  5. Physiology and Microbiology same semester

    AtomicWoman replied to stackbundles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Doable, if you give up your life. :) I did A&P 2, Chem I and nutrition last spring, and it was tough, but I got As in all 3. I did the nutrition online. That was a big help, since I didn't have to...

  6. A bedbath NIGHTMARE!

    AtomicWoman replied to IJustWant2pass's topic in General Students

    Great idea! Then the OP's issue with not wanting to breathe with her mouth open could be solved. She can keep her mouth open behind her mask. :) I also like the talking-while-cleaning-up suggestion....

  9. A bedbath NIGHTMARE!

    AtomicWoman replied to IJustWant2pass's topic in General Students

    As long as it's not pure essential oil of peppermint. That would burn the skin. I wouldn't use peppermint oil unless it were VERY dilute. Actually, I don't think I would use it on the skin at all....

  10. A bedbath NIGHTMARE!

    AtomicWoman replied to IJustWant2pass's topic in General Students

    First of all, your partner acted very immaturely! I am so sorry about that. I'm sure current nursing students will come up with some great suggestions, but I have a couple. (I'm not yet a nursing...

  11. Chemistry Exam Confusion

    AtomicWoman replied to DesertRoseAZ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If that's the case, that is unfair of him. But be that as it may, you'll have to adapt to his testing style. Can you determine if the questions were at least in the textbook? If that's the case, then...

  12. Do you have to be really good in science to go into nursing??

    AtomicWoman replied to notenufshoes's topic in General Students

    The only fly in the ointment is that the science prereqs are very important for getting accepted to nursing school. So if you feel a little shaky about science, start out slowly, with 1 (preferably)...

  13. Need a little uplifting!

    AtomicWoman replied to Starting_Over_Again's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. any one else feeling really discouraged about getting in?

    AtomicWoman replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AtomicWoman replied to marie_ash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. any one else feeling really discouraged about getting in?

    AtomicWoman replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you take it at Jeff, the admissions people will get the scores sent to them automatically. Or at least that's how it was when I took it in August 2007. (Turned out I didn't need the NET for my JEFF...

  17. Jefferson BSN Students?

    AtomicWoman replied to RNSES's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Believe it or not, I switched from APW to FACT and I'll be starting the FACT program in May. For me, the FACT program makes a whole lot of sense for a bunch of reasons. So to answer your question, I...

    AtomicWoman replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Believe it or not, I found a photo of a special type of bed that is used for cholera patients in countries where cholera is prevalent. The bed has a hole in the middle, and they put a bucket...

  20. Microbiology - Fall 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AtomicWoman replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OMG! I love it! I also can't believe one of them defended her "right" to chat during class! Usually, the texters/chatters who get caught are embarrassed, at least at my

  25. any one else feeling really discouraged about getting in?

    AtomicWoman replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the ASN program fills up slower than the Bachelor's programs. Or at least that was the case the last couple of years. Don't worry; just get that app. in!
