  1. did u..Move to another state for nursing school....? If so...

    Aurora77 replied to cascottiegirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were single, I'd definitely consider moving. I did my first undergrad degree about 4 hours from where I grew up. I'm married now and both of our families are within an hour drive, so there's no...

  2. A&P Combined

    Aurora77 replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my first A&P class that way. It was a 6 credit hour class. It was intense and moved very quickly. My professor was great, so she made it fun. It was tough and I had to work hard, but I...

  3. Does anyone have a Bachelors and still pursuing LPN??

    Aurora77 replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Me too! I eventually want to get my BSN, but it would've required a whole year of going to school almost full time just to get the pre-reqs in for the accelerated program. My BA in history is great,...

  4. Community college courses easier than University?

    Aurora77 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. Our school is definitely just as challenging as the university I got my first bachelor's degree from. I've taken Chem and A&P from my community college and I don't know that I ever...

  5. Is My Class Schedule Normal??

    Aurora77 replied to VaStudentNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school requires just one pre-req prior to entrance to the LPN program--A&P. They have time built into the first semester to take English Comp, Psych, and Nutrition; those HAVE to be completed...

  6. Mnemonic for cranial nerves

    Aurora77 replied to KR's topic in General Students

    My A&P prof is a vet, her suggestion was Oh Oh Oh To Try And Fail Very Good Vets Acutally

  7. A&P Hormones

    Aurora77 replied to tarheelchick3113's topic in General Students

    Index cards are great; I've had success with them. This may sound silly, but I also will read things over and over again outloud. We just took our test over the endocrine system, blood, and the...

  8. Advice on pre-requisites

    Aurora77 replied to ms brown's topic in General Students

    I plan on taking both of those next fall, in addition to my first semester nursing classes (fingers crossed that I get in--my interview's next week). I plan on not working or only working very part...

  9. Fall Schedule

    Aurora77 replied to lktfry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking College Algebra and Nutrition this summer. If I get into NS, I'll be taking 3 nursing courses, A&P II, and Microbiology this

  10. For you A&P students!

    Aurora77 replied to checkmarks0725's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far, I love it all. I am fascinated by the body and am awe of its complexity. That doesn't mean that sometimes I'm not left wondering how on earth I'm going to remember everything, but it's all...

  11. Micro...chem101...and A&P II.......am I crazy?!?

    Aurora77 replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on what else you've got going on outside of school. I'd go for it, but that's just me. Providing I get into NS school, I'll be doing 9 hours of nursing credits plus A&P II and Micro next...

  12. Anyone else ready to tell their present job to kick rocks?

    Aurora77 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I like my job but I can't wait to be a full time student again. I know every place has its ups and downs, but I am so tired of all the little things that make my job...

  13. What are you gonna do while waiting to get it?

    Aurora77 replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking pre-reqs now; I'm applying for this fall. I'm not telling anyone at my current job until I have my acceptance letter in hand. If I don't get in, I'll continue in my current position, and...

  14. Regarding algebra,bio,chem-help please

    Aurora77 replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CC required placement testing; they do this because they have an open enrollment policy (everyone who applies gets in) and they want to make sure students are ready for the classes they take....

  15. A and P question

    Aurora77 replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been using an Anatomy coloring book and that's been helpful. The one I've got goes into detail, so finding, labeling, and coloring each bone has helped me tremendously. I have my lab midterm...

  16. Anyone attending OTC in Springfield MO?

    Aurora77 replied to ebrownies123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had several of my pre-reqs (English and Pysch) from my previous degree. I got that 10 years ago and they count towards my new degree. I took Chem as a hybrid class--the classwork was online and we...

  17. Anyone attending OTC in Springfield MO?

    Aurora77 replied to ebrownies123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking my pre-reqs right now and am hoping to start the LPN program this fall. So far my experience at OTC has been really good. I had some concerns (unfortunately, I had been a bit of a snob...

  18. Anatomy - Spring 2009 - What to Study?

    Aurora77 replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for starting this thread, too. I'm taking an A&P course next semester, so I'm trying to get an early start. I bought an anatomy coloring book in the hopes that would help (plus it's...

  19. 33 years old and starting over

    Aurora77 replied to MisaChickaBea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 31, will be 32 when I start NS. My youngest brother and I hope to go through NS together--it's going to be a neat chance to bond (we're 9 years apart in age) and it will be soooo nice to have a...

  20. Online Classes

    Aurora77 replied to kalley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking a hybrid chem class this semester. The course work is online, we meet for the labs once a week. It's the first online class I've taken and it's been way more work than I anticipated....

  21. Anyone go to Ozarks Technical Community College?

    Aurora77 replied to labchic's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know too much. I meet with an advisor in Allied Health next week. An admissions rep at the Cox College of Nursing told me that all three nursing schools in the area are comparable in quality....

    Aurora77 replied to labchic's topic in General Nursing

    I'm taking some pre-reqs right now. I'm hoping to get into the Fall '09

  23. When first applying to schools...any advice?

    Aurora77 replied to CrittleLee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't answer most of your questions since I haven't even applied to NS yet. I'm working on some pre-reqs now. I can recommend that you just call the admissions office at the schools you're...

  24. Online Classes

    Aurora77 replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking chem this semester on line. I've never done an online course before, so I'm not sure what to expect. I have to go to campus once a week for labs, and the school requires one on campus...

  25. How much is everyone paying for books this upcoming semester?

    Aurora77 replied to JoshuaC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking one class this semester--chem. The book is $144.95, the lab book is $39.95. What a racket! I should skip nursing school and go into the college textbook business; I'll be a millionare...
