  1. Vango Notes anyone?

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone used or is planning to use Vango Notes? I ran across them tonight on http://www.audible.com. I listened to the samples for A&P and Micro. It also looks like they have a lot of...

  2. MC Spring 2010 - anyone out there

    2ndLife posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just got my certified packet in the mail today. I'm slightly freaking because I didn't think it was going to happen. Now I'm looking at everything I have to do, wondering how I'm going to support...

  3. ADMITTED!!

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't been on here for a while because things got all messed up with my prerequisites and I wasn't sure if nursing was ever going to happen for me. Basically, my employer refused to let me adjust...

  4. ADMITTED!!

    2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My undergrad GPA was about a 3.3. I got my B.A. in 1995. Most of my science courses are 20 years old but my science GPA was about a 3.8. I did well on the TEAS test and I've been taking other,...

  5. Totally confused - Nursing vs. Teaching

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got my acceptance letter for nursing school. The next day I got my acceptance letter for a Master's teacher certification program to teach Biology. Now I'm not sure what to do. I'm starting...

  6. Acceptance to montgomery college nursing program

    2ndLife replied to liz0808's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I went to the information session at Frederick and was told that there was nearly zero possibility of someone from another county gaining admission to their program. They do everything on a point...

  7. Acceptance to montgomery college nursing program

    2ndLife replied to liz0808's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Your post is dated September 2009 and you said you wanted to apply for Fall 2009. I'm thinking you meant Fall 2010. But anyway, I just learned that I was accepted without having completed A&P....

  8. Montgomery College Takoma Park

    2ndLife replied to MNRN22's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Can you tell me how your schedule works out with NU 105 and 110? The schedules don't specify how much time you're spending for the NU 110 lab. I'm just trying to get an idea of what my schedule is...

  9. New Nursing Students age 50 and up

    2ndLife replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    I worry about this, too. Provided I'm accepted into a program next year, I will be 57 by the time I

  10. I have a question about taking A&P 1 and 2 together

    2ndLife replied to Tracy B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it would depend on the school. I originally registered for A&P 1 and 2 for this semester but decided it would be too much to take both plus two online courses and work full-time (I don't...

  11. Feel like crying...need encouragement

    2ndLife replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll second that! I haven't read all the posts but I'm guessing I may win the prize: 54 and re-taking my pre-reqs. Heck, I figure I've still got another 10 good years in the work force and I'm...

  12. 1st year nursing student with a slight fear of needles

    2ndLife replied to rach_006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have a fear of getting a needle or watching someone else get one. It's poking someone (and hurting them) that gives me the shakes. As an undergrad I did a fellowship in cancer research and...

  13. Part-time evening/weekend nursing school?

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since I have to support myself while attending nursing school, can anyone tell me if they have a PT evening/weekend program in their area? We don't have one here and I'm willing to move. I'd be...

  15. Calculator for General Chemistry

    2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Already had Stat so I don't need to take that. But I definitely want one that will do scientific notation and metric conversions. Staples had one on sale this week that I thought would do the trick...

  16. Calculator for General Chemistry

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Will I need a calculator for General Chem? If so, any recommendations? I have a couple of basic ones at home but none that will do scientific

  17. For A&P1, what are LAB PRACTICALS/TESTS like??

    2ndLife replied to tinediddy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm retaking A&P and it's been a while since I took it but this explanation is very close to what I recall. We used cat and fetal pig cadavers. When we were studying the histology portion of...

  18. Got interview email...no one called! What to do :(

    2ndLife replied to NurseDevonL's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't wait. I'd call HR and explain the situation, making clear that you understand that situations arise and appointments can't always be kept. Let HR know that you are still extremely...

  19. Is volunteer or direct patient contact experience necessary?

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work full-time in the legal arena, have a B.S. in Biology (dated), and worked in a hospital as an admission's clerk many many years ago. Also, as an undergrad I did a year as a "medical fellow"...

  20. PLEASE HELP!! Anyone with advice for taking the TEAS test! I am totally freaking out!

    2ndLife replied to Special Kae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Looking at my study guide now and from what I recall of my test, there were questions on the food web, symbiotic relationships, maybe one about taxonomy and maybe one or two about plate tetonics. If...

  21. What is the DEAL with these textbooks?

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was hoping to get some kind of deal on my textbooks through Amazon, Half, Textbooks.com, Chegg or one of the other online sources. Unfortunately, most the books I need are packages that include...

  22. Georgetown U. Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

    2ndLife replied to JLSELD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A question for those of you who applied: I know the WHC scholarship covers 80% of the tuition, but what are your plans to pay the remaining balance and costs of living? It appears that the remaining...

  23. Taking A&P I Fall 2009?

    2ndLife replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not Summermeadow but I hope you don't mind my answering. :) I was going to start reading and outlining the chapters in my text based on the order of the labs I see in my lab notebook (cellular...

  24. What is the DEAL with these textbooks?

    2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's a question for everyone. Should I curb my enthusiasm and NOT remove the shrink wrap from the books until class begins? I so very much want to open the books and start reading and doing my...

  25. What is the DEAL with these textbooks?

    2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Up until now I've never paid so much for textbooks. The A&P book I don't mind spending the money on because I'll use it for 2 semesters. It's the other pre-req books that caused me to gasp. One...
