  1. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I don't need one yet since I'm taking classes online, but I will definitely be picking up a pulse pen for the first day of NS!.... okay, maybe a few days earlier so I can play...they look like great...

  2. Organizing applications

    Sand_Dollar replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd do it in a spreadsheet myself. Each school gets a column and the rows are the pre-reqs, each app requirement, deadlines, etc. I then would either enter the relevant info or make the corresponding...

  3. To the girl who texted all during the math final...

    Sand_Dollar replied to greeniebean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a girl ask me outright for a copy of my AP2 test because she hadn't done it yet. EXCUSE ME?!! I *worked* for my grade and won't cheat to get a better one (I refused to take her up on her offer...

  4. Summer school blues

    Sand_Dollar replied to HumorHeals22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing AP2, Micro and psych. Its definitely more intense, especially AP2, but I'm keeping my grades up and will be done with all my sciences at the end of this semester...then onto Art and Music...

  5. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    Started on June 1st and I just finished my second unit of 5, so almost half way. I have a 95 and its going just fine. I'm taking it along with AP2 and General Psych. So if I can do it, then you all...

  6. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    I find it easier than AP2 (which I'm also taking) and AP1. Its very interesting, but AP is taking up most of my time right

  7. Keeping Yourself Motivated...

    Sand_Dollar replied to Kyla.ann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I keep my eye on the goal and refresh the picture every now and then. I have my entire pre-req schedule all planned out by semester right next to my monitor. I have the classes I've finished in red...

  8. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    I find the class very interesting but I honestly don't care for the labs, I'm not very good remembering that they are in the incubator, lol. I am SO thankful that the units are due every other week,...

  9. A & P 1 online a good idea?

    Sand_Dollar replied to jswitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did AP 1 last semester online through ccconline. We had to buy a lab kit and went through the labs like (I think) a regular class would. It took a lot of time, but well worth it. I got an A in that...

  10. A&P II Summer 09

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

    I have been so busy I haven't even been able to be on allnurses at all. Anyway, this class is kicking my ***! lol. I'm getting Bs on my exams, but getting 100s on my journals and labs. Its the labs...

  11. Do you have any other options?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I don't get into my school of choice at a private school because of loans (grades won't be the reason) I will retake a bunch of old (20+ yrs) classes and apply to the local University. I'm not...

  12. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    I finally had some time to sit down and print out my schedule for Micro. OMGosh!! I get 2 weeks for the first unit, but in a week and a half I have 3 quizzes, 1 exam, a lab quiz and *4* labs due....

  13. A&P II Summer 09

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

    I think your right. I just got the syllabus and it looks like a (relative) snap. I think Micro may be tougher than AP this semester. One day in Micro I have 5 quizzes, 1 exam, 3 labs and an assignment...

  14. Is Anyone Else Starting Mount Royal College's Degree Program in the Fall?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Cdnurstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the U.S. now, but Mount Royal caught my attention - I was born and grew up in Calgary. Anyway... may I suggest picking up APA PERRLA (perrla.com) program. It's an add-on to MS Word. It formats...

  15. LACCD - Summer session 2 CANCELLED

    Sand_Dollar replied to monkeykiss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    vlove - what about taking your micro online? I know there are a bunch of schools that offer it. I am taking it through ccconline this summer, but I live in CO so its instate cost for me. It's just a...

  16. A&P dissections....

    Sand_Dollar replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    API we did a sheep brain and cow eyeball. For APII we get to do a sheep heart, sheep kidney and a fetal pig. We don't do cadavers but I have the Anatomy Revealed CD and it was

  17. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

  18. A&P II Summer 09

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

    4 weeks! Holy Cow! I hope your not taking anything else, intense is an understatement, but you can do it! Good

  19. ~!~ ...SERIOUSLY ...~!~

    Sand_Dollar replied to 2bNurse22*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SoCaliGirl - Don't worry about taking any sciences together. I did AP 1 and Chem last semester together and got As in both. Summer semester I'm taking Micro and AP 2 and expect to do fine. If they are...

  20. What class/classes are you taking this Summer'09

    Sand_Dollar replied to monkeykiss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro, AP2 and General Psych, all in a 10 week session. These are the last of my sciences, should be fun! I didn't mention that I also have to paint the inside of our house and get it ready so we can...

  21. Anatomy and Physiology I online? Ever Done it?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it through ccconline.org (colorado community colleges online). You register at a home college and sign up for your class online which goes through ccconline. Then you order your labkit from...

  22. Microbiology over the Summer - New to Forum

    Sand_Dollar replied to WWE DiVa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. I didn't get it :(

    Sand_Dollar replied to Calinurse4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am really sorry! During your wait, can you take other classes so you can continue on to a BSN if you want

  24. Concorde vs DSON

    Sand_Dollar posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I have narrowed my choices down to either Concorde or DSoN for my RN. I will not need to do pre-reqs (all will be done by the end of summer), does anyone have opinions on which is better and why?...

  25. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I found this thread by looking for others with ADHD, its such a relief to know I'm not alone and there are others out there with experiences they are willing to share. I started my pre-reqs last fall...
