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My cc does the Anatomy seperate, also. All schools are different and I called to see if I could get into the nearest 4 year school this year instead of waiting for the cc, which begins summer '07 and...

  6. How did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to lmf2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I married when I was 18 and moved out of state. I took a job as a companion in a home health care agency. I had to have training and off I went to help people in their homes. I loved it. We moved...

  7. 1st Anatomy class today

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

    Thanks, FutureNurse35. I agree that one should probably not take this in the summer for the reasons you mentioned and because I really do not have a life at the moment. Just last night, relatives...

  8. Looking for A&P Online

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are two A & P classes. One is A & P and the other is A & P I. If I want to transfer into a local private 4 year school, I need A & P with a C or better. I just found out that...

  9. Is it better to become a CNA first?

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to luna357's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school requires it and this is their reasoning, which I believe is great. CNA's were complaining about lack of respect from RN's. Our school believes that no matter what point on the ladder you...

    Hi Gwen: I am 39 and finishing up my pre req.'s. I did a search on-line to get some information on pre-algebra because of the entrance test. I did not think that I had to take it since I had a...

  14. Anatomy Summer 2006 Club

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got home from my 4th day. We have only had 10 points so far and when I got my lab report back, he gave me an 8! I am so bummed. I argued with him on one question but he is about 150 years...

  16. Too much of a risk?

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to BiggerBoat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some of my classes transferred from Illinois. Colleges do not like to do that and I had to jump through some hoops to get the credit but I eventually did. I am doing just what you asked.....taking...

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I began Anatomy yesterday! The last class is July 31st so it is a quick one. Even though I go to class Mon-Thurs., it feels as if I am going to be doing an independent study. Great % by the way....

    Thanks for all of the encouragement. I am not working outside of the home and my girls are teenagers so I can do this! I just got home from day two which was a dry lab. I was over-prepared and...

  19. Too much of a risk?

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to BiggerBoat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to say good luck in your decision. I could have sworn my husband had written that letter until you mentioned the area that you live in, especially with that user name. I will turn 40 at...

    MedSurgRNiowa replied to bpo93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry to hear that. At least you kind of knew that it would happen. Ok, now I am scared. The next class begins Summer of 2007. I will be sad if I do not get in and wonder what I will do. I...

  22. Decision about future

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

    I, too, have just recently made the decision to change careers and go into nursing, if I get accepted. It is exciting, isn't it? I have always wanted to be a nurse ever since I was 18 and became a...
