* get prepared as soon as you can, with a special study area. Get all your supplies, books, etc all set up before. I was still buying stuff the first week of school. Not ideal, financially it had to be that way. I felt so unorganized and can't wa...

Hello there. I just got into ARC, so we are probably in the same area. A friend of mine was at Sierra and she got a "c" which they consider too high of a grade to repeat, so she had to retake it at ARC. That might be an option for you. Your defini...

I took version 3 couple years ago ( it was paper and was taking it just to see what it was about) and took version 5 yesterday on the computer. Here is what I noticed: math was alot easier. No geometry this time. Just the basics with fractions, deci...

Continue to live your life. I have applied 4 times with a "no", just applied for the 5th time. I have learned that waiting to get in cannot dictate my life. I will be ecstatic when I do receive my acceptance letter, until then I have 3 kids that n...

Well, I am joining this thread late but I applied to ARC and Sac City and about a week ago I received both of my rejection letters This was my second time applying to both colleges. I am hoping that the third time is a charm.

I remember taking those pre-req science classes. I have 3 kids and the best way for me was to leave the house since that is a distraction. It seems as if there is always something that can be done (dishes, laundry, vacuuming, etc). I usually went/g...

Being from the Sac area and having already completed my pre-reqs....your best bet is to get enrolled in another class so the next time you will get priority registration. It is stiff competition just for the pre-reqs. I "heard" from another student w...

Well I applied for the fall (my first time applying) and did not get accepted. Hopefully next time. I took my CNA already. I am taking more classes in the fall that will count towards my Bachelors if I decide to go that far.

This sounds crazy, but helped me tremendously.....be able to multitask and here it goes. hold the bell with your left hand over brachial artery, with your right hand control valve releasing very slowly whith thumb and fore finger. same hand with yo...

support/compression stockings (got mine at Life uniform) and some nurse mates and aleve and you are good to go.

I just finished in CA, and it was a two part exam--written was multiple choice and then there is a skills exam. You have to perform 5 skills unknown until that moment on your "resident". HTH

Thanks so much, this is the best. I have 3 weeks left of my course, and now I can easily refresh in some areas!

Don't be nervous about this class if you already took API&II. You will do fine and find that alot of the material collaberates with your ap material. The material is interesting and I enjoyed the class alot (unfortunately I got a B though). J...

Take the experience!!!! This is an incredible learning opportunity--to learn about other people/cultures and from that you will learn more about yourself. Once you have little kiddos you will not be able to do that~and they can come upon you quick ...

I am taking both at the same time, and I think Micro is easier. Not simple though. I would definitely take the APII class again first, maybe try a different professor. It will help having the info fresh in your mind though. Good luck!

I am finishing my RN pre-reqs this semester and taking a CNA course in January and thanks for this info. I will be taking it to heart and make sure I ask away and LEARN!

Good luck to you. I plan on taking it in a few months. My friend said that there was not a lot of AP on hers but general science there was. English was fairly easy, and know your algebra. I hope that helps. Also, if no one else has asked for it ...

Thats 2 of 3 classes I am taking this semester, and I am usually an A student and have 2 mid B's this semester. --Trying to get them up to A's. It's doable, but the grade may suffer. I am also busy with my 3 kids who are in soccer, one is select that...

Hmmm, I am in Micro too and not sure on this....could be if you did a Gram stain you would at least be able to classify in either G+ or G-. If those don't show up, you might try Endospore staining (malachite green, heat as mordant, and safranin). T...

That has pretty much been the way my teacher is too. Do not rely on his notes, study out of the book and know how to apply all the concepts to life. The only difference is is took me the 2nd test to figure it out.....I am a little slow :)

That is so fantastic! I have a test tomorrow on metabolism, nutrition, and genetics. I will not be getting an A. You should be very proud of yourself! That is difficult stuff.

Good luck to you, our exam on metabolism, genetics and nutrition and growth is Thursday---I'm skeered :) Jennifer

uuggghh! I am doing APII and micro. WAS liking micro quite a bit until we hit microbe metabolism. I am having a hard time with the Krebs cycle, and glycolysis. Thank God my teacher didnt go over the calvin cycle. I couldn't handle it. I know th...

LOL I agree about the bones and muscles. I was walking down the hall Mon. at school and there was all those AP I students out there cramming last minute on the cell for a test and they were panicking I remember that, now I look back on it and that ...
