  1. dissecting cats

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some A&P classes disect fetal pigs and not cats. My A&P professor didn't have us dissect a cat or a pig. We dissected different body parts typically from cows and sheep, but he felt dissecting...

  3. How to make A&P reading less boring

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

    I highlight and I also write down some notes as I read the text (I'm keeping my book so it's in the margins). I also find it helps me to read chapters in sections, try to break, answer a few...

  4. Please help, I am getting bad grades in AP1 and am very discouraged?

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How strong is your science background? I took biology for science majors the term before my A&PI class (taking now) and it has really helped so much! My professor was just speaking about how...

  5. Why the HURRY to Get into Nursing?

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't agree with you more. I'm currently still working my "first career" as management in a corporation - 8-5 job BUT once I'm accepted to nursing school I'll have to quit that job and give up an...

  7. Associates in Nursing vs Bachelors?

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to twinboys's topic in General Nursing

    Many universities offer a "fast track" BSN for individuals already holding a Bachelors in another field. It's often the same number of terms as the Associates. It might be an option to check out.

  8. To all the moms out there: How did you do it?

    Well, I'm in the middle of doing it. My children are 15 (stepson), 8 year old son, 3 year old daughter and 18 month old. I work full time, 8-5 in a corporate job and I go to school at night and do...

  9. Is Regular Biology a Pre-Req for A&P?

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to ktdidit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Bio1010 (biology for science majors) prior to taking A&P1 and I'm soooo glad I did! It wasn't required but it gave me such a great foundation for the first part of A&P. I noticed...

  10. I feel so hopeless ! :(

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to hopefulUS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know the last thing you want to hear is you have time - but at 19-20 years old, honey, you have time! Cherish the time you have while you are young to go to school. Work hard, keep up a can-do...

    coffeeaftermidnight posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What class has been your most challenging out of all your pre-nursing classes?

  13. Challenging Classes

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to coffeeaftermidnight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far I have to say my most challenging class was Biology 1010. I earned an A but it was tough! I'm in A&P I right now. I'm so, so thankful I took Biology 1010 last term. Many of the...

  14. Paying for Childcare while in school

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to blessed2bfree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My tuition and books for full time enrollment at a community college is slightly less than $2000 per term. My student loan is for over $5000 per term, leaving $3000 to use as I wish. Considering a...

  15. mom of 3 starting mid-quarter Feb.

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is doable but you have to prioritize. My house isn't nearly as clean as it used to be. :) I'm also married, have four children (14 year old step son, 8 year old son, 3 year old daughter and 16...

  16. A&P 1: Need Some Help

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to emt3352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in A&P1 and we just wrapped up our first week which covered Chemistry as well as a Molecular Transport Lab. I feel I have a pretty good grasp on the material. Perhaps post your question here...

  17. Should I just forget it?

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to propeace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think we all have some sort of hang up we have to get over to go balls out and shoot for what we REALLY want. I'm overweight. I deal with sterotypes daily, especially seeking my RN. Didn't you...

  18. Taking Notes - By hand or by Laptop?

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on what class I'm in. In AP I hand write all my notes and record the lectures. There is far too much drawing to even attempt to type them on my laptop. I always come home and...

  20. A & P 1 Spring 2010

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was fortunate enough to be on the list for day 2 of early registration so there were quite a few open AP options. I'm all set for next term! Yeah! Now if the bookstore would just hurry up so I can...

  21. Need help, what classes should I take

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to kbm318's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Understanding World Religions is an extra I'm taking as I feel as nurses we will touch the lives of many people with many different belief systems. Often we are there during times when they feel they...

  22. RN's giving report to CNA's?

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to AnnieNHRN's topic in General Nursing

    Over ten years ago I worked as a CNA on med/surg. If we were working a 7-3 shift we had to be there by 6:45 to receive report. Everyone (RNs, LPNs and CNAs) was required to be there for the report...

  23. What do you do with your dogs during 3 7a-7p shifts???

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to goofygreyhound's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, this is a common thought about greyhounds that doesn't really ring true. Greyhounds are the world's fastest couch potatoes. My dogs lay around and sleep 90% of the time. They spend another...

  24. What do you do with your dogs during 3 7a-7p shifts???

    coffeeaftermidnight replied to goofygreyhound's topic in General Nursing

    I have greyhounds. I don't suggest leaving them outdoors. Greyhounds don't have much body fat, so any temperature under 40 degrees requires a coat. Any extremely warm temps lead to overheating....

    coffeeaftermidnight posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started back to school this summer after being out for nearly 13 years. This summer I'm taking Intermediate Algebra, Nutrition and Ethics. I'm currently attending a local community college which...
