Hi y'all! Anybody taking A&P 1 this coming spring semester? I'm trying to get as many pre-req's out of the way as possible and could use a study buddy or 2! Thanks! :)

I'm about to submit my application to the nursing program at GA Highlands and I am so confused by the "nursing program worksheet". I don't want to fill it out wrong and have it go in the trash! If you haven't taken some of the courses do you just put...

Ok, so this is a small (well...maybe medium sized) pity party and vent. I am a brand new nursing student and I'm just feeling very disillusioned about the whole thing. I knew it would be hard, but I didn't know I would cry every day. I didn't realize...

I probably was! I sat about 3 rows back on the left side. Probably the best advice I can give you is bring your application in and turn it in by hand and try to have all your classes done with the highest grades possible. I think anything above an 1...

To JW, you sound like you'd be competitive to get in! Good luck! To everyone who wanted to know about the schedule, we go 3 days a week and have one online class day. We do everything at the Heritage Hall campus in Rome. So far so good, I really love...

I've just decided I won't try not to cry, I'll just study while I weep lol. My poor hubby thinks I have gone insane, but he's very supportive. I don't have to work while in school, so it's my only focus. I just have to get in the groove. Thanks for e...

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. I am glad to know it's normal to feel a little bamboozled at this point. I'm making it a point to study with classmates and we practice our skills together. If I don't make it through it won't be for la...

Hi ya'll! Anybody taking Micro this coming fall semester and want to form a study group? I did this for A&P I and II and it helped tremendously! I'm taking it along with Chem 1151 (Survey of Chem). Thanks!

CONGRATULATIONS Ocelot & Itsinthegenes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go!!!!!

Good luck Ocelot!!!!!!!!!!

Sure thing! I'll be attending Georgia Highlands and the program runs straight through from January '09 to May '10 so like 14 months? It's taken me approximately 1 1/2 years to do prereqs.

You can get your CNA at a lot of schools...I know KSU offers a course, and I believe Chatt Tech does as well. It's 8 weeks I think, and they usually meet evenings or weekends. A BSN will usually only take you a little bit longer than an ADN since an ...

SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! I just got my final grade and I made an A in Micro!!!!!!!!! Thank you everybody for all the support and study help, it really saved my life during this crazy semester!:heartbeat

If anyone needs to get a background check done, certifiedbackground.com does a great job and gets the results to you within 72 hours.

I am going to be starting my first semester of nursing school in January and I am curious as to what some of your experiences have been in NICU/Peds type areas. I am almost 100% sure that I would like to work with babies or children and wanted to get...

I agree with you that it will be very hard at times, but I think it's just where I would thrive. I've always adored babies and children in general and as hard as it would be to see them suffer, knowing that I'm helping them would make up for it. I ho...

You're in my prayers! Good luck, you'll do great!

I always make flashcards with the disease on one side and the causative agent, symptoms, etc on the other. I try to memorize them in groups according to what body system they occur in. For example, for the respiratory system I'd make flashcards for W...

I went to KSU for my first degree and I don't think you can take Chem 1151 and 1152 online because of the labs. I'm not sure about the other classes though. Hopefully someone on here will have been through the program. I'd like to know more about it ...

Congratulations!!!!!! That is so awesome!!!:yeah:

I take 120 mg of Inderal (propanolol - sp?) every day to prevent migraines and it works pretty well. It's decreased them down from every single day to maybe 2 a week. I also take Midrin when they get started and it will usually cut them off before th...

Thank you so much for the response! I'm getting my ADN and will definitely eventually pursue my BSN. I would love to work at CHOA and hope I can get into their new grad program in 2010.

That's fantastic!!! Way to go!!!!!!! You should be very, very proud of yourself!

Congratulations!!! You're on your way!!!

Good luck RNBound83 & Stacygirl!
