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 Nursing programs (med-surg, neonatal, mental health). Y...

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 myself, can I handle puke and pooh, can I physical...

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 my hours to arrive 30 minutes early and leave 30 ...

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, non-related classes at this school for the last 3 seme...

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 to do a "Pros and Cons" list for each and hoping t...

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 system, giving points for GPA, grades in pre-requisit...

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. I have previously taken Micro, Chem and many other...

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 going to look like in the Spring. Thanks!

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

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 know why I thought that, but I did). I didn't hav...

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 going to do it as a nurse.

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 had to give shots to mice. I didn't even like doin...

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 interested in ADN, BSN, Accelerated BSN or MSN for peo...

M-F: Work 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. M & W: A&P 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Sat: Chem 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Two online classes: Nutrition and Growth & Development Me, about November 1st:

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 but no metric conversions. Beh.

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 notation.

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 A&P, we'd have to identify different cell types on ...

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 interested in the position and ask whether there is someo...

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" i.e. I worked in a cancer research lab. I'm wonderin...

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 I had to guess, I'd say maybe a total of 5-6 quest...

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 CDs and web access codes that I'm told I will need. ...

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 20% would be about $8,000 then there's rent, food...

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 first). But I'm thinking I'll leave my text in the...

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 chapter outlines. Yes, I'm a geek and proud of it. ...

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 for Nutrition and the other for Growth and Devel....
