I am a let's say 30 something, 3 kids husband who travels. I am taking Anatomy, Math, and Comp this semester. I can't seem to remember this anatomy stuff. I tried writing and rewriting my notes, I just don't seem to be studying the stuff that's o...

I was just wondering for those of you who have graduated was your nursing school grades comparable to your grades for prereq's? I am still on my rereq's and I can't seem to get anything over a B in Chemistry. I'm happy with that for now but it got me...

My college offers anatomy and physiology sep. I am taking anatomy now, not doing well and thinking of dropping it and retaking it during the summer. I am taking 2 other courses this semester along with anatomy. Any opinions?

so i if i withdrawl without academic assessment is that the same as retaking it????

Just my opinion but sleeping all day while a 2 year old is awake an unattended is not the best idea in the world . . . putting him/her in daycare is a more responsible route to take.

I took Chem the first time ever last semester. It was my first semester back in college after 15 years. Don't worry about the math, I too am "math challenged" and it's really not hard, I worried about that too. So relax, and if you get behind in c...

I completely agree, this is the USA and English is the primary language . . . I so do not understand this. My intention is to not offend anyone, I am from the mid-west so this is not common around here but come on, to me this is ridiculous. A pers...

I'm sorry I just don't understand this, they are his kids too, my dh is on his feet all day and still comes home and does his fair share . . . but I knew when I married him he would be a very "hands on" father. Don't worry about going to back to scho...

I'm not trying to be mean, but just give my point of view. Why do you have to wait for him to ok it? I have problems with Dad's who think taking care of their children when mom is gone as babysitting. I am a stay at home mom myself, I just return...

This was my first semester back in college after 15 or so years. My final grade is a C, I was looking for opinions . . . should I retake it? I really didn't get it, I don't think I'm chemistry minded which worries me, if I can't grasp chemistry wha...

Maybe that's why everyone is grumpy

Although this has nothing to do with nursing my first thought was Tis the season to be . . . BROKE! Mom to 3 kids and full time student speaking here!

Is this your first semester, or do you have solid study habits?? I would not take Micro and Chem, but I have 3 kids to care for and a husband that travels every week . . . so I guess it all depends on your life. Are you able to dedicate yourself? ...

I "got" the dimensional analysis thing, it was the other stuff that I had a hard time with . . . I guess maybe because it was so abstract. I just couldn't get my head around it.

I am trying to decide on which route to go ADN vs. BSN, if I go for the ADN I would probably be going to Penn Valley so any thoughts or opinions you have on Penn Valey would be appreciated!

Well, my final chem grade is only a C. I'm not real happy about that but I guess at least I don't have to retake it.

My final for Chem was supposed to be Tuesday, but with the yucky midwest weather school was closed . . . just got an e-mail saying we will take it Sat 9 a.m. I have a B, just hoping to stay at that grade. I really wish it was over with already!

Maybe I figured my GPA wrong but isn't 3.0 a B average? I am making all B's and I thought I had a 3.0, maybe I just figured it wrong. What really bites me is that all my B's are 88 - 89%, yeah my fault I know but still sooooo close but soooo far a...

Maybe brush up on metric conversions . .. I didn't know them when I started and it was just one more thing for me to learn.

Ok so I figured my grades for all my classes. Without the finals they will be all B's, high B's but still B's. The finals scare me to death, sometimes I can't even remember what was in the last chapter let alone what we did 2 months ago. I am kind ...

Is this a book you would recommend to a prenursing student, is it an eye opening book? I've read and heard of the "shock" after graduation, just wanted to get a little more info on what to expect. If not this book, is there another you would recom...

What about taking 3 next semester and then the other one during summer session? This semester was my first semester back in over 15 years, I started with 4 classes then dropped to 3. I also have 3 kids ages 3, 9 and 10; I think if I would have kept...

If you don't mind me asking, why Penn Valley as opposed to other nursing programs in Kansas City area. I am weighing my options, Penn Valley or St. Lukes, UMKC, Graceland etc.

Speaking of making life decisions at the age of 18, I know I for one wasn't in any position to do it . . . I do find it kind of interesting that you have to be 21 to buy a drink but do you have to be a certain age to pass meds???? Just some food for ...

Congrats!!! You should be very proud of yourself and what a great example for your kids.
