  1. D'youville College

    SingDanceRunLife replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I was accepted last year...but I turned them down for Le Moyne College's DDPN program with St. Joseph's College of Nursing. Le Moyne is much better! I did an overnight at both schools to help me...

  2. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel ya. This is my second time taking this class, so you can only imagine how much I hate it! I don't even care as long as I get a C

  3. Do you have a back up to Nursing?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to pumpkinpatchquilter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Early childhood or childhood ed...teaching preschool or kindergarten. I wrestled between doing this and nursing when I was searching for and applying to colleges, and I know I would be good at

  4. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I only got a 64 on my first lecture exam, but with the grade adjustment that's a C, and it's higher than the class average, so it's okay...especially since I didn't study nearly as much as I should...

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't do too well on my first practical...got a 72. Oh

  6. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ That sucks. In our lab we take pictures all the time! RE: taking digital pictures through microscopes...it's hard, but totally worth it! Once you get the technique down, it's not that bad, and then...

  7. Here are the chances of getting into a nursing program.

    SingDanceRunLife replied to computer101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, they are...but I would not say my chances were higher! I had a pretty terrible GPA, not so good ACT...maybe at the school that I'm attending did I have better chances, but what about larger/more...

  8. Here are the chances of getting into a nursing program.

    SingDanceRunLife replied to computer101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP: I applied right from high school...and I got in! But mind you, my GPA was awful (2.97), my ACT was low (23 composite), I had no AP classes on my transcript, no college classes etc...and I got into...

  9. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My last day is May 3. We're on chapter 3ish right now. Oh God...if we had to do any drawing whatsoever I would be screwed! Histology drawing as part of your grade? Why? I have my first practical...

  11. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My prof is crazy! She was trying to rush through things so we could have our test on Friday as per the schedule, and she kept saying "I don't care! I don't care" as she was going through the...

  12. is it necessary to go to high ranking nursing schools for RN?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to adorablesh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely not. I'm at a small LAC with an extremely strong nursing program! All major nursing classes and all clinicals are at one hospital that is a Magnet hospital (one of less than 300 in the...

  13. Why is there no medical terminology class for the RN program? Among others.

    SingDanceRunLife replied to amanda1266's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, while it's not a class, it's expected that you pick up medical terminology starting in A&P I. Often there is some terminology included on tests. My current A&P prof gave us a...

  14. What's the toughest part of A&PI?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school is only combined in that we take it at one time and get one grade...lecture is primarily physiology while lab is primarily anatomy. We don't go over anything from lab in lecture or vice...

  15. A&P usage in other Nursing courses

    SingDanceRunLife replied to 13905 BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've heard, it's only the big stuff that sticks because that's what you need. For example, you won't need to know all the little random foramina that you're asked to learn for lab. And like,...

  16. What's the toughest part of A&PI?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Muscles and nervous system were hardest my first time

  17. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh boy... I have my first lab practical a week from today, and my first lecture exam a week from tomorrow! Guess what I'll be doing all weekend? Locking myself in the library and studying! That's...

  18. How long did it take you to get into nursing school?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied direct entry from high school. All I have left for prereqs now are A&P 1 and 2. I took 1 last semester but withdrew because I wasn't going to get a C and I didn't want to ruin my GPA and...

  19. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ For the tissues, if you can get into the lab sometime before your test, go and bring your camera! Take pictures, print them, and make

  21. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how much time I'll put into A&P...it's one of 5 classes I'm taking and they all have a lot of reading! It's only the first week of classes though, so I have time to get into the swing...

  22. Allied Health vs. 4 year Nursing program

    SingDanceRunLife replied to kendallhubbard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is exactly why (for traditional students) I advocate direct entry programs 100%! They will take you 4 years because the curriculum is set up in a way that you do take a full load of 16-18 credits...

  23. What kind of pen do you use for your flash cards?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Elizabeth K.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Um...just a normal pen. My favorite (black) pen is my Bic Pro+ because it writes really smoothly, and lasts forever. I used it in all my classes all of last semester and am still using it

  24. A&P 1 over the summer in a month??

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Restoration's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II this summer in 5 weeks, 3.5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Lab is included. It'll be intense, but I have to do

  25. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 100 pages of reading so far from philosophy and religion. And then chapter 1 of anatomy I'll have to go over (won't have to actually read in its entirety though because I did last semester and...
