I'm getting worried. Anyone have any helpful tips other than study & repeat. LOL.

I'm itching to get this out of me and think this is the best place to do it. Why do people complain about A&P being hard. Please, read everything before you get upset. :-D I'm taking A&P right now (summer 2) and am struggling slightly to mak...

Granted I'm taking A&P in a summer semester, but, I find that a LOT of the people who have not had bio before are floundering and dont understand. I had BIO Spring semester and now so many things are continued on. I already know the bones of the ...

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. :) Can't wait to peek through everything here. PS - Are you getting the same storms I'm getting? (DFW)

Right now we're using Jenkins "Anatomy And Physiology: From Science to Life" next semester the school is switching to Marieb's 7th edition Anatomy & Physiology. screw 'em.

If you're not a strong science student, I strongly suggest bio prior to A&P.

you want to be a nurse but have no idea what it takes to be one or how to get there? i'd start at the beginning and research what it means to be a nurse. know what type of compensation you'd be able to expect and what your general duties could be dep...

Skip straight to the bones, muscles, & organ systems. The parts of the cell & chem are easier to learn in lecture (I think) and the others take a lot more hands on time.

Where are you weak? I would suggest stick with A&P, Chem, & Micro material right now. Pick up a coloring book and go through it. You'll get a general idea of where things are located. Ideally you'll want to help yourself get a good understan...

my first lab pract. is on Monday. Fill in the blank, yikes!

Before class, I've read the chapter w/o taking notes. Then, I listen in class. If the outline notes are available online, I have them printed off and I just listen and jot down things that I dont understand or were repeated or seem important. If note...

You actually made me laugh. Really.

I'm just curious to see the responses to this, and maybe there's a thread like this which I missed, but why do YOU want to be a nurse? If you're fresh from HS, why did you choose nursing over other career options? If you're returning to school, why ...

I was wondering after the working while in school thread, for the pre-nursing students, how many credit hours do you take in a semester? This semster I was in 16 (5 classes) and this summer I'll knock out 10 and next fall I think I'm taking 16 again....

psst, second link doesnt work.

My opinion is that it's because of the cultural shift in manners and acceptable behavior. Parents work and often dont have enough energy ot time left over to properly raise their children, they mistake disrespect with independence, and dont feel the ...

I agree with Laura. If the nursing director thinks you'll be OK, then I would stick with it.

Luckily for me my teachers have not been disrespectful to me, but just slightly oblivious. My history teacher, when a mistake was found, just shrugged it off and told us to study the "right" answer as it was a mistake on the answer key. Never once di...

I dont have to work yet and I'm so very thankful for that. I have the mindset that with a 7 month old I'll go as long as possible not working so I can spend my spare time with him and "be there" while he grows up.

That not returning the tests with the scantrons really really gets to me. In THREE different classes I've found errors in my score by comparing the scantron to the test. I thought teachers WANTED their students to do well?

I did a google search and found this site http://daphne.palomar.edu/ccarpenter/Models/model%20index.htm I'm thrilled as this is going to help me so much to be able to study the models at home so I dont have to cram into the sicence lab to study them.

Dead people weird me out too, but I think I would learn a lot more having a body to see everything we're learning about in. KWIM? But yeah, way up on the gross-o-meter.

I can't wait until I can be the one posting this. :) :balloons: Go celebrate! ~ CeraLeigh

The "weird" thing for me though is that the school I'm going to apply to for my BSN also offers the CRNA. However, they don't require physics or calc!:uhoh21: I dont know if they put those courses into the BSN courses or what, but the prereqs for the...
