  1. I think I've bounced back with A&P

    Lajimolala replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on those scores! I feel that I'm in the opposite situation. I did well on the my first lab exam and lecture exam, but as the material gets more and more intense, I can feel myself overwhelmed...

    Lajimolala replied to chuff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro was such a fun class!! I agree with everyone else to take Micro. I wish I had that option... Chemistry was a prereq for Micro at our

  4. Besides Caffeine, what keeps you energized to study?

    Lajimolala replied to Hanna0225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What works for me is taking a break now and again...of course not taking excess breaks for too long! But I normally study for hours and hours at a time (3 hours or more), so I find that taking a 15...

    Lajimolala replied to curliegirl80RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, you should be very proud of yourself! The advisor for my program says that 94 was their highest, at least in this filing application period. I'm just so glad that it overwith and I can move on....

  6. TEAS test...what's your experience?

    Lajimolala replied to curliegirl80RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Is it better to take microbiology after anatomy and physiology?

    Lajimolala replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. San Diego City College RN program with BA degree?

    Lajimolala replied to mikeynizm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're very welcome! The only way they would make you take prereq's again is if you took them more than a number of years (either 5 or 7 years, I forget). When did you take your prereq's? I'm actually...

  9. TEAS test.. calculator for Math section?

    Lajimolala replied to LaceyRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't use calculators either, but I bought a math software program at Best Buys for like $35 or something like that, and it was a great refresher! It had about 10-13 different math subjects from...

  10. San Diego City College RN program with BA degree?

    Lajimolala replied to mikeynizm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just because you have BA, that doesn't disqualify you from going into City College's RN program. You won't be eligible for grants, but they won't deny you admission. I am assuming that you have...

  12. How hard is Chemistry if you are not good in math?

    Lajimolala replied to scootersuz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The math needed for Chemistry is not going to make or break you. Just brush up on Pre-Algebra and Algebra, and you're definitely good to go. When I took General Chemistry, I had not had any math...

  13. How many hours do Nurse Techs and Externs work a week?

    Lajimolala posted a topic in General Students

    I'm sure the answer will vary, but it would be great to get a feel for what hours they expect you to work, how many hours, etc. I know they would HAVE to know that you're a student, so I was...

  14. Has anyone gone through school WITHOUT loans?

    Lajimolala replied to Raas4555's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lajimolala replied to nneokill175's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a GREAT topic thread! For the sciences, it's so true that you have to put in a LOT of hours of study time. Where I am from, Anatomy and Physiology are two different classes. But for Physiology...

    Lajimolala replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
