I am -- just started!

Micro = A Micro Lab = A A&P = A Molecular Cell Bio = A

I'm going to be taking three classes this summer too, but they include patho, so it's going to feel more like 4. We can do it!

I don't think it matters where you take it as long as it is accepted by your nursing program. For example, my nursing school accepts A&P but I have to take plain physiology as well. I took A&P at a community college, BTW, and it was outstan...

All A's in Micro, Micro Lab, A&P & Molecular Cell Bio. WOO-HOO!

Just keep at it -- it will get easier after a while. We all need to think about what it would be like to live in a foreign country where you are learning the language. Do you have a coworker with whom you could meet occasionally (like over lunch) t...

Yes! Fall 2009 is when I start my ABSN! Can't wait!

Hey everyone! Add me to the list too -- I'm back to school at age 44. I'll be entering an accelerated BSN program in Fall '09.

I just took them together and found they dovetaiiled nicely.

While it's true that most schools have a minimum 3.0 GPA, they usually take much higher gradepoint averages because competition is fierce and spots are few. Hopefully your math/science GPA is good? Aceing nursing school might bring you up -- I woul...

I took Chem before Micro, but it didn't really seem necessary imho...

CONGRATULATIONS!

HCA Midwest will pay for my entire accelerated BSN at Research College of Nursing + 15 hours of prereqs at Rockhurst University if I sign on to work at one of their hospitals for 2 years.

Just want to add -- "be good to yourself." :icon_hug:

OMG, that is a full plate; and I'm so sorry about your Father in law. I can totally understand how devastating the D is. How many tests do you have over the semester? JMHO, but I tend to think this isn't the time for Chemistry for you. You have ...

Accelerated BSN program would definitely be the way to go. I'm beginning one in the Fall. Since your BA is over 10 years old, you will have to retake any prereqs first. Your local community college can help you there. Good luck!

Just added another class so now it's: Physiology Biochemistry Dev. Psych Nutrition Development of Christianity = 18 credit hours. Ah well at least I'll prepared for the Accelerated BSN!

Found these great study tips online and had to share! Dr. Rodell's Tips Taking Science Courses By Dr. Charles Rodell GET ORGANIZED -- Organize your week. Allow specific times for studying each of the courses you are taking. Study periods should not...

You know, I thought I had the same problem and had the same fears as you with Bio, but this time around it's going great. Sit in the front row, ask questions, go to every class and MAKE yourself be interested. To me General Bio is nothing like A&a...

I went to Hopkins for my Master's in Music. It's an awesome school! Good luck everyone!

For me, I don't want to go through the expense of med school when a CRNA performs a very similar job. I also feel it's a bit less stressful since you are working one case at a time rather than overseeing several rooms of anaesthesia. Also, I feel th...

Congrats; that is a great accomplishment. I think you're doing the right thing, for what it's worth!

Micro & A&P together are no problem. I am currently taking them both along with Molecular Cell Bio and getting good A's in all. I agree that Chem requires a lot of study -- I took it over the summer along with Psychology and felt the pain,...

Well said.

Hi nursemike, I'm not a nurse yet, but I'm from a medical family (Dad- orthopaedic surgeon/ Mom- nurse) so I also have a lot of respect for doctors AND nurses. It's an interesting question that you pose, and I hope to read some good answers on it. ...
