    DesertRain replied to jesa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DesertRain replied to jesa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know how you feel as my CC goes by points as well and based on the selection criteria for the last class I am also right at the cut-off. I wish I had some advice to give you but I think you already...

  5. Body Worlds?

    DesertRain replied to BrwnEyedGirl9402's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in Las Vegas and we have Bodies at the Tropicana Hotel. I went and saw it and it was absolutely fascinating. The bodies don't look "real" for some reason but it is truly amazing. It doesn't...

    DesertRain replied to ontocrna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  9. PDA's, iPods, and all the tech gadgets...

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

    I know that's why I'm kinda bummed. I invested the $$$ into the phone and probably should have just gotten a regular cell phone and a PDA. The sad thing about it is I'm not even one of those people...

  10. Anatomy without a book??

    DesertRain replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DesertRain replied to euglena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah see, that's my concern too. I have always been good at English but I am afraid of the words they will use on the exam. I read somewhere that someone said only 2 or 3 of the words in the study...

  16. NLN Pre-Entrance Exam

    DesertRain replied to euglena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Medical Terminology

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

    I would have taken this class if my school offered it! I think it should be a pre-req as I found that people who were familiar with medical terminology did better in my microbiology and even a&p...
