    itsinthegenes replied to renee_cal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    itsinthegenes replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

    itsinthegenes replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well right now we are on the nervous system, particularly the CNS and it is driving me nuts! I am not a very visual learner, so expected this to be hard. If anyone has any tips regarding learning the...

  7. Anybody else feel pre-reqs are easy?

    itsinthegenes replied to f1ourish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too am finding the pre-reqs easy. I too have a degree, in genetics, and a masters in genetics. I just look at this stage as a means to an end, I study for all the topics and figure if nothing else I...

  9. Tissue advice needed.

    itsinthegenes replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Microbiology - Fall 2008

    itsinthegenes replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. GRE Study guide/tips

    itsinthegenes replied to coolvibesRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I took the GRE a couple of months ago. I found getting a list of the most commonly seen words and making flash cards and studying them with my partner helped a lot with vocab. For the math I got a few...

    itsinthegenes replied to msdizzydolores's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
