  1. PreReqs: How long has it taken

    AtomicWoman replied to ladybug725's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did the same: started in Fall 2007 and I'm finishing up my last couple this summer. I also have previous degrees that gave me some transferable credits, but I had absolutely no sciences on my...

  2. Can you get student loans after a Bankruptcy

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

    This is not true. If she just doesn't pay the bills, she will either have write-offs on her credit report (VERY bad, in a league with bankruptcy) or she will have many records on her report that say...

  3. anyone find out that they have a mental illness

    AtomicWoman replied to misssarahRN's topic in General Students

    Please don't delay any longer. You already know that the sooner you get help, the better. Your local county health service may have free or low-cost services. Or your school may also have a service....

  4. What is important?

    AtomicWoman replied to lel223's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take 'em both. They'll both help you understand the human body better and to think critically. NOT having them will increase the chances you won't be able to get into your nursing school of choice,...

  5. What courses if any are you taking this summer?

    AtomicWoman replied to williams3929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology (1st session) Chem II (2nd session) Anyone seen my life? Could you send it back to me? Ah well, the summer will go quickly... and then, it's on to nursing

  6. how important is chemistry ?

    AtomicWoman replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I adore chemistry, so I am prejudiced. :) Here's why I think it's helpful: 1. As Hotflashn said, it will help you understand other courses better: A&P in particular and Pharm in nursing school....

  7. Help! Chemistry Assistance!

    AtomicWoman replied to twinjeep97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, I think her professor is right. We are not permitted to sit during Chem lab. And as others have noted, their profs don't let them sit either. Last semester, one of my lab bench-mates...

  8. Jefferson FACT 2008 applicants?

    AtomicWoman replied to byrd262's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Reviving this thread... Does anyone know why they decided to stop giving out scholarships? I'm accepted to the APW program, but had at least held out the possibility of getting a scholarship in Year...

  9. I took the NCLEX-RN for the fourth time :(

    AtomicWoman replied to ZeldaJane's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you check the sticky on Suzanne's Plan? I know she has helped many people pass who had failed several times already. Suzanne is strict about the requirements and you'll need at least 45 days...

  10. Financial Aid question for those attending private schools

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For those of you who already know you're "in" at a private school, have they informed you about your financial aid package yet? I submitted my financial aid application in March and they told me today...

  11. Financial Aid question for those attending private schools

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

    Thanks for all the info. :) I'm starting a 2nd degree BSN program in September. I was relieved to read that Congress increased the Stafford loan amounts by $2,000 starting in July; that's 2K less I...

  12. Help! Chemistry Assistance!

    AtomicWoman replied to twinjeep97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you, first of all, having problems doing dimensional analysis? If so, then I recommend this prof's detailed tutorial (with quizzes!) on dimensional analysis. I think this guy is the greatest thing...

  13. Nursing: I'm just not that into it!

    AtomicWoman replied to carebear1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have found that humming some totally inappropriately cheerful song helps, too! Although I guess a nurse couldn't do that when a patient

  14. Rant! Unclear diagrams on exams

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

    My A&P professor always brought his *original* diagrams to the test, so that anyone who couldn't quite make out where a line went could look at his originals. It was really helpful. Sorry you had...

  15. Moving On?

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

    I plan to hang out mostly here until September. Then I'll migrate to the General Nursing Student discussion. :) Although I'm sure I'll check back and check out the chemistry

  16. Nursing: I'm just not that into it!

    AtomicWoman replied to carebear1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if anyone actually *likes* poop, pee, vomit, spit, sputum, you name it. But the nurses I know tell me it really does become no big deal. One time, my nurse practitioner had to put her...

  17. Nursing: I'm just not that into it!

    AtomicWoman replied to carebear1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gosh, I don't know if you meant to be funny, but when I read that, I was glad I wasn't drinking something; it would have come through my nose! Thanks for the

  18. How to get volunteer experience?

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

    Have you checked with local nursing homes? Perhaps they have volunteer positions for people who are willing to come in and visit with the

  19. Chem Spring 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I'm figuring nursing school *will* be my full-time job. I'm both scared and happy to think about being in a classroom where *everyone* is smart and motivated! Yes, let's dance!...

  20. Chem Spring 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is your final comprehensive, or is it just on the final X

  21. Chem Spring 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome! One word of advice about Mr. Guch's worksheets. I have done many of them and I have found A LOT of errors. Sometimes the answers are obviously the answer to a different question,...

  22. Plan B: Changing Majors?

    AtomicWoman replied to julz16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    He's probably only a sweetie because he hasn't been teaching for too long! Give him a few more years... Most of my profs pretty much go ballistic when they either notice someone texting or someone's...

  23. Plan B: Changing Majors?

    AtomicWoman replied to julz16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you look into doing home health care with the CNA certification? I know home health care doesn't excite most people :) but it is a way to get patient contact experience. Just my . You've probably...

  24. Plan B: Changing Majors?

    AtomicWoman replied to julz16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just make sure your prof doesn't see you! That's the one thing that makes all of my profs crazy -- besides people who chit-chat to each other during lecture. One of my profs doesn't say anything, but...

  25. My A&P and The Anatomy and Physiology Place

    AtomicWoman replied to dee78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found My A&P very helpful, and if you're using Marieb's text, I think I would go with that site. Have you checked out The Biology Place? It's open access and some of the stuff on cell structure...
