I have been to Desert Regional Medical Center, as a visitor a few times and it is a nice hospital too. It is definately HOT there. My mom lives near Palm Springs (About 20 miles away), and it's usually over 100 in the summer months. Rent is cheaper b...

^^^Those always get me! Some, the answer is as clear as day, and others like that one don't make sense to me. Does anyone have any explinations? Oh BTW "cow" is only a term for a bovine after it gives birth to a baby, before that it is a heffer. So ...

So what is the aswer? I would say Blue:Pink. Just curious. My husband used the Barron's guide for a Police officers exam. He decided it wasn't for him, but he liked the study guide.

Actually my school almost didn't get any cats this year. PETA was throwing a fit which is ironic, because their president or CEO or whatever had a heart bipass, which if we didn't have animals to dissect and practice on, we would have never known how...
We just finished up the lab test for muscles, and had to say good bye to our lab cat Mr. Biggelsworth (yes we named him). I had no problem with the dissection. I am also taking general Bio, and have already dissected a fetal pig. Still no biggie. BUT...

When we were complaining at the start of the cat dissection, my professor said , "well at least yours are already dead!" This struck us as odd, so we asked what she meant, she said that she had to dissect live animals so they could see how everything...

I don't think a cadaver would bother me, it just the silly living frog! Oh I read somewhere that some university has had the same cadaver for the last 10 years. The students just use it to observe. The teacher puts her hand inside the cadaver and pu...

Well... I am already married and have 2 kids, and I don't drink, so those things are not really a problem for me. I think I read on their website if you were over a certain age you were excused from some of the Chapel services. But that doesn't bothe...
I live in San Diego, and I am doing pre req's at Grossmont. Their waiting list is around 2 years, and SDSU has so many requirements, it makes my head spin! So Point Loma Nazarene is definately another option. I was wondering if any of you have attend...

I do believe they are still having problems with their accreditation. Last I heard they were telling students not to worry about it. I am in A&P 1 right now so I still have to finish A&P 2 plus micro before I can even get on their waiting lis...

Brighella What was your education path? Where did you do your pre rec's? I have been flip flopping on whether I want to get my ADN or my BSN. I am currently at Grossmont, but State's admission criteria is crazy. Just wondering. Thanks

Just got my first lecture exam back, and I am broud of my C!!!:yelclap: Next week we have our Lab exam. I have seen so many bones, I am tired of surgical necks, and acromion surfaces, and fossa's. Just glad I passed my 1st exam. (I got an F on our 1s...

I am currently enrolled in A&P 1 for the 1st time, but it is HARD! I studied my tushie off, and I did not feel confident after our test today. But many, many in the class have taken it before. For some this is the 2nd time around, for a few more ...

You can call the FAFSA number, I saw it on their website. Other than going into your school????? Breathe. By the way, is this a community college, or University? Just wondering, because my school let's me know way ahead of time how much I can expect...

Well yesterday was my 1st day, we already had a test, and the class is full with about 80 people. We have our 1st lab today. I am excited, but I am worried about picking a lab partner. Everyone in the class seems so competitive. I was talking to a gi...
Wonderful Post!! My grandfather passed away at 92 exactly 1 yr ago today. I think it's amazing that I found this post today, anyway, he had many of the same experiences mentioned above. He kept talking about all the visitors. Now he did have a few fr...
Love Coronado replied to RN,BSN84's topic in Pre-Nursing
I dropped economics, it talked a lot about politics and how our economy works and a lot of terms and I found it completely boring. Statistics is equally boring, but more "Math". Statistics asks questions like if there are 2 red marbles, and 3 blue ma...

Hi Lost I did the exact same thing. I took Chemistry, then stats, Child development, speech, psychology, and now I can't believe I have to take A&P I, Bio 120, (this spring) then A&P II then Micro. I should have done that 2 semesters ago!!! G...

I have a 5 y/o DD and 9 y/o DS. They are constantly "bugging" each other. I found going to the park, and letting them play while I sit on a bench and read or study works great. In the summer (I always do summer school) I take them to the beach and le...

I am taking A&P 1 this spring but I took Psychology last summer. It was pretty easy, and interesting. I had a really great teacher, but it was only a 6 week class. We had tests every week. I got a B and really never studied that hard (since it wa...

I haven't taken Micro yet but did take Stats. It is tough, and takes a lot of time. I have ALWAYS been a good math student, I never got less than a B in anything that has to do with math including Chem., but in Stats I got a C, and I was happy with t...

I took Communications last spring. I was one of the older students in the class, and felt completely out of place. But everything that the other posts say is true. Even if the other students have to "grade" your speech, they only pay attention for a ...
