  1. BIO 202 professor recommendations - HELP

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to kss0740's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yikes.... that is a huge class. And taught by a TA to boot. And I hear that ASU is raising their tuition rates **again**. No thanks..... I'll stick with the community college route. At least to become...

  2. BIO 202 professor recommendations - HELP

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to kss0740's topic in Arizona Nursing

    She's probably good no doubt - just one question though, how big are A&P classes at ASU? No desire myself to go there, just

  3. Freaking out about BIO201...Please Help!

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to CDMZG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My advice would be to take some biology first or at least concurrently in addition to BIO 201. I took BIO 201 & 202, passed both with a B grade, but I took BIO 181 before that. I started back to...

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    I quit reading and replying to this thread a while back. This will be my last comment on this particular subject. I can appreciate that people want to vent, and there are probably a ton of horror...

  6. For all pre-nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry it took me so long to reply - I don't check these every day.... My wife happens to be from Malaysia - a great little country, lots of cultural diversity (sort of a mix of Malay, Chinese, and...

  7. Wearing scrubs to nursing school?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to jpearl119's topic in General Students

    I am just about finished with the pre-nursing program where I go to school (Phoenix College, Phoenix AZ) and waiting for placement now. Yes, here at PC (and all the other county community colleges...

  9. For all pre-nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Want to take my wife (who's from overseas) for a drive through Spearfish Canyon someday - yes, it is beautiful. Went to college for a year at Black Hills State in Spearfish right out of high school....

  10. For all pre-nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will second that. I've finished all my pre-reqs, and taking the few co-reqs I've got left. Put in my app and am on the waiting list to be placed. I'm pretty much assured of a spot - just a matter of...

  11. For all pre-nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My dad and three brothers live in Hot Springs, SD in the Black Hills and I occasionally go back "home" to visit them, and yes I agree, it's beautiful there. Rapid City is the largest "big city" in the...

  12. For all pre-nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I mentioned nurse to patient ratio and nurse demand in reference to how much they'll get paid and in hiring actually..... Nobody wants an unmanagable workload, but in those parts of the country where...

  13. For all pre-nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks :-) I really want to be a nurse. "There will always be a job for you" - That's never true, no matter what you go into. I don't think that deep down anyone really believes that. Your prospects...

  14. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    Let me just tell everyone something here. All I expect is to be treated fairly, just as anyone else in a particular class is treated. Up to this time, that has actually not been my experience. In many...

  15. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    Like I replied to him earlier, those type of students tend to weed themselves out without "added help" [go back and reread some of the stories]. Nobody's going to pass them along (or shouldn't) if...

  16. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    Vito - Thanks for your reply, and yes, I actually agree with a lot of what you've said. While I still don't believe that it's an instructor's job to "weed people out" (I don't like that term anyway),...

  17. Microbiology study group spring 2009

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually ended up getting a 93 percent on Exam #1. Studying now for exam #2 which I believe will be on March 12. Got a 25 of 25 on a paper that we had to submit on the day of the exam. I have three...

  18. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    I knew someone else on here had mentioned journaling and also documenting every little thing ? These subject threads get so long that sometimes you have to go back and re-read them. I'd actually been...

  19. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    Yes, there is that angle of it, and maybe some are the way they are because of this, but it's still not fair to the students who are really trying, and are not in any way shape or form "messing up"....

  20. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    These are really some horrible stories that I've been reading on here...... All I can say is "document, document, document" and record everything in one way or another, including what people say to...

  22. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I agree with you here..... I think it is OK to pray with your patient as long as the patient asks for it, and if it is done in such a way that it doesn't upset anyone else. I am a Christian, but it is...

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will keep tabs on this thread and try to help anyone out who may need it - sometimes that's the best way to reinforce what you've been taught. I need to brush up on all the different types of...

    Marksgirl: Well, according to the results page that I was given, my reading rate was 297 words per minute. That's what the initial reading sequence before the actual passages and questions was about....
