I actually took AP I and Micro at the same time. I didn't find it to be too difficult. The first couple of weeks were actually almost identical (cell structure and general biology). Although Micro spends the rest of the time covering non-human cel...

I had one for Microbiology -- Which is not used to describe bacteria?.... and the correct answer was ..... wait for it........ TASTE ................. :barf01: You could tell how far along on the test thyat every person was based on the giggle...

RLPORTEE -- I'm sorry to hear of your situation and hope that you ARE able to find a program that works for you. Again, try your state's Board of Nursing website. Also try looking on your state's government website. Our's (Michigan) lists programs...

RLPORTEE -- What you said in your original post did not offend me. What I said was that it was difficult to believe and I explained why. To be clear, I'm not saying that you lied in your post either. I'm only saying that you may not have all of the...

I'd second just about everything above and add a couple more.... 1) Get your book(s) as soon as possible and start reading. You won't know everything when you get to class the first day, but having already read the material, the lectures may "click...

I agree with John20. I'm currently at Baker finishing pre-req's -- received my AAS there and I like the school. But when it comes to applications for the Nursing program, I'm submitting app's to multiple schools. I've spoken with a few friends tha...

A couple of things to think about..... 1) If you simply look at the predictable increase in patients due to the aging "baby boomer" generation, the projections for nurses over the next 5-10 years is anticipated to be at shortage levels, even with ev...

Maggie -- I saw that you mentioned that your Anatomy grade will be 5 years old once you graduate, but have you looked into a school that has a "nursing as a second career" program? For instance, the University of Michigan has an accelerated program ...

I'm a Baker student finishing up my pre-reqs to apply in Fall 09 for the Spring 10 term. (I already have a AAS from Baker as well, so I've been in school a while ) Because the competition is so tight at Baker, I've decided to hedge my bets and appl...

I too am in this situation and will be submitting my appeal in a couple of weeks. I'm not expecting any problems, but if I do have them, I'll be up a creek From what the financial aid advisor told me, this is not a school thing, but a federal thing...

If your credits are from a Michigan school, you can get a general idea of which schools will accept your credits and which classes they will count towards at www.michigantransfernetwork.org If you are hoping for more of your credits to transfer than...

Great advise !!! I second them.

I'm just the opposite. After two separate HORRIBLE experiences with male GYNs, I will never agree to a male GYN again. I even refused a male OB and made quite a scene when they tried to send one in at the last minute when my daughter was born. How...

I "googled" her name and found and address for her in a siting on http://www.springerlink.com/content/xg8m88506g5r1t42/ It lists: Department of Medical Research, Methodist Hospital of Indiana, Inc., 46202 Indianapolis, Indiana You could start ther...

It probably also depends on the state. I'm in Michigan, and have only attended a private college, so can not attest to the teaching styles of CC -vs- U profs,. I am applying to multiple schools for NS and I have researched the transferability of cr...

Yep, sounds like yours is the same as mine. A "B" is a 3.0 here too.

At my school, the lowest grade that you can have in pre-reqs, as well as ALL nursing classes and clinicals is a B- (2.7 -- the bar is set high here). If you need to take a pre-req over, you can only do so once. Each class you take over causes you ...

I think for you to get appropriate feedback, you're going to need to divulge your school so you can solicit input from students where you're attending. However if this helps, I attend an accellerated cirriculum school (10 week semesters) and I'm cur...

MRSLRG --- Oh I agree. Today was beautiful !! (I'm in Sterling Heights.) Although I will be taking classes during the summer, I am taking full advantage of the break between terms to do some planting. I'm putting in some flowers and a few veggies....

MRSRLG.... Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going have to work on reminding myself to just do the best I can or I'll drive myself nuts. You've got good advise. :redbeathe

Hi everyone !! I'm at CT and will be applying in Fall for the 2010 Spring term RN program. I just found this site a couple of days ago and man !! if I wasn't anxious before, I sure am now after reading all the posts about the entrance score cut-offs ...
