  4. Not enough hours in a day.

    I'm so there with you! Whenever I look at the bigger picture of my schedule like you just did, I get so stressed over how overwhelming it is! But if I just take it one day at a time, prioritize my...
  5. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    That's exactly what I do too. It's been my saving grace when it comes to making As in my classes and staying sane in the
  6. Do you think grades are universal?

    That's funny that you mention that you have better grades now that you're in a cc than you did when you attended a university. I went the opposite route... attended a cc full-time 10 years ago and am...

  11. I got in!!!

    Wow, that's wonderful!
  12. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    I had a very similar experience! I was talking with a small group in my physio lecture class and one mentioned that she had an interview with a nursing school. She was really talkative and friendly...
  13. To all Ethics students

    I'm in intro to ethics too. Not so much homework intensive here, but the class material is difficult for me. I've heard that the tests are harder in this particular class due to the lack of homework....
  14. I got accepted!

    Congratulations! And please don't feel silly about being excited to get into a school (whether you're pre-nursing or otherwise)... I remember feeling just as elated to be admitted to my university...
  15. Going CRAZY waiting for Decision Letter

    That's wonderful! Congratulations! LOL about still not being able to sleep... if it's not one thing, it's another, that's for
  16. Going CRAZY waiting for Decision Letter

    Another waiter here who can understand how you're feeling! Fortunately (or unfortunately) for me, I still have at least another six weeks of waiting before freak-out mode sets in :) From your post,...
  17. Lab Coats in Anatomy Lab?

    ITA with you about micro. And don't forget about that crystal violet in Gram staining... that stuff gets all over everything and is a pain to get
  18. Lab Coats in Anatomy Lab?

    Nope, I wasn't required either. It was never even suggested. We weren't required to in micro either, although it was mentioned in the course outline if not by the instructor herself. I'm in...
  19. So NERVOUS!

    Relax... if anything that's what's going to kick your butt I'm sure you're adequately prepared! Best of luck to you
  20. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    I'm another taking them separately. But I've already had anatomy so I'm in physiology this time around. First class was last Saturday. Just covered the basics of chemistry. So far so
  21. Ratemyprofessors.com?

    I've used it before... not to choose classes per se, just more as a reference to get a feel for the classes/professors I've already signed up for. The state university I currently attend really...
  22. How many people thought A & P was easy?

    Anatomy and physiology are two separate courses here (as opposed to lumped together over two semesters). I took anatomy several years ago and thought it was way easy... just a bunch of memorization...
  23. Cost is absolutely a factor here. My husband is the sole income provider in the family and it's a military income to boot (= not much), so that plus two kids... well, the cash certainly isn't flowing...
  24. Thanks everyone

    It's good to hear he's recovering well! And good ol' home cooking like that will chunk him up in no time
  25. What's your schedule like next semester?

    Count me in! I have 5 classes left to go in order to finish my pre-reqs and I'm hoping to get into a program for Fall '07. I'm taking both day and evening courses that span Monday through Saturday....
