1. Any schools in Michigan without a wait list?

   Austrya replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Jackson Community College uses a point system instead of a waitlist, but it's pretty competitive. They go by grades, prior certification, special classes, etc. They just changed the system so I'm not...

2. What helped you learn Physiology? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

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

   I also agree with the YouTube videos. It's much easier to understand if you see it in action. I couldn't wrap my brain around it in A&P but our professor showed us some videos and gave us links...

3. Would you guys recommend taking Micro or Anatomy/Phys first?

   Austrya replied to futureRN-BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I just told a friend yesterday that I would definitely take A&P and chemistry before micro. I'm taking micro right now after having taken A&P and chem last semester. I'm having an easier time...

4. Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

   Austrya replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm not embarrassed about getting good grades at all. If someone else doesn't like it, that's their problem, not mine. I'm just super nerdy and I love learning, so I treat school as more of a hobby...

5. Major issues with Chemisry!!!

   Austrya replied to Melanie19877's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Study groups help a lot. Find someone in your class who likes chemistry and who is good at it and get a group together once a week and study. You'll need the stuff you learn in chemistry in other...

6. What is your favorite class so far?

   Austrya replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   So far it's a toss up between A&P and chemistry. I haven't taken micro yet, but I'm pretty sure it will be right up my

7. OU Nursing vs. UMich Nursing

   Austrya replied to wbrogers's topic in Michigan Nursing

   OU has a great nursing program, as does U of M. If it were me, I'd go the OU route only because they're paying your tuition and you'll be direct admit. When everything is said and done, you won't...

8. Michigan State ADN-BSN?

   Austrya replied to amjowens's topic in Michigan Nursing

   Check into the online RN to BSN program at U of M - Flint. I looked into the one at MSU also and they don't transfer my pharmacology, nutrition, or pathophysiology class for some reason. I would...

9. Pre-Nursing students what has been

   Austrya replied to anon321d's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Hands down it was English comp. I only got a 2.5 in that. Oops... So far chem and a&p have been a

10. Things you'd like to say to your fellow classmates

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

    OMG, this is my biggest pet peeve too! In my A&P class, the professor posts the grades online and everyone is assigned a secret number so the grades are anonymous. On the top of the first test,...

11. Hey PreReq-ers, how is Fall Semester going so far?

    Austrya replied to espo44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently taking A&P (combined 1 & 2 into one semester), chemistry (combination of general, bio, and organic), and pharmacology. I'm getting A's in all of them! I just hope I can keep it...

12. ADVICE PLEASE! Anatomy & Other Pre-reqs.

    Austrya replied to Ready4theAction's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say to drop the a&p if it won't be held against you. 17 credits is a lot to handle in one semester! I think taking the nutrition class and a chem class before a&p will make a&p a...

13. Passing a&p and chemistry with A's

    Austrya replied to IClaimNursingSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P, chemistry of life, and pharmacology this semester. It's tough, but doable if you don't mind studying a ton! I have very organized binders for each class and use those little...

14. University of Michigan Accelerated Nursing program

    Austrya replied to ejcl68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jackson Community College has an online Pharmacology class and you can take it without being in their nursing program. Classes have already started for the fall semester

15. Starting pre-reqs at JCC in a few days...nervous
