  1. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    FLDoula replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can understand your being upset at your rejection. They need to look at the overall student not what school they are transferring from. In my school a resident student has priority over a...

  2. What do you guys do to wake up in the morning?

    FLDoula replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    I guess I'm the oddball here. I'm a morning person. I've always gone to bed early and gotten up early. Having 4 children, a husband who was a rescue pilot in the military for 28 years and was up by...

  3. Surprising my parents about getting accepted?!

    FLDoula replied to SUL2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Instead of a long drive home....maybe send them flowers? A fresh spring bouquet with a note attached? Instead of a note that the florist provides maybe you could scan your letter and email it to the...

  4. My reaction to the 1st semester of A&P...

    FLDoula replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your book have a companion website? Also, if you check the sticky for "A&P from my brain to yours"... there are some great websites that will help you. My philosophy for A&P 1 and 2 was...

  5. Please can some help me understand my nln results.

    FLDoula replied to jameelahw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The composite score is what they would use to determine your eligibility. They only require a 50% composite score? 97% is great if that is your composite score. You would have nothing to worry about...

  6. Does your nursing program require you to wear contacts?

    FLDoula replied to floral's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you mean do they require it or do you prefer it? I wear glasses. Tried to wear contacts about 7 years ago and ended up with a serious infection where I almost lost my sight in my left eye. I've...

  7. dream school or parents dream school?

    FLDoula replied to lovelikeamber's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Totally agree with the above posters and your parents. If your parents are paying you are pretty much obligated to do what they want, if not maybe you could work out a compromise. From parental...

  8. A&P PLEEEASE help!!!

    FLDoula replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also had the Meriab A&P book for 1 and 2. I agree with the other poster to take full advantage of the myaandp.com website. THAT was the biggest factor in my passing this class. Also...did your...

  9. I'm 53 and want to be an LVN (Clock is ticking)

    FLDoula replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I turned 50 this past October..... started taking RN pre-reqs and co-reqs in January, 2009. I'm going into our program August, 2011!! I'll be 52 when I graduate. Like you my kids are mostly grown......

  10. Rolling backpack?

    FLDoula replied to newstudent2010's topic in General Students

    I'm sure I carry more than I need in my rolling backpack but unfortunately I live 35 miles one way from school so I carry extra stuff.... During A&P and Micro we had to wear enclosed shoes for...

  11. Rolling backpack?

    FLDoula replied to newstudent2010's topic in General Students

    I have one of the High Sierra's similar to this. Love it!! Room for all my stuff and then some. Mine has a pocket on the top for I-pod but I put my glasses in there. Mine has the main compartment,...

  12. Books...Yowza

    FLDoula replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I purchase my books on Amazon or textbooks.com (I never pay shipping there) I've never paid full price, shop early for the cheaper deals. I used half.com one time for my Micro book and it took me 2...

  13. How are you going to spend your Thanksgiving break?

    FLDoula replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We finish unknowns this Monday. Weds we are leaving for Orlando (2 of our kids live there) and we are going to Disney for a few days! Yippee! The day after I get back we have a Micro lecture exam (the...

  14. Has A & P been difficult for you? I feel really dumb!

    FLDoula replied to Butterfly0328's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school we are also not required to take Chemistry before A&P....what chemistry we need we get in A&P. I'm 50 and have already taken A&P 1 and 2. Wasn't easy but did well with lots of...

  15. 4 classes at same time?

    FLDoula replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    My second pre-req semester I took A&P 1 and the lab, Algebra, Sociology (online) and Human Growth and Development. It was tough but doable. Don't work outside the house, except doula/lactation...

  16. How competitive are CC's?

    FLDoula replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, at my CC we take A&P 1 & 2, Human Growth & Developement, English, Statistics or College Algebra as pre-reqs. Then most (I have) take Microbiology, Nutrition, a humanities, and...

  17. we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    FLDoula replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    I'm not in the program yet...but at our school fake nails are also a no-no. I've never had long nails and it's not important to me. I'm a birth doula and lactation counselor so I keep them fingertip...

  18. What is more difficult? AP or Microbilogy?

    FLDoula replied to sueelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on your strength and weaknesses; not so much as which is harder. So far Micro has been a repeat of A&P 1 & 2 in some aspects...specifically cell biology and a lot of...

  19. A&P and Micro at the same time?

    FLDoula replied to rcfj2290's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Micro/Lab now. I took A&P II last spring semester. There were some who took both when I was in A&P II and they were constantly stressed but they passed both classes with good...

  20. International version of books

    FLDoula replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in General Students

    Funny this subject has come up. I purchased Foundations in Microbiology back on July 23rd thru half.com. I have yet to receive it....It's now August 17th. When I purchased the book it was not...

  21. Dyscalculia and Nursing

    FLDoula replied to LadyBathory's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My son also has discalcula. It took him 3 times in high school to pass geometry. Algebra was also a serious issue. He uses the same method that ToxicShock does by doing the problems until they match...

  22. Statistics Prereq Class - Advice Needed!

    FLDoula replied to SDBella82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took stats online at my school over the summer semester. It was a 12 week course instead of 16. It was a 'hybrid' class that is now being taught in my school. I had 2 hours of in class lecture once...

  23. Has anyone used an e-book instead of a textbook?

    FLDoula replied to mariposabella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I brought this up on another forum. I had a statistics e-book but ended up buying a copy also. I had a lot of eye strain using just the online

  24. necessity of laptop, smartphone, etc?

    FLDoula replied to blissfulinsanity's topic in General Students

    Love my laptop, love my Blackberry....that being said; I took accelerated Statistics over the summer and the book was online. I ended up purchasing the book because staring at the computer was a huge...

    FLDoula replied to letsseehere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
