  1. Things that aggravate the heck out of me!

    I have a prof that says "lair-nix" instead of larynx. Drives me crazy, but she's a great professor (by far the best I have this semester) so I just bite my tongue when it happens.
  2. Failing Patho. Last Day to Drop is Tomorrow.

    Well, I've decided to stick it out. I've gotten together with a friend of mine who has a high B (the highest grade anyone has) and she said she's going to show me how she studies for patho. The problem I'm having is that her lectures are very general...
  3. I'm so upset, and I don't know what to do. I got a 68 on my first Pathophysiology test, so I studied like crazy for the second one which proved to be even harder and I got a 62. Tomorrow is the last day to drop without getting an F for the course and...
  4. Preparing for A&P I

    Get your book early, and start reading. The first 3 chapters are usually a review, so make sure you have a good handle on them. Barron's Anatomy flashcards are good for muscles, bones, and the parts of the brain. Oh, and clear your schedule. Good luc...
  5. AASU LPN-BSN

    If you already have a BA Armstrong will waive the CORE requirements. All you need is ENGL 1101, ENGL 1102, College Algebra or Quantitative Reasoning, Statistics, PSYCH 1101, Developmental Psych, Into Bio or Chel 1 and 2 with labs, A&P 1 and 2 wit...
  6. From Las Vegas to Savannah

    Savannah is a lovely city, I grew up in NYC and spent a few years here as a child and last year chose to move my family back here. Savannah just grows on you I guess. While the rate of pay may be lower, the cost of living here is decidedly lower than...
  7. Glad to hear you got in, Megan. All 80 students will have lecture together on Mondays and Tuesdays 9-12 and 1-4. On Wednesday and Thursday each you will have one lab (either 9-12 or 1-4). That brings it to 4 lectures and 2 labs. If you want to do the...
  8. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    Character counts do not include spaces (this from my computer programmer husband). The recommendation letters need to be in a sealed envelope from your (professor, mentor, community leader...) with their signature across the seal. It doesn't say if t...
  9. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    a new 5 bedroom 4 bath house built from the ground up including new bedroom furniture for the twins (to replace their hand-me-downs), a hot tub, walk in closets, two car garage, huge back yard with a tree house for the twins, custom sub-zero kitchen ...
  10. I got accepted!!!

    :D:D I just found out that I got accepted into my BSN program to start in the Fall. I'm so excited I can barely sit still. :D:D
  11. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    I'm in the process of doing the supplemental paperwork for the scholarship and am having trouble. I can get the required people to write letters on my behalf, but I always seem to mess up the "essay" portions of applications (if 2500 characters can e...
  12. I got accepted!!!

    I got into Armstrong Atlantic State University. My family is very happy for me. I haven't stopped bouncing up and down yet. :hpygrp:
  13. I got accepted!!!

    I already mapped out my *ideal* schedule for Fall, but I'm sure it will change. It looks pretty doable, as long as I don't have to work. I get advised on Tuesday, so I'll see.
  14. How many times did you apply before you got accepted?

    I got in the first time I applied (from what I'm told, by the skin of my teeth). I only applied to one school. I start in the Fall.
  15. I got accepted!!!

    I got accepted in GA. :clpty:
  16. Cant keep a watch working!

    I have the same problem, and so does my dad. We never figured out a solution to it. I just use the clock in my phone.
  17. Taking prereqs and applying spring 2010 for fall 2010

    I'm taking A&P II and (retaking) Intro to Psych to bring that pesky C from 2002 up to an A. Then, this Summer I'll take a 4 week (:eek:INTENSE:eek:) Micro-organisms and Disease w/ Lab. Applications have to be in by Feb 1st! I'm SO excited I can b...
  18. 09-10 hrsa nursing scholarship

    The school cuts you a check for the excess amount. You can use it to pay back the loan you took out, or for whatever you need.
  19. Student loans for more than cost of attendance

    The financial aid office at your school should have information about all your options.
  20. Student loans for more than cost of attendance

    Make sure you are getting the maximum in subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans. Also, you can apply for what's called a PLUS loan to make those extra expenses. PLUS loans, however, require a credit check and the interest rates are based on that ...
  21. A&P1 and micro?

    My school doesn't even let you take A&P and Micro at the same time. The volume of the content is just enormous.
  22. I'm so scared and just don't know what to do.

    I wont say it's going to be easy, because it wont. I have 3 year old twins of my own. Between student loans, pell grants, and your salary from the psych hospital, (IF YOU BUDGET PROPERLY AND STICK TO IT) you may be able to make things work. If your i...
  23. Are you getting a ADN or going straight to BSN ?

    I'm going for my BSN since I already have a bachelors in another field and the university here accepted my degree to meet all my core requirements. An ADN would actually take me just as long as getting my BSN.
  24. AASU accepted or wait listed for Fall 2009

    It's not an ADN program, it's BSN. There aren't any accelerated programs in the area. I'm just lucky they've accepted all my core credits and a few pre-reqs. All they asked me to do before I can apply for clinicals is A&P 1and2 and Microorganisms...
  25. AASU accepted or wait listed for Fall 2009

    Did you get into the program at AASU? I'm doing my A&P right now and fear I may be in the same boat when I go to apply for Fall 2010 since I'm also a post bac student.
