  1. Anxiety and the start of school

    Thanks! I just realized, thanks to you, that I put this in the wrong section! If someone could move it, that would be
  2. Micro and A&P 2 together?

    I did it, and worked 50 hours/week. Not easy, but certainly possible to earn good grades if you apply yourself and have great time management
  3. Shoes for Men in Nursing

    Which ones, if you don't mind me asking? Can you post a link? I am starting school in August, and will need all white (or nearly all white, white minimal markings) shoes.
  4. A&P Textbook

    We used Tortura for AP I and
  5. Good idea to take micro and anatomy together?

    I am finishing up taking both APII and Micro this semester, and working full time about 50 hours/week. It was no cake walk, I can tell you that. If you are very good with your time, it can be done....
  6. Microbiology: Spring 2010

    I have my final Tuesday. Going in with a 91. I hope to keep at least a B+. I think the average for the final exam (23% of the grade) is about a 60-65%. This class has been a challenge, but I am not...
  7. Hospital based nursing programs

    I am starting at a hospital based program in August. Abington Memorial Hospital's Dixon School of Nursing in
  8. As long as my little girls (5 and nearly 7) are happy, ethical/moral in whatever they choose to do, and are able to provide for themselves, I will be content. Most of all, I want my kids to be happy...
  9. Any other day folks here? See you all
  10. Losing my superpowers

    I am taking A&PII and Micro as well. Tough to do both! We'll all get through it, just keep on
  11. Late career choice @ 35

    I am 35 and will start nursing school this August. I began my "new" career path in January of 2009. In my opinion, it is never too late to make a change in your life/career. The only limitation is...
  12. Nursing school Vs. Nursing Prereqs

    I am hoping I am up to the task of being successful. I start nursing school in August, but have been taking 8 credits for the last 2 terms. Right now I have A&P II and Micro (class 4 nights a...
  13. Those figures were based on my memory of what was put forth in an information session at Dixon. I cannot say if those numbers are accurate....but there will most certainly be those that will not be...
  14. I would suggest you contact the school to see what they recommend. Congrats on being
  15. Microbiology: Spring 2010

    I must say, I am not enjoying this class. Just memorize it, spit it back out, then forget. We have exams every week, and I find there is not enough time to really LEARN the information. I do not...
  16. I don't start nursing school until August, but here's one from my A&P II class. Put the stupid little "netbook" away, stop surfing facebook, etc (in the front row!), and pay attention to the...
  17. If they take the higher of the two scores, why not re-take it? If the second score stands regardless of whether it is higher or lower, then I'd leave it alone....87.6% is a good score! Worst case,...
  18. A&P1 & micro in 7 weeks? is it realistic

    To your title: In a word, no. I would suggest only taking one (if any) in depth science courses over a short period of time. You'll want to remember what you learned
  19. Don't give up on Abington just yet. If I recall correctly, about 40-50 of the waitlisted people last year were then accepted due to other people either not completing pre-reqs, or accepting offers at...
  20. Got an A the first time, thankfully. Micro and APII right
  21. Have you ever cheated?

    I do not tolerate cheating in any way shape or form. I work too hard to be tolerant or understanding. If I feel someone else is cheating, they will hear about it. If you can't do the work yourself,...
  22. Congrats!! Anyone else in the day
  23. Got mine also!!! Day program!!!
  24. Waiting patiently as
