I would call SMC and ask them what they suggest. Tell them that SMC is your first choice but do they advise that you get a head start at LACC and then transfere to SMC's nursing. I'm assuming your grades during that time would have to be decent , but...

Hi O.K. so I ordered the TEAS study guide and got it last month and have been reviewing it occationally until it's time for me to take the test. HOWEVER, the nursing department said they just changed the entrance exam from the TEAS to the "NLN entra...

We were not allowed to record lectures for our prerequisites, however some professors were ok with it. In the nursing program, I was told that we could record but need to sign a disclaimer not to re-post or give copies of the lecture to anyone and th...

I too applied to LA County for Fall but my first choice was SMC because it a lot closer to me. I heard that LA County was good, but since I am in at SMC for this Fall, I will decline County "IF" I even get accepted that is. I haven't heard anything b...

Hi I applied in March last year. so one semester before you did. I did get in this Fall, so I waited the usual 3 semesters that I was told by the counselor when I put in my application. It worked out best for me since I wanted to finish as many G.E. ...

I just took the NLN exam last week. Thank god I passed!. The one thing I can tell you is practice time management especially on the Math part. They are pretty much easy questions but you have to be able to know how to calculate them instantly. If you...

Hi I'm on the waitlist. I applied in March 2009 and was told I would start (if I pass the NLN in April 2010) in Fall 2010, which would be a 3 semester wait list (Spring, Fall, Spring). However I just got an e-mail Friday to take the exam in November ...

I ordered it on-line. It's called Interactive Physiology 9 system suite or Anatomy, by Pearson/Benjamin Cummings. It includes Cardiovascular, Muscular, Nervous, Respiratory, urinary, Endocrine and Digestive systems along with Fluids, Electrolytes a...

I got an "Interactive" DVD for my Anatomy and Physiology class. It helpd me understand the processes because it showed me how they worked, broke it all down as opposed to just reading about it and I had to participate ( the interactive part). By unde...

Hi Has anyone taken the NLN recently. Is it harder than the TEAS? been studying for TEAS and just found out school switched entrance exams without letting anyone know Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks

good luck:)

oh also check your local community college

go to this site ( http://www.azdhs.gov/phs/ ) and call them and ask them where you can get the list of their approved phlebotomy training schools. i looked and couldn't find it either. maybe arizona has it on a different site than california.

Hi In California there is a list of state approved Phlebotomy schools. You have to make sure they are state approved for you can get your state certification. You should check the list for Arizona or call the Department of Health Services in Arizona...

Hi JumpingIn How does it feel to do your first blood draw? Were you confident from the get go or were you nervous.

I took Professor Hill. It was a Saturday class from 9 - 3:30 with a 45 minute lunch break. I wouldn't recommed that particular class because it's too much all in one day, then you didn't have any communication with the professor for a whole week. So ...

"i am a nice person, quiet, humble and I do not bother ANYBODY" Some people may take you being quiet as you not wanting to be there or that you are too good to speak them. Trust me I've been there. I used to be very quiet and people assumed the worst...

Hi I currently at SMC but have already taken Anatomy last year. I just applied to the program March 2nd and am on the waiting list. it's about a year.

Four main functions are carried out on a bacterial plasma membrane: 1) transport, 2) biosynthesis, 3) signaling and 4) the production and use of energy. I don't have my notes with me but this is what I read and I will double check later.

I agree with the other poster. Recorder, recorder, recorder. Can't say enough about it. I can focus more on what the professor is saying than trying to write down everything and maybe miss something becuase his lectures are so fast. In addition since...

We haven't done our own slides but yesterday we did do some cultures. I too am working with E.Coli and Staph to name a few but I put on disposbale gloves. I also got to swab $1 bill that I had in my wallet. Will get to review the results on Teusday. ...

I agree. Keep your current job and volunteer for atleast 6 mos. in the Health Care industry (if you can handle staying at your job that long). I applied to volunteer at a hospital near by and since I was studying in the Nursing field, they put me in ...

I prefer to write my own-the more I personally write things down the more I remember. Our professor already posted his Micro syllabus and on there it has our textbook website which already have online flash cards. I will probably review those too in ...

I'm definatley in!!!! I need all the help I can get and will gladly give any that I can. I just finished Physiology in Spring-took the summer off-and start Micro on Aug 25th. I'm excited, nervous, stressed and ready to get started. I've heard so many...

O.K. so I'm taking Micro Next Month in August. An suggestions from those that already took it as to the best way to study/prepare in advance. Maybe any websites, Interactive C.D's or other helpful media. I got an Interactive Physiology CD in Spring a...
