1. Which Prereq is Harder: A&P or Microbiology or Chem?

   SoCaliGirl replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing

   For those who hated Chem...did you find it necessary to have before taking Physiology? It's not required at my school but they say you won't do well in Physio without it. I'd rather not take it if it won't affect anything.

2. Feel like crying...need encouragement

   SoCaliGirl replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have to agree with you. Sorry this one is over. You'll have to find a new somewhere else. :chuckle

3. Feel like crying...need encouragement

   SoCaliGirl replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Way to make assumptions about a situation you know NOTHING about. For the record, I am the one that is moving to help a family member in crisis and he cares so much about my sister that he insisted on coming along to give financial support and assis...

   SoCaliGirl replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks everyone I'm feeling better. I found an online English and psych class so I am starting to think it will be ok.

5. Feel like crying...need encouragement

   SoCaliGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had to withdraw from my classes this semester. My bf and I are moving and it will be too far for me to commute to school AND work. Which means I am putting off the science prereq's for another semester. I know that a semester isn't very long fo...

6. Any advice on how to group classes each semester and GPA question!!

   SoCaliGirl replied to bcjones's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's what I'm talking about! What if I do ALL this hard work over the next year and then I don't get in because I get one B or something? Around here, it's all gpa and points based, meaning if you don't have all A's and the max points...you don't...

7. list of CA direct entry MSN and accelerated BSN programs

   SoCaliGirl replied to Myethpio's topic in California

   That list is from 2005. Stuff has changed since then. For example, CSU Long Beach no longer has an Accelerated BSN program.

8. Any advice on how to group classes each semester and GPA question!!

   SoCaliGirl replied to bcjones's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Be careful because a lot of schools in California don't let you retake classes. They will go by the first grade you received. I've found that attending info sessions at the specific programs is helpful and you can take a list of questions and get the...

9. In what order do you recommend taking these Pre-Requisites/General Ed Requirements?

   SoCaliGirl replied to LCGrace's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I recommend sort of the same thing. Chem and Anatomy together one semester and Physio and Micro the next. That's what I will be doing. I don't know why, but I don't like the idea of doing a science and lab in summer. It seems too rushed to me.

10. Do you think this was rude?

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

    I think that's what makes me (I'm sorry) laugh a little bit here. I WISH that the "rude" people I dealt with every day were like that secretary. That would be a dream compared to the general public I interact with for 40 hours a week. And, keep in...

11. Anatomy and Chem this Fall...who else?

    SoCaliGirl replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Is math key to doing well in Chem? As in, if I'm not a very strong science student but am GREAT at math, is an A feasible?

12. Anatomy and Chem this Fall...who else?

    SoCaliGirl replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Good news! I was able to add the Anatomy class!!! So I am back to my original plan of having Anatomy and Chem this fall. I can't wait to start. Hopefully we can be a support for each other in the coming months.

13. How is the teamwork going in your lab?

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

    Oh yeah it's totally obvious during presentations who did their part and who didn't.

14. How is the teamwork going in your lab?

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

    Ditto...except for 99% of all group work I've ever had, it's with the people who are so excited to have a C. I end up taking over so I can get an A. No one ever has a problem, and if they want to go on and get more C's on their tests while I mainta...

15. Do you think this was rude?

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

    I still don't get how she was being rude by saying that you need to go get a stamp. Did she say it in a rude way? Did she yell at you? Did she roll her eyes?
