i mailed off my first application monday, won't hear back on that one until may... the other 2 schools start accepting applications february 1st. i'm so excited to be applying!! i'm applying to three adn programs: los medanos cc san joaquin delta cc...

thanks so much for the encouragement. i am applying to multiple schools.. but i live in oakley (far east bay) so LMC would just be PERFECT, my number one choice by far; unless of course i got accepted at cal state east bay.. but that won't happen f...

aw thanks for the encouragment guys :) i'm finishing my last pre req this fall & then i begin the task of applying, i've got about 7 schools in a 60 mile radius. i feel so calm with the whole process of it until i come onto allnurses forums and ...

it makes me so darn anxious! when i hear people talking about being accepted or having to wait 3 years to be accepted it just makes the butterflies in my stomach start a fluttering. lol. anyone else? sheesh how am i going to stand actually applying...

MisStake... i don't even know you and i could almost cry for you. that is just so wonderful, congrats on getting IN!!!!!

so INSANELY jealous of you guys! lol i'm finishing my last pre requisite this fall and it just makes me so anxious that i might have to wait 3 cycles, ugh! anyway.. congrats to all of you that have been accepted. best of luck to you!!!

one of the tougher subjects/chapters was on cellular respiration... be on the look out for that stuff.. i had to study VERY hard to get an A in micro, hardest class *for me* to date.. much harder then A&P imho.

Yay for sahm's.. I'm one too and I am in a similar situation to you. I go to school at night when hubby can stay with our two children. Money is a factor and so is daycare paranoia! lol. Okay I mean well here, so don't take this the wrong way.. but ...

So my micro final is tonight. I planned on selling my micro book back, but now I'm having second thoughts, my teacher had mentioned that some of the material would be on the NCLEX.. So I'm wondering if maybe I should just hold onto it.. Any thoughts?...

I'm taking: nutrition (online) prealgebra political science (us government) history (civil war to present) (online) Yay.. easy after taking all that science stuff. :)

Not selfish at all. You're very lucky that your husband supports that!

Hi! Stay at home mother of 2 here, 6 yo boy and 13 mo girl. What you've described sounds do-able because it's online and they are not the real demanding science classes.(otherwise I'd say "are you crazy?") It's probably going to be stressful though....

Okay don't laugh,.. but there are fertility clinics around that pay 5,000 dollars for egg donations. For some reason that is the only thing that came to mind. But you are saying you can't get a personal loan? What about family members?

On Tuesday we began a three day lab unknown. One of the things we did was a streak plate. The problem is I blanked and didn't flame my loop in between streaking the 3 different areas.. Am I not going to able to get isolated colonies tonight when I go...

Hi Liz. Welcome to the group. I have gathered a lot of motivation and reconfirmation of my dream to become a nurse from these forums. So I hope that we can help you in your quest as well. Good Luck. As a mother I can totally understand your hesitenc...

woah..You are talking about college right? I read plenty of horrible essays in English as well. I figured it wasn't my job to make anything but vague suggestions that were not even close to criticism for that very reason.. Plus at the end of the day...

I got an A on my second Microbiology lecture exam. It was on the Microbial metabolism chapter, a very challenging chapter. I am over the moon that my hard work payed off!! :) Sorry to brag. No time to relax though.. lab practical on Thursday. Lab s...

I just wouldn't rely totally on your notes. Try and understand everything in the chapters as well. Our teacher tested heavy on microbial metabolism.. Knowing the products of glycolosis, krebs cycle, and the eletron transport chain was big.. Knowing w...

I got an "a" on the last test but I literally studied 2+ hours a day, taped the lectures, met with a classmate to study and used the cd rom that came with my book to do it. I was determined. If I can do it, so can you. I swear I thought I was not cap...

I have to get back to you later tonight after class.. But I do have some tips. What chapters will be on your test?

I want to help someone from making the same mistake I did. We had a 10 point quiz in lab last night on the water tests we've been doing for fecal contamination. (you know the one where a positive result is when the bacteria ferment the lactose brot...

Hey it's still early.. You CAN get an A in the class:)

Thanks.. We had our test on this last Thursday and we did, in fact, have a question asking for the various ways ATP is made. I don't think I mentioned anything about the electron transport chain in the explaination of oxidative phosphorylation, so I'...

Our teacher hinted at an essay question regaurding the various ways ATP is made. I am having a hard time differentiating between Subrate level phosporylation and oxidative phosphorylation. Can someone put it into laymans (sp?) terms so that this stuf...
