  1. Biology & A&P I

    QuarterLife88 replied to CASM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you good at science? I took Bio 1 over the summer of 2009, but I had had it already in high school. Not as detailed, but I had heard of the general concepts before, I just wanted to re-take it for...

  2. Accepted in LPN at OCC this winter

    QuarterLife88 replied to JaaaeyRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was wondering about health insurance...I recall from the information sessions that each student has to buy some from the school? something

  3. RN Rant Posts are Scaring Me

    QuarterLife88 replied to NurseBanana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Internet is like group therapy - only for free! As humans we tend to dwell on the negative (I just spent the last 24 hrs angsting over a midterm in which I just found out I aced! In restrospect,...

  4. MPT at Oakland Community College

    QuarterLife88 replied to Jessalynn3869's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi wendy! I'll just be glad to get in, but if they offer the accelerated program, I would take it, because I want so badly to start my career. I'm not even sure they'd ask me though. Don't you need a...

  5. To own a pet or not while in nursing school...

    QuarterLife88 replied to kroyce's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nursing student yet, but I've had both dogs and cats, and if you're going to get a pet, get a cat, perhaps two so they can have company. You can leave a cat alone all day with food, water,...

  6. Accepted in LPN at OCC this winter

    QuarterLife88 replied to JaaaeyRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats Anne! I knew you'd make it! You worked so hard. Good luck you guys. You're on your

    Congratulations!:yeah:

  8. MPT at Oakland Community College

    QuarterLife88 replied to Jessalynn3869's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks Anne! Well I just applied for the program. Six long months of wait officially

  9. MPT at Oakland Community College

    QuarterLife88 replied to Jessalynn3869's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well I took the MPT today...passed! What a nerve wracking little

  10. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IA. I spent approx. 2-4 hours (sometimes more) daily on A&P. It's like two classes in one. I have Micro right now and I spend 45 min - 1 hour daily, and get good grades. I find it easier (so far)....

  11. what class kicked your backside?

    QuarterLife88 replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. If you're finding bio and chem to be easy, you're on the right track. I found them easy as well. A&P 1 was an info dump, and I had a horrible teacher and taught myself the whole course, but I...

  12. what class kicked your backside?

    QuarterLife88 replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P 1. Especially the end. Due to her strict schedule, we only had 1 week at the end for THREE exams (two lecture, one lab). If I hadn't read ahead and doubled up on my readings and prepared for...

  13. Micro Fall 2010

    QuarterLife88 replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far so good. 106% on the first exam. I always start off strong because I know I'll get lazy at the end and this gives me a buffer. Of course the first test is usually the easiest (IMO) so we'll...

  14. Microbiology with A&P I OR II?

    QuarterLife88 replied to JennL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do A&P 1 alone, then A&P 2 and Micro. I think you'd be more successful if you got the feel for A&P 1 by itself first, that way the next two won't be such a shock, you will have...

  15. Chemistry Fall 2010

    QuarterLife88 replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone! I had chem last fall and used this website to help me practice extra problems/get a simpler explanation. http://misterguch.brinkster.net/chemfiestanew.html Click on the helpdesk for...

  16. Micro Fall 2010

    QuarterLife88 replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Had a quiz last week -- I got a 9.5/10 (stupid error), and a test today on chapters 1-3. Pretty easy. So far I like it. My teacher has already warned us that chapter 5 is one of the harder chapters...

  17. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd also like to mention that after A&P 1+2 every other pre-req seems like a breeze by comparison. So there is a plus side,

  18. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not hard to pass -- passing is a "C". It's hard to get an "A." I did, but damn it sucked up ALL my time. I also had a ridiculously hard, first year teacher, and she later admitted that she made...

  19. Anatomy and Physiology I and II - drop out rate

    QuarterLife88 replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For A&P 1, after the 2nd test, at least half my class was gone. We started with 50 or so, and ended with about 20-25. We even remarked as a class how many empty seats there were. Grading never let...

  20. Micro Fall 2010

    QuarterLife88 replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first class is also Thursday! I'm excited. I'm so glad I've already had this professor before for regular bio back when I starting the pre-reqs. She was amazing, so that takes the stress off. Good...

  21. A&P and Micro at the same time?

    QuarterLife88 replied to rcfj2290's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IDK... Are you good at science? When I took A&P 2, I had a friend that was taking that and Micro (without the lab), and was stressed something fierce. I think she got an A- and a B. I'm taking...

  22. A and P 2 Anatomy

    QuarterLife88 replied to proudmommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds normal sad to say. All I ever got was a powerpoint that summed up the chapters, but you literally had to know EveryTHING on those slides, because you never knew what would be on the test. It's...

  23. Nutrition

    QuarterLife88 replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nutrition, IMO, is one of the easiest pre-reqs. I took it in the summer, 7 1/2 weeks, studied about 1 hour a day, and got an easy A. You already seem like you have good study habits, so I think you...

  24. OCC gen ed?

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm at Oakland Comm College, about to finish my pre-reqs in the fall. I noticed though that there's still two more classes I need that are gen ed for the associates degree that I was going to do in...

  25. Which is harder - A&P I or A&P II?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Students

    II is easier. More interesting IMO, and by the time you're taking II you know what to expect as far as how much study you need to put in. I got A's in both, but I struggled in part I, mostly because...
