    smellyacres replied to Roberta88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    smellyacres replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in General Students

    smellyacres replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. dissecting cats

    smellyacres replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    if you can't handle a cat how are you gonna handle a cadaver? A lot of schools use cadavers. Most people say they don't really look real. If you wanna be a nurse you gotta deal with some tough...

  11. How does nutrition compare . . . .

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

    1 or 2. This might have just been my teacher. I was in a short 10 week class for nutrition last semester, and pulled an easy A. However my class had some extra credit options involved. Just study...

  12. advice on trying to get into nursing with a low gpa

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

    Don't look at it as trying to boost you GPA up from 2.2 to 2.8 to so on. Think of it as starting new, as most schools only really make decisions based on the prerequisite courses. If it isn't a...

  13. Got my letter last night.

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

    I don't mean to put a damper on the mood or anything, but you should check to see if it says what number alternate you are listed as. My school's nursing program (JC program, not the one I plan on...

  15. long beach city college

    smellyacres replied to BlueKush86's topic in California Nursing

    Okay, this is my advice if you have the time and are willing to make the commitment. If you volunteer at a hospital, they will to a titer for varicella and do a TB test and all that good stuff. It is...

  16. How different is Biology from the other nursing prereqs?

    smellyacres posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The reason I ask, even though Bio is not a prereq for nursing, it is for anat, physio, micro, and I SUCK at biology. My entire life, from middle school, to high school, to college, biology has just...

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

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

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

  23. A&P class problems - need opinion

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

  24. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    smellyacres replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think nursing students in nursing school are more attentive than the slackers who are just taking these courses to fill GE requriements. And those of them who are pre-nursing, will (hopefully) never...
