  1. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SurroDoula replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A really dumb way that I remember the differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic is to remember an incident that happened in the past (ironically when I was studying these systems for...

  2. A&P I Jump start

    SurroDoula replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I would work on learning the bones and muscles. I found the bones to be easier than muscles - we had to know where all the different features were. For muscles we had to learn the names of the...

  3. Losing my superpowers

    SurroDoula replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could have written this post word for word, except I'm in anatomy, and Physiology I (separate classes). I have exactly one month until I write my last final, and have a midterm in each class this...

  4. Late career choice @ 35

    SurroDoula replied to blessed_2Bhere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accepted for this fall, and I'll turn 35 a week after starting! There are definitely lots of us out

  5. The waiting game! For everyone starting Summer/Fall 2010

    SurroDoula replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm happy to say that I'll be starting right after the long weekend in September! I was accepted last week. I haven't received my acceptance letter yet (found out I was accepted online) so I'm...

  6. Getting into BScN (Edmonton)

    SurroDoula replied to wonderwoman92's topic in International Nursing

    Lol, yup, I already did that math a long time ago - $70 for Canadians, $140 for international. The advisor told me they have only one person that goes through the nursing school applications. And of...

  7. Getting into BScN (Edmonton)

    SurroDoula replied to wonderwoman92's topic in International Nursing

    Well, I've been to three info sessions now (over the past 2.5 years) and I've never gotten the impression that it would be any easier to get in as a mature student. Interestingly, I am a mature...

  8. Getting into BScN (Edmonton)

    SurroDoula replied to wonderwoman92's topic in International Nursing

    I think that 9 credits are considered full time (and that's when you start paying for things like the U-pass). So you could take 4 classes in one term and three in another, and still be ok (I'm...

  9. help please! i'm studying inefficiently!

    SurroDoula replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, like you, I'm getting A's, and I'm also putting a massive amount of work into it. I think it's probably just the nature of the beast with this type of class if you want to do really well,...

  10. Who's starting (or hoping to start) this fall?

    SurroDoula replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got accepted for Fall!!! I feel relieved more than anything, they had made a decision 5 weeks ago, but had made that decision incorrectly. It took 5 weeks, many phone calls, and a ton of...

  11. Getting into BScN (Edmonton)

    SurroDoula replied to wonderwoman92's topic in International Nursing

    Well, I'm also trying to get into the program at MacEwan, and it is apparently VERY competitive. I met with an advisor last week, and she told me they average between 1000 to 2000 applicants for...

  12. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SurroDoula replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I just wrote my first exam in anatomy tonight, and I think I did really well! I got 88.5% on my first physiology exam, and thought that one was harder (but still not too bad), so hopefully my...

  13. Discouraged...need encouragement

    SurroDoula replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it! When I started out 2 years ago, I had to upgrade most of my high school courses because my marks were mediocre to say the least, and my previous GPA was something like 1.6! I was scared...

  14. Do programs give "conditional" acceptances?

    SurroDoula replied to 13905 BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the acceptances are conditional at the school I applied at. Early conditional acceptance is for those completing some of the required courses, and all applicants are conditional based on...

  15. Anatomy Question Help

    SurroDoula replied to 7ofus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about when the membrane is at resting

  16. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SurroDoula replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll take a stab at it, although we haven't referred to anything as axes... -->combines the cephalocaudal and right-left axes Ok, since cephalocaudal is head to toe, we know the plane is up and...

  17. Physiology??

    SurroDoula replied to hopefulUS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school separates it into Anatomy, Physiology I and Physiogy II. Anatomy is a pre- or co-requisite of Physiology I. I'm taking both anatomy and the first physiology class this semester, and will be...

  18. Anatomy and Physiology Homework Help!?!

    SurroDoula replied to Mandy42392's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the above answers are correct, so I'll take a stab at #1... 1. When muscle tissue dies, it is usually replaced with dense irregular connective tissue. How do these tissues differ in structure?...

  19. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SurroDoula replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I'm Tammy, and my classes started this week. My school separates the classes into Anatomy, Physiology I, and Physiology II. I'm currently taking Anatomy and Physiology I, and will be taking...
