  1. A&P here I come!

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As I've written before, I have had a terrible time with getting into A&P because so many need to take it and there are so few classes. This year it looks like they added several more, included...

  2. A&P here I come!

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

    That was my problem. My school goes by how many credit hours you have completed and registration for spring opened up before fall semester was done. So I had zero credits for fall and spring...

  3. Anyone else taking on-line courses?

    IaCountryGirl replied to Nurse Allison's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My classes are on WebCT as well. You should recieved information in the mail from the instructor prior to the start of class. Read it over carefully and note any requirements. Some instructors...

  4. What are you taking nexrt semester?

    IaCountryGirl replied to RunnerLuvLisa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For summer, I'm taking Fundamentals of Communication and then two classes that are about half a semester each called health skills. I've heard they are extremely boring classes! But they are a...

  5. Microbiology before A & P I & II

    IaCountryGirl replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I asked the same question awhile back because I couldn't get into A&P before Micro. Anyway, Im in micro this semester and I have had zero problems. I don't think the two really overlap. I've...

  6. others doubting your decision

    IaCountryGirl replied to mukhorty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At times in my life, I've had people tell me negative things about my choices. I've learned to ignore them and move on. Rather then argue, I silently vow to prove them wrong and usually do. Rather...

  7. Crazy Student in Class!! A little long vent!

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

    I would ignore her for now and see how things go. If she bothers you guys in the next couple classes, then it's time to take some action. The next time she says something, I would politely but...

  8. Microbiology Spring 2007

    IaCountryGirl replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have Micro two nights per week. Mon and Wed with lab on Wed after lecture. LOVE my instructor. She is hilarious. She says she's only had one student fail her class and that's because that...

  9. Med Terminology

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I decided to get a head start on my basic med term class. EEK! It's challenging. First chapter is on the basic word structure. I made up flashcards of the prefixes, suffixes and combining forms....

  10. Internet Classes

    IaCountryGirl replied to starzzmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It might be different for your school then mine. I have a web address that's linked to the college website that I go to and log into what's called WebCT. All my internet classes are listed on the...

  11. Medical Terminology

    IaCountryGirl replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking the basic med term class. It's 2.5 credits vs the 4 credit med term class. I am taking it in the packet format and I have already received my packet. It looks simple enough and I can't...

  12. Student/College Loan Information Needed

    IaCountryGirl replied to Seven, RN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't forget to fill out the FAFSA. You may be eligible for a Pell Grant. And the student loans aren't bad either- I had a gov student loan prior to this and the interest rate is very reasonable not...

  13. How's my class schedule plan????

    IaCountryGirl replied to treeguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would only take one science class per semester and fill in with other prereq's around it. Sociology is a bunch of reading. From what I hear, so is psychology. I was going to attempt to take both...

  14. Are your grades in yet?

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only two of my 6 classes have posted my final grades. Currently I have a 3.75 grade point average. I will probably stay above 3.0 but not sure how far above since I did get a B+ in one of my...

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

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

    To me, Comp is basically preparing you to be a well rounded person when you graduate. Just like all the other gen ed classes. Comp is not a prereq at my school, but you do have to take it before you...

  16. Becoming more assertive

    IaCountryGirl replied to dorselm's topic in General Students

    As the other person said, practice using the word no. And don't give specific reasons as to why you can't. It's none of the other person's business truthfully. When you say no then give a reason as...

  17. how to deal with a difficult classmate

    IaCountryGirl replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone else, you need to go to the director NOW. She's the type that won't give up and it will very well escalate to assault unless she's put in her place. If she truely wants to be a...

  18. Micro before A&P?

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first semester is winding down and now it's early spring registration week. Since I am a current student, but haven't technically earned any credits yet, I get to register the very last day of...

  19. Micro before A&P?

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

    I will be taking it next semester so I will let you know how it

  20. Figuring grades, help

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How do I figure my grade for a class based on points? THe instructor doesn't post them in % form, just the points we earned on an assignment or test. I add up the points I've earned and divide it by...

  21. Spring 2007 Classes

    IaCountryGirl replied to KEVO05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking Micro, basic med terminology, general psych and my humanities elective which is a history class called Ancient Mediteranean World. I so hope the history class is interesting! I could...

  22. Micro before A&P?

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

    THanks for everyone's input. I am going to go ahead with Micro now. There's 11 spots left and I can register tomorrow at 8 am so you can bet I'm going to be up early and at my computer waiting...

  23. Micro before A&P?

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

    THe basic biological concepts class was a refresher on bio and chem. A&P is a prereq but micro is not. BUT the big thing is, my school requires you to take all 7 prereq's and all 7 gen ed...

  24. Online classes

    IaCountryGirl replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you :) But truth be told, I'm a big proscrastinator! But I have a system set up so I make sure I stay on time or ahead. Try two, see how it goes and then you can do 3 the next semester. In...

  25. Online classes

    IaCountryGirl replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before you get too discouraged, just think about it. It varies by class, by instructor and by college. I take 5 online class - 3 three credit hour classes and 2 one credit hour classes. The three...
