  1. Course Load

    I took A&P II and Micro in the same semester and got As in both. If you don't work full time and have no children, you should have plenty of time to devote to studying. I don't see why it would be...
  2. 39 year old Graphic Designer

    I have taken the majority of my classes online, including sciences (labs were on campus though), and it has worked well for me. I have about 60 credit hours, and I've made straight As. If you have...
  3. Is it hard getting into Greenville Tech?

    Yes, this is exactly what I did. I needed A&P II and Micro, so I just applied to the LPN program instead and got in for Spring '09. I am finishing up those 2 classes this semester (along with some...
  4. Is it hard getting into Greenville Tech?

    This admissions cycle, the points for students accepted into the ADN program were 47+ and 33+ for the LPN. From what I understand, there are far more applicants for the spring start program, so it's...
  5. is the Nervous System for A&P1 really that hard to learn?

    I didn't find it challenging as far the as the anatomy part goes, but the physiology part was a bit more complex than the bones and muscles. Still, I thought the nervous system was the most...
  6. How much time do you spend studying for anatomy per day?

    I did it earlier this year. I had a CNA class Monday - Friday from 9-3 and then my normal classes (including A&P, probability & statistics, psychology, and music appreciation) from 5-8 or 9...
  7. Only PRE-Nursing for two more month....yay...

    Congratulations! I also received my acceptance letter today. I start my nursing courses in
  8. A&P class problems - need opinion

    I am probably in the minority, but I honestly prefer short answer and fill in the blank over multiple choice. I tend to confuse myself with multiple choice questions because I start overanalyzing all...
  9. spring schedule advice please??

    I don't think it's necessary to take a medical terminology class before you take anatomy. I took medical terminology *after* I took A&P, and while my knowledge of anatomy helped a lot, most of the...
  10. tired of waiting on acceptance letter!!!

    I'm still waiting too. The deadline was September 15, and letters are supposed to be mailed out 2-4 weeks from the deadline. Mine should come any day
  11. Which US schools have less competition for entry?

    What about South Carolina? I go to Greenville Technical College (http://www.gvltec.edu) in upstate SC. GTC has a great nursing program and does not use a waiting list. Nursing classes start in spring,...
  12. How time consuming is a community college CNA course

    I took a CNA course earlier this year in addition to 4 other classes. It involved minimal studying/homework outside of class. I ended up with a 100 average. It was definitely far less demanding than...
  13. Anybody else feel pre-reqs are easy?

    I feel the same way. I have not struggled with any of my prereqs (or any college class for that matter). It is not uncommon for me to wait until the day of the test to even start studying, yet I still...
  14. Rate My Professor

    I use it. I look up ratings for my professors before signing up for their classes, and I also rate each instructor at the end of every term. Like others have said, though, I won't let a few bad...
  15. What has been the hardest prereq for you?

    It depends on your school. We are given a separate grade for lab and lecture at my school, but they are combined for an overall final grade in the class. The nursing program accepts the combined grade...
  16. What pre-req classes did you start out with and how many?

    I took 3 classes my first semester - Biological Sciences I, Beginning Algebra, and Introduction to Computers. I also had an 8-5 Monday through Friday job. I took algebra and the computer course...
  17. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    where are you applying? the local community college. what is your gpa and/or points for your school of choice? 4.0 gpa for prerequisites - 42 points (out of possible 46 - would already need a...
  18. Should I retake Eng 102?

    See, things like that are why I prefer online classes. Sometimes, things happen. People get sick, have family emergencies, have to stay late for work, etc. If you made As on all your coursework, I...
  19. A & P 1- online or classroom?

    I took A&P I online and made an A. However, I did take Basic A&P prior to that in a traditional classroom setting, so I'm sure that helped tremendously. Like others have said, it really...
