We just finished the tissue chapter (according to my prof's website...'ve been sick and had to miss class), and our next test is over chapters 3 and 4. It's next week, along with our bones
NAC = CNA, basically. Certified Nursing Assistant, Nursing Assistant Certified, etc. Basically...maybe some volunteer hours? I'm not really sure. I know my school only looks at pre-reqs and you have...
Ugh, I'm so having this problem too! I have a chem exam tomorrow and I'm not even studying for it right now cuz I don't want to. I'm taking 20 credit-hours on top of it and am exhausted and completely...
I don't have much to offer, I just wanted to say that I think you're a really inspiring person for being able to be so cheerful after everything that's happened. I wish you the best of luck in...
Just to comment on the Waiting List thing - as far as I know, none of Washington's schools hold waiting lists. They're all competitive admissions, which means you apply and hope to get in. A few may...
I'm stuck because I desperately need out of my house. Nursing is the quickest way to make enough money to do that - to be able to make enough to survive on my own and never have to live here again....
I wanted to chime in and say I feel kind of the same way, except my situation is far bleaker than yours. :) My GPA is a 3.0 cum, after...almost 90 quarter credits? Really what I wanted to say...is go...
Next quarter I'm taking A&P2 (we're on a quarter system so we have 3 A&Ps), Micro, Nursing Chem, and...oh! An HTML fundamentals class. Since I'm taking 20 CR this quarter (A&P1, genchem1,...
To sound completely boor-ish, that's what I had to resort to when taking an online economics class. I hated that class with such a passion. No more economics for me if I can avoid
Some states (OR comes to mind) have a CNA I and a CNA II levels. CNA II is mostly acute-based training - they learn more "advanced" skills, like blood draws, etc, I think, and are trained to take care...
I had to miss class today, so I don't know my /official/ score, but I think I ended up with a 82.something which is B. I'm really, really disappointed in myself.
We have our second exam in two weeks - over...two chapters, I think? We move a little differently since we cover different stuff than the "normal folks". As for the personality...I have no idea. I...
Somedays I hope I do, some days I hope I won't (fall in love with nursing). I've sworn for YEARS that I'd never become a nurse, and after school, there are only two areas I want to work in - PICU or...
I hope I did well too. I don't...really want to be a nurse, I think, but...it's what my mother's gunning for. I know at 19 I can "make my own decisions", but I can't afford to move out and she'll...
I think there's some in the lungs and part of the reproductive tract, but I'm probably confusing it with other things...maybe the nasal tract, too? Heck, for all I know, I'm confusing it with...
I don't really think that this is true, to be honest. I've never worked in a factory before but I very well know what it's like living paycheck to paycheck, wondering what would happen if I got...
Ours are separate too - we have our histology practical this Friday. But the instructor can slip in things like "where is pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium found?" if he wants - and he...
I had my first test today too. It wasn't too bad - I aced the written portion, which made me happy. Got most of the questions right, too, I think. A lot of it was lecture-based, everything was on the...
I have my first lecture exam tomooorrrooowwww. I'm nervous as heck, blergh. However, it's only over chapter 1, 2, and the very first part of three (not even to organelles). One thing to remember,...

It's just with a high debt load with far less starting pay than med school. You don't, to be honest - you just need the pre-requisites, though tons of people apply with bachelor's degrees and it's...
I'll hopefully be entering nursing school next fall and I'm doing it to get out of an abusive situation (AKA, my family). Yeah, I could provide with other jobs, but nursing tends to pay better and...

I guess I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum - it's my mother that's pushing me to go into nursing. My family's really, really abusive (emotionally) and I'm doing it just to be able to make the...
To be honest, I'm probably not studying as much as I should...but I am juggling six classes. Probably...hmm, I'm shooting for probably 8-10 hours a week? I have my first test on Tuesday, covering all...
