Hello all, I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for a while now! I'm at the very beginning of this journey to become an RN (ADN program) and I'm nervous, terrified, excited and a little overwhelmed! :) I'm planning ...

I took MAT070 (beginner's algebra college course) online and had no problems with it. I'm not good at math either, but I just read the textbook, did the activities and spent alot of time working on each section until I "got it". I then went on to t...

I haven't been in high school in 12 years and I am taking general biology (111) and a&p I at the SAME TIME! It has definitely been a struggle, especially those first few weeks but I read and studied and asked questions and I'm doing better than ...

I was able to get the maximum pell and maximum stafford loans (5300 roughly for the pell and 9500 for the stafford loans). It may sound like alot, but that's for the whole year and is my only source of income so it's definitely hard to make it stret...

Sounds excessive to me, but I am just taking online general psych right now - dev psych is next semester for me. I can tell you that in my general psych, we read one chapter a week, have a quiz on that chapter, a mid-term and a final (non-cumulative...

You really hit the nail on the head! I said something similar on another thread. My A&P teacher told us right out of his own mouth that the purpose of aspiring nursing students taking A&P prior to entering the program is to "weed out" those...

Congrats on getting an A on your first test! My A&P is going great! I was so lost that first few weeks when it was all about chemistry and stuff becuase I haven't done anything remotely like that since high school (I'm 30!). Now that we've mov...

I'm sorry you're having a problem with your professor. I agree with the others that say you should contact the dean or someone about it because you're paying for her to teach you. As for the class average being an F, that isn't good at all. In my ...

Anyone else taking A&P I this fall? I am taking it, along with four other classes. I'm really nervous because I have heard its extremely difficult! Hopefully those of us taking it this fall can help each other out when we have a question, so p...

We're using Seeley's Principles of A&P (1st ed.)! So far the book is pretty good and they have tons of online resources as well, including animations and games, which has been super helpful. My instructor is one of the best at the college - has...

Sorry for the vent, I'm just frustrated with some of my classes. I'm taking A&P I, English, Biology, Psychology and Intro to Computers. I'm annoyed with the teaching styles of some instructors. It's like they are intentionally trying to trick ...

Independent variable would be the amount of time spent in the lab each week, because that is what you would vary for each of the participants (one person might spend 3 hours, one person might spend 6 hours, etc.). I am not sure what the dependent va...

Thanks to you both! You're right - I think now that I have seen how his tests are and where he derives his questions from, I'll know where to focus my studying!

I have an instructor that does sorta the same thing (not A&P though). He is very monotone and talks "at" the class rather than "to" us. He doesn't interact with us, doesn't ask questions, try to make it fun or interesting. Honestly I could jus...

OH I almost forgot to answer #3. Pie, definitely!

Congrats on your decision!!! I'm also in the pre-nursing track, but I'm a female so I can't really answer your first question - no clue there. As for number two, you could possibly get a job in a healthcare setting in an administrative position, bu...

I'm in the same boat. I failed high school Chemistry. Here's what I have managed to grasp though. An atom can have 2 electrons in the first shell, and up to 8 electrons on each shell thereafter. The atom wants to fill up its shells to 8 so that i...

PS - I can't wait until its my turn to wear scrubs! I'll wear them with pride everywhere I go lol.

A few in my A&P I class wear scrubs. I have asked a couple and they both are CNA's. Hope this helps!

I would recommend that you google "beginning algebra", "intermediate algebra" because those would be the equivalent of MAT070 and MAT080 at most community colleges. You will find some online textbooks, practice tests and walk through's. That's what...

I would suggest you call the college and just ask. At my cc, they have classes twice a month on Satudays for CPR. You can also call the local health department or other colleges to ask. Just make sure the CPR course meets your nursing program's re...

The way it was explained to us is, you start at 4x and use the large knob on the side to bring it into focus. You then change the objective to 10x and from that point on, do not use the large knob...only the smaller one in the middle of it. You can...

I don't know your situation, but I have a husband and two kids and I do not work - just go to school. What I did was, when I registered for my classes, I made it so that I had a built in study/lunch break between classes. So 3 days a week I have a ...

Same here, no minimum required! Basically they just add whatever your TEAS score is to your point ranking sheet. I think that's pretty fair, since I'm not going to have all of my pre-reqs done by the time I apply. So if I do better on the TEAS tha...

@ adams mama 07 I have seen a lot of the nursing students at my cc lugging around rolling suitcases!! I wonder what in the world they have in there?
