  1. Should I just give up hope?

    Diver Dude replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some good advice here. I agree about the no excuses thing. I see it in my classes how students explain away their drama... teachers aren't interested. They take note of the students that don't show up...

  2. Should I just give up hope?

    Diver Dude replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would never give up. I, too was a poor student, and now I'm above a 3.5 GPA eligible for honors. I had to say good bye to priorities that interfered with school. I have not missed a single class...

  3. Mnemonic for cranial nerves

    Diver Dude replied to KR's topic in General Students

    My instructor in Anatomy did it differently Oh (olfactory,I) oh (optic, II) oh (oculormotor,III) to (trochlear, IV) touch (trigeminal, V) and (abducens, VI) feel (facial, VII) very...

  4. Anatomy and Cadavers

    Diver Dude posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did you do? Mostly I hear that it is not as bad as one may think. I'm sure there is an adjustment period. Dissecting is usually the dreaded part of biology/anatomy, but often I hear otherwise....

  5. Drug testing?

    Diver Dude replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been wee wee tested for my recent jobs, and am all good with it. I think it is fine to "weed" out applicants for jobs or the nursing program, but random testing is a little bit invasive. Back...

  6. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    Diver Dude replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a 42 year old single working dad... I'm loving college as an adult, other than being broke! I think you get more out of school at this age... although it's inspiring to study with young people...

  7. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    Diver Dude replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you gang! There is some great advice here. I did get into the class via lottery on the second day. We jumped right into cell gene function and epithelial tissues. I can tell that it's gonna...

  8. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    Diver Dude replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. I can do it!!! If I think "A" all the way, then I can only let myself down with a "B" Not a bad safety net.

  9. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    Diver Dude replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stanley- I totally get what you are saying... I worked my fanny off in Chem to get the "B" and by the end of the class I was very close to an "A" after starting out in "C" territory. Organic chem...

  10. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    Diver Dude replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great advice Colleen and Rhody Girl! Attendance is never an issue with me. Part of my good gpa is 100% attendance in all classes. Maybe it's an age thing but I don't miss class or labs. I like...
