I am accepted into the graduate entry DNP at Case for the fall 2009. I am thinking of specializing in oncology, although still open to see once I start. Sugarcube - look forward to meeting you! I am an international student from the UK, although live...

Peer reviewed research could be something like Science or Nature journals (or any journal to do with research on the topic) - you can probably find this on the internet, then just claim you found it in the journal!! I have no idea why they would say ...

Here is my 2 cents, completely off the top of my head, so take it for what it is worth!: 1. Carrier molecule 2. enzymes 3. oxidizer 4. oxidation/reduction reactions or reversible reactions Hope that helps

I am taking: A&P II with lab Lifespan Development Statistics Fitness and walking (had to have 12 credits!) Should be ok, less than last semester, only in college Monday and Wednesday (9am to 8pm, but big break where I can work for online courses)...

A&P 1 - A Microbiology - A Intro to psychology - A Principles of sociology - A Very happy, and in micro I managed to be the only one of 72 remaining who actually managed an A before the curve!!!! Now muct keep fingers crossed for the next semeste...

wooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooo made an A in micro!!!!! Despite asthma attack, got 90.6% overall, then as I was the only student to get an A (out of 72!) he adjusted and I wound up with 93.6%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also managed to get into urgent care ye...

OK I am freaking out!!! Have my final tomorrow night - got psych, sociology, A&P I out of the way - got 100% in all! But, with micro final tomorrow, low and behold, my body decides last night to give me a major asthma attack, so today I am exhaus...

Hi All, Just wondered if anyone has any advice, I am going to be doign a 4 credit Stats course next semester, and am considering online - good or bad do you think? I will be taking A&PII and Lifespan Development concurrently, and am thinking abou...

Thank you for all the advice, and based on my own concerns also, I think I will do a classroom stats course! Been figuring out my timetable today and it should work out. I will be doing A&P2 Monday and Wednesday 9-12, then Stats is 6-7.50 the sam...

Hey all, I am actually in a weird position - have been accepted for CWRU's grad entry DNP, but still have pre-reqs and a few other bits and bobs to get out of the way (I applied a year early because that way I could sort out all my visa requirements ...

If you are confused on DNA and protein sysnthesis, try a good search - there are loads of websites with animations, lots of information is out there, explained from the most simple to more complex. Regarding your questions: In DNA - triplet (three n...

Hi all, I have been revising for the GRE and have a question. Case wants 500 and 500 for the verbal and Quantitative respectively. I took a practice test before I started revising and got 520 verbal and 530 quantitative. Now having practiced both sec...

I concur, I get distracted so I make copious notes, even if I know the topic inside out! If nothing else, it helps me to know EXACTLY what was covered in class!

The teacher in our micro class got his own back today on several who are late consistently, he gave us a quiz at 9am sharp, it finished 10 minutes later, and he would not let anyone who wandered in with their coffee's later do the test!! I am guessin...

Congrats on the awesome score!!! We have just started the bones (seems my teacher does everything in a different order!) - do you have any suggestions?

Looks just like my last exam too - I concur with the PP that flashcards are the way to go. Also learning the roots of the names (e.g. cocci - round, bacillus - rod, strepto - grape like cluster) is useful as it refers to a lot of the names. Flashcard...

Well, for the CNS it was really a case of name the parts. I went over lots of diagrams with the names blanked out. For the PNS I think it was really important to have the fundamentals then build off of it. In the test there were lots of questions rel...

Phew, test two on the nervous system done, got 30/30 in the lab test and 104% in the lecture test!!!!!!!! Gonna be so glad when this is over!

OK, I am officially scared - have our lab and lecture test on Monday, lab on nervous system and lecture on PNS. I don't know how I am going to remember all the dermatomes, the innervation of the limbs, all the tracts, the reflexes - literally everyti...

Thanks for the support!! I studied pretty hard for the test. I am taking A&PI, microbiology, intro to psychology and principles of sociology, but I don't work (I cannot on my visa), so get time to study, although I do have a two year old!

Well, we finally got the results back from our first test (on 9 chapters!!!) I somehow managed 96% :yeah: I got top of the class with that score, and am now ready to jump up and down in celebration, but with an A&PI test on Monday, should go stud...

OK, can someone just shoot me now??? We have our first test tomorrow - on 9 chapters!!! Arggggghhhhh, he says to expect questions on material from the book, the labs and lectures - so much!!!! I feel like everytime I figure out one thing another part...

Bacteria divide and multiply by binary fission - where one cell splits into two. Conjugation is the process by which one bacteria passes a plasmid to another by formation of a pilus, usually the plasmid confers something like drug resistance. Hope th...

I agree to a point, however for me I would not be able to get into community college without waiting several years, and that would result in losing my visa status and my child being separated from either his father or mother. I have tried cheaper sch...

Welcome and good luck in your journey, sure it will be fun and these boards are a great resource!
