thanks a lot ! yes, that seems like the route to go. the math part of it all is not hard at all, just getting used to setting up the problems is tricky. but like you said.. the more I do it, the easier it will become. great advice. thanks !

is hard ! right now learning conversion factors in dimensional analysis for problem solving. any tips ? I have a hard time converting when there are two different units.. for example : Worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are estimated at 1X10^9th (scientific notation) tons/year. what is this emission rate in kg/hr ?

well, my teacher is nuts.. plain and simple. he kills EVERYTHING to death. all 15 pages. i'm studying my butt off... first exam i got a 70% and the second one was a 66%. his tests are so detailed, and very very tricky. don't know if i can even get a B out of this class. i'm just ranting. Hopefully can even get a C. Never had a C before. Never had this much trould with a class. AHH ! is general chem any easier ?

first pay check was $834 .. worked 92 hours. i get 9.75/hr and 10.75/hr on weekends. messed up on my W2, having put 2 dependants when i should have put 1 !! got it fixed though, hoping to get money back

thanks for your reply !! I know I just needed to study more. The information it self isn't hard, there is just a lot of it ! Thanks again!!!

SUCKED !!! I got a low C. I'm usually a B student, so I'm freaking out. The test was 7 pages of very detailed questions. Just venting, scared to see the outcome of this class.

... lab question: why are there no "staphylobacillus" groupings in terms of bacterial shape thanks in advanced

cannot for the life of me decide what to do as far as my nursing education plans. as of now, i am working on gen.ed classes, and i'm a CNA. should i get my CMA, should i apply into an LPN program, should i apply for the BSN program?? do not really know where to go from here !! any advice or thoughts or experience would be soooo helpful, even though i know this is sort of a personal choice, just need some pointers and such !! thank you in advanced

actually you roll the person AWAY from you !

highest part of bedpan goes in front

that sucks.... i love love LOVE my instructors!! our clinicals are the next 3 days @ the hospital, and then we have our state final skills and written exams !! so excited... but good luck

weird... my class final was today(monday) we go to the hospital for 3 days of clinicals and then this friday is our state final written exam and a skills test for the state! good luck everyone !

HAHAHAHAHHA, thats all i can do.... i actually laughed out loud!!

greaaatttt.... i knew i shouldn't have read this thread !!!!!! i have micro this fall good luck to all of you !

thanks for all the replies you guys !!! i love love love going to class each day.. even if it is 9-4 !! not to mention my instructors rock, which make it so much more enjoyable. My instructor mentioned the thing about someone else applying to the hospital with experience, and i understand that... so more than likely i will probably apply to a few ltc. congrats on passing on the first try !!! i cannot wait to go to the hospital for the three days of clinicals. after this CNA hoopla is overwith, the anxiety of pre-nursing classes sets in again!!! statistics and microbiology this fall, but excited that im getting closer to HOPEFULLY getting into a nursing school :) okay... done rambling good luck to you all, and thanks again !!!! after

thanks soo much for your help!! yes, i really hope i got as lucky as you did. we have to do 5 skills, so we'll see. yes, i have passed quizzes.. the most i've missed has been 2. question::: im looking for jobs @ local hospitals and under experience it says required: none, but under perferred it says: 6mons. work in other facility. it's okay if i still apply right, even though i dont have experience and it's not required ?? im thinking so! thanks again

and im reallllly nervous about the tests. i have to take a written test from my instructor and then the skills and another test for the state... so very nervous, but i think i will do okay... atleast i hope so !!! just had to rant

i too am taking statistics and a bio class(micro)...well this fall i am... GOOD LUCK !!!

greaaatttt ..... i'm taking statistics this fall... and if i wasn't already worried enough ... good luck with whatever decision you make

thanks soooo MUCH !!!!

statistics and microbiology ... and maybe psychology. dunno if i can handle that load and working ?????

i dont have to study a lot to pass a class... but i have to study a lot if i want an A... i think i got a B in pyschology college prep in high school, but who knows what to expect. i really want to focus on math and science, and have a med. GPA, and cannot bring it down. i got an A in intermediate algebra... i did my HW,attended classes, and studied before tests... i have a little harder time in biology ... i didnt study all the time... but i did and ended up with a B in intro to biology.

this fall semester i'm taking microbiology and statistics and will be a CNA part time.. i was also interested in taking psychology as well, but do not know if this is too much..... what do you think /??? thanks in advanced !!!!

what is the NET test, and why do you have to take it ??

i'm taking micro this fall as well !!! i'm sooo nervous. Have you taken statistics yet ?? or do you even have to take it ?? i'm taking that this fall as well ! good luck
