  1. Least favorite pre-req: Political Science

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm down to my last pre-reqs...met with a counselor, she said my grades are great and i should get in, but I'm worried about Pol Sci. I need an A and it is so not my thing. I'd hate to have my dreams...

  2. Your desired specialty

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

    Cardiac. My favorite part of A&P was the heart:redbeathe. I really enjoyed it and I find it a fascinating organ, and Nutrition and the related diseases only fueled my

  3. OCC gen ed?

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yup, Anne, all of the 11 required that they want will be completed this fall when I apply. I was just nervous that since it's an associate degree (the entire package) that they might not accept me if...

  4. Male Nursing Students

    QuarterLife88 replied to simple500's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IA. Good post Paco. Even now in my pre-reqs, it's still mostly female, but occasionally I see some guys in my classes and it's really nice actually. I hope they are getting the support from...

  5. Male Nursing Students

    QuarterLife88 replied to simple500's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What a sad mentality this is, as if being gay is some sort of crime. *sigh* This macho male attitude has not improved. I also find it sad to read that a lot of males might feel discouraged from...

  6. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    I had a horrible teacher for A&P 1. She was good with biochem, but beyond that - useless. I got an A in spite of her, because I made myself get one. This required about 30 hours a week of study...

  7. Preparing for A&P I

    QuarterLife88 replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get all of the sleep and fun in while you can. Once you start A&P, if you want an A, most likely you'll be married to it. I spent many night tossing and turning overmy lab exam grades.

  8. How do you study for A&P?

    QuarterLife88 replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great job Anne! Yes, I liked her lecture exams because of the over 100% factor, and that's a good buffer because of the lab exams! I don't think she will ever give you anything not talked about. She...

  9. How do you study for A&P?

    QuarterLife88 replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to take the powerpoints, sit them next to my open book and read the sections in the book at least once for context. Then I solely studied from my powerpoints because that's all my exams were...

  10. I survived A&P I&II!!

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's over! and I came out with A's!! Many tears/stress/loss of free time and sanity, but my 7 1/2 month journey has come to an end! I remember my first day of A&P1 - I was shaking in my shoes,...

  11. Micro and A&P 2 together?

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

    I didn't but had a friend that did and she was exhausted. A&P2 is like 2 classes by itself. I'm not sure about Micro (taking it in the

  12. Who has taken chemistry and anatomy together?

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

    I did this Fall '09 got two A's. A&P1 was tough because I had an awful teacher and I had to eat, sleep, breathe this class. Chemistry was better and I enjoyed it far more, and could skip a day or...

  13. Sociology and Fundamentals to Chemistry

    QuarterLife88 replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sociology is very easy. I wouldn't worry at all. Chemistry, for me it depended on the teacher. I dropped it the first time because my teacher was awful, rude and confused me. Took it with someone else...

  14. Difference of A&P I and A&P II?

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

    A&P II is just a continuation from I. You finish the rest of the body and the major systems -- there's simply too much to fit in one class so they made it two. I thought it (II) was easier because...

  15. Nutrition Summer 2010

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone else have it now? Had it before? Advice? So far I have a test this Wed. on chapters 1-3. Chapter 3 is nothing but a review of the digestive system from A&PII, so definitely an advantage...

  16. Does anybody else get this from family or friends.....

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

    A lot of people underestimate what a nurse does IMO. My own father scoffs at the idea, asking me, "why would you want to wipe people's butts?" He has no idea other than what the media might portray or...

  17. Getting bad vibes about next class

    QuarterLife88 replied to Anne36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ngl Anne, that annoyed me about her too. I mean the quizzes are easy and if you know it, you'll be done in 5 min or less. Very basic stuff. During my semester though, because of the snow days, she...

  18. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

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

    Anne once you have the first quiz in her class, you'll be all right. They look similar to the tests. Know everything from her notes - always read the book at least once to have everything in context,...

  19. Are you taking the summer off?

    QuarterLife88 replied to windmill182's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. I have Nutrition right now, and Pol Sci summer II. I almost took a break, and was going to put Pol Sci in the fall with Micro, but I decided Micro would be best served alone. After A&P 1&2...

  20. Getting bad vibes about next class

    QuarterLife88 replied to Anne36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anne, PM me who it is. You might have my professor. If so, she's not as bad as she was rated, trust

  21. A&P 1 Spring 2010

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

    Even though I am so over, A&PII right now (2 more weeks)...it is more interesting body system wise IMO, thus it seemed easier to me (but the urinary system was a snooze IMO). LOVED cardiovascular...

  22. Anatomy and Physiology

    QuarterLife88 replied to cicatrixx15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hardest: Muscles Least Favorite: Muscles, Digestive, & Urinary Most Boring: Bones & Urinary Favorite: Circulatory & Blood...and we're almost on Genetics, and I love that

  23. Nursing programs that don't require Chemistry?!

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

    It's funny - I avoided chemistry in high school because I was scared of it. Found out I needed it for nursing so I tried it over the summer. Bad experience...I dropped it. Last semester I took it...

  24. OCC GPA!

    QuarterLife88 replied to Jessalynn3869's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I second what Anne said. In A&P1 I got a B+ and then two C's on my lab exams! I got an A in the class only because of lecture grades and some extra credit. The dean came in our A&P2 class a...

  25. How many hours do you study for A/P II tests?

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

    I start the second I get the material, like the other poster said, even if thet test is a month away, you cannot let stuff sit around in this class. Lots of people drop or fail bc they don't get this...
