I whined earlier in this thread about the Mastering Chemistry homework that has to be done each week. I guess I have to eat my words, the homework is definitely helping me, and is probably the reason I went from a 70 to a 97 on my tests. I don't kn...

We just had a test on the DNA/genetics chapter, control of microbial growth and parts of another chapter. I got a low B, which is better than I expected. I think this test will be curved since no one got an A. I think I understand the material, bu...

I just got my second test score today, an A! After getting a low C on the first test I am psyched that I got such a good grade. I studied a lot, there are no shortcuts for me in this class. I have to review and practice a lot, so i'ts turning into...

Hey, I am also waiting, impatiently I might add. The application window is Sept. 1 to Sept. 30 and then about 6 weeks to receive a letter. Sometime in there, they will be requesting personal interviews. So I am waiting for the last 7 days of Septe...

Oh that stinks. I don't have lab reports in Micro, just quizzes thank goodness. Hang in there, you can do it. Best, L.

How is everyone doing in lab? We turn in reports from a lab manual and I just got my first lab back today with an okay grade, but no feedback or anything marked wrong on the actual report. I thought I did a very thorough job, but the professor said...

When I volunteered, I followed the attire of the coordinator and other office workers at the hospital, which was business casual. I didn't wear a dress, but slacks and a dress shirt for the orientation part and the initial intro and interview. I th...

Hmmm, I am wondering the same thing. The only reason I might be interested is for scholarships, although one of my professors who I respect very much said I should join. I hope some of the other students will share their experiences.

So how is Micro for everyone? We had our first test last week on Ch. 1-4 in the Tortora book. Chapter 5 is starting off pretty intense. So far, I am really enjoying the lab part, we've done gram stains, and made countless slides and plates. Best, ...

Hey DahliaDaisy, I hear you girl. That stupid introduction to the homework was making me want to tear my hair out. LovelyMama, did you say bonus points? I didn't get any stinking bonus points:confused:. Repeat after me...Pearson is evil...Pearson i...

It depends. My A&P I class had more than 50% drop rate. Why? I think some, the people that showed for only one or two classes thought the professor was a jerk and indicated they would take it with a different professor. Some stuck it out to th...

Sign up as a volunteer and ask for any assignments that would give you exposure to clinical areas. In my experience, if you are a student, they try to get you into an area that is relevant to the education you are pursuing. It was a whole process,...

This website url http://www.pc.ctc.edu/hart/ has similar photomicrographs to the Atlas of the Human Body we used in our lab. These are the kinds of photos we had to identify along with knowing where in the body these tissues would be found. HTH, best...

Another thread got me to thinking about using index cards for notes or to drill before a test. That thread mentioned studyshack.com where there are stacks made by users for different subjects. For some reason, I've never gotten the hang of using them...

I am in my second week of chem class. So far, I really like the professor. However 25% of our grade is online homework. It supposedly corresponds to the problems in the book. It does, sort of. The online homework will take the same question and ...

Wow, those are all great ideas. I like the systematic way about the pile you know cold vs. the one where you need to go over the concept again. I tried to make handwritten cards back in A&P as I was reading the book, but by the time I wrote the...

I agree with the suggestion to volunteer at a hospital to really see what goes on. I just recently did, and it verified that I was picking the right area for me. There are so many medical areas where one can help people that are not bedside nursing. ...

Thanks for the tip about study shack. I completely agree about reading ahead, there's nothing worse than realizing that you've fallen behind and trying to play catch up right before a big test. Best, L.

I had another class today. Two things about the online homework, it's not timed, it just has to be done by the due date and the problems correspond to the problems in the book:yeah:. So I guess I won't cut and run. At least all of our tests and qu...

Well, I signed into the Pearson online part for homework and I am seriously reconsidering if I want to stay in the class. I went through the intro lessons which teach you how to enter your answers in their system and it was very frustrating. This wa...

Hi, I just wanted to add not to get into the mindset of certain classes will be an easy A. I took A&P II with Microcomputer Apps., Comp 1 and Sociology last Spring thinking I would have lots of time to concentrate on A&P II. I think of the ...

Went to my first class today. The professor seems great, really helpful. The bummer though is online homework through the Pearson portal, so I have to buy the access card. We covered scientific notation and measured vs. exact numbers. There are th...

First, I wish you all the best. There are other single parents on this site who have worked and attended nursing school at the same time. My only suggestion is to maybe explore the LPN program since some of them may have alternate hours that would wo...

This is just priceless, lol. I love it.

I start on 8-23.
