  1. Medical Assistant Prog before nursing

    Holy thread resurrection batman! hehe This thread looks to be 2 years old. Sorry to hear about your experience though. Hope nursing school works better for
  2. Here is a crazy question

    I use one of those sling bags I think they are called. It goes over the head and rests on the hip. It is big enough to fit a couple books and a binder, plus a side pocket for calculator, phone,
  3. Should I retake Eng 102?

    I agree, it's silly to have a strict attendance policy for an english class. Afterall, you could easily take it online and not have to "show up" at all. hehe Turning in writing assignments and...
  4. Chemistry Fall 2008

    It's been over 20 years since I did high school chem and I'm not even sure if I pulled a b in it. However, I'm taking chem right now and while I frequently get confused, studying and doing lots of...
  5. I would only go to office hours if I needed assistance with the course in some way. I have no desire to work on a personal relationship with them. With the nursing courses, I suspect I will want to...
  6. How long did it take to finish pre-req full time??

    My nursing program has 9 prereq courses. One I had waved because I already have a BA. All my sciences and math have to be taken over (it's been more than 5 years), and my psych's because I took...
  7. My chem lab partner is taking chem with a&p II this summer. With summer being so condensed it's a bit more intense, so probably as much studing and classtime as 3 courses. She says it's alot of...
  8. If you have an old edition of the text then perhaps you could study for the next exam from
  9. studying nursing over seas??

    You could check the region boards. It depends alot on which country your are looking at. I don't want to give opinions, since I have no personal experience, but there's a direction to steer you...
  10. A & P 1- online or classroom?

    You may not care about my opinion since I havn't yet taken a&p, but here's my anyway. Lab classes can be (not for everyone of course) difficult to understand and having a "live person" there to...
  11. algebra problem

    What she said. Just wanted to add that those are exactly the type of problems that I was doing for my telecourse
  12. What kind of jobs can you get while taking nursing?

    I don't know this from personal experience, but in the information packet that the nursing department sends out to perspective students, it says that you can take the cna test after the first quarter,...
  13. I no longer live in N. CA, but from reading this board that seems to be the case. From the, probably 50 posts I've read about this, 2 years is a good average, but cc's are the worst. Getting into a...
  14. What kind of jobs can you get while taking nursing?

    This is probably not that helpful, but your school probably has an employment center that could give you some
  15. Wait list vs. no wait list

    Unrelated, but I continue to feel glad that I live where I do. We have 3 schools in my area that do nursing programs and only around 500000 people that live in this area. My cc is entirely wait list...
  16. I Got the Minimester A&P II Blues

    Is it possible to schedule an appt during office hours to meet with the professor? Maybe away from the classroom they will be more "down to earth" and willing to give you a few ideas of how to...
  17. Sex and Nursing School

    Just wanted to add that as nurses, "personal discussions" are something you'll be having with patients (just not about yourself). Being able to discuss them is important and you can't shy away from...
  18. I Got the Minimester A&P II Blues

    I have no idea why you think I was being rude to you. The thing I was trying to say was that if he is dragging everyone's points down, at least it doesn't mean that you are the only one who has less...
  19. I Got the Minimester A&P II Blues

    err...at least all the other prenursing students in your class are getting lower grades as
  20. Chemistry Fall 2008

    The book I've been using along with the class chem book this summer is CliffsStudySolver Chemistry. It's a big thick workbook with lots of questions to work on to really "get the stuff down". I've...
  21. No more LPNs?

    Just agreeing with what's been stated. LPN's are being phased out in hospitals, but as the demand for ltc goes up and up, they will be needed there for a long time
  22. Can I really do this?!

    Taking a few classes a time rather than a full load isn't so bad. That's actually really common now with so many people working full time while in school. As far as wasting money, that probably...
  23. physical test before nursing class

    Can you get these done at your regular dr.'s office? Most insurance pays for a yearly physical, so if you havn't had yours it should be
  24. Taking online classes, one at a time, might work for you, but it's probably better to get some assistance in finding a job (some welfare programs offer job assistance). You're only 21, the average...
  25. anyone done with pre-reqs?

    I had hoped to take co-reqs (i'm a long ways from being done with prereqs) while I waited, but the program no longer does that. Everything is lumped together listings such as Nursing I. When I...
