  1. To me, I've found them equal but different. The classes at a CC are generally smaller, for instance. Does that make them easier? Sometimes if it's a class you're struggling with and the person who...
  2. Welcome! I don't know how qualified I am to fully answer your questions since I'm not familiar with those specific schools. But I did have a couple questions for you that at least for me is a big part...
  3. Thanks for all the advice guys! I'm taking a PCT class in the spring. I'm hoping to get a p/t job as a nurse's aid somewhere, so I can quit my full time day job to focus on getting my RN prereqs taken...
  4. Hi folks, Has this question been answered before? I'm probably going to sound like a real newbie here, which, of course, I am! I'm a pre-nursing student, and I've finished my first semester of...
  5. Imortance of Order of Prereqs

    The first classes ~I~ would take would be the ones that are basic prereqs to get into real prereqs. Like let's say you need English 101 to get into Psych 101 (which is an actual nursing prereq at most...
  6. Hey thanks! And I finally finished the whole sticky thread at the top of this forum and realized that was probably a better place to ask my questions.
  7. A&P 1 students,,,, How ya doing?

    Just got my grades. 4.0s across the board
  8. What to do with this empty bank account?

    Well I feel your pain about not qualifying for Pell grant money, but I'm surprised you don't qualify for the subsidized Stafford Loan or PLUS loan. I'm in the same boat with being a full time worker...
  9. help! filling out nursing school application

    (I'm the "grammer queen" today.) You don't need the comma after "career" in the second sentence. In terms of style, I'd say keep everything in the same tense. Either present or future and keep out the...
  10. Taking A & P I again...any advice?

    For me, I'd say it took me 4 study sessions to memorize each system. I made flash cards or studied my blanked-out lab manual (with the labels covered) at every possible moment. Preferably at least 30...
  11. Taking A & P I again...any advice?

    When I took it, the lab portion was almost all memorization. Is that what you're having trouble with? For me the trick to memorization is all of those classic techniques of mnemonics and acronyms and...
  12. Resume Help Please!!!

    Is there a public library near you? I suggest calling them and finding out when/if they hold free resume help. Often, you can just go in and a reference librarian will help you format and correct...
  13. What to do with this empty bank account?

    1)Have you filled out the FAFSA for the current school year? 2)Do you qualify for the Stafford Loan (you find this out by filling out the FAFSA? 3)Do you have a credit card? 4)Can you apply for a...
  14. LPN or RN + rant

    To keep your cost down, you'll want either a community college ADN or a Bachelor's program in your home state. None of the BSN programs I've looked into require a CNA. However, since they are BSN...
  15. OU Nursing vs. UMich Nursing

    What are your goals? Are you planning on going to school after you get your BSN? Where do you want to work when you're done with school? In theory, you can get the same job and pay if you get your RN...
  16. RN Prereqs

    My local CC requires: (Basics) Anatomy, Math, Psychology, Health Living, CPR, Writing (the rest give you higher priority for admission) Physiology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Human Growth and...
  17. LPN or RN + rant

    What area(s) of the country do you want to go to school
  18. Exactly my strategy with my online Psych
  19. LPN or RN + rant

    I don't see why not go for the Paramedic first. After you start working, you could knock out all the nursing prereqs during the year after you graduate. Then apply to an "advanced standing"...
  20. Michigan State ADN-BSN?

    Just yesterday I figured out that UM-Flint and UM are actually different schools. D'uh
  21. MSU BSN and ABSN

    Thanks, PocketNurse, I think I now see the part of the website you're referring to. I guess I was looking for confirmation. I won't be applying until next fall, but I'm setting up my schedule to try...
  22. After talking with some other students at my CC, they said doing full time work, volunteering 10 hrs/week, and taking the three classes I'm signed up for shouldn't be any more difficult for me than...
  23. I'm starting to feel like I will take the ADN or BSN program depending entirely on who first accepts
  24. Happy, Nervous and Burnt out

    I agree with itsmejuli. Unless there's some kind of scholarship you need to use up next semester or are planning a two-month vacation in europe for fall, I would definitely take a&p2 next semester...
  25. Doubting Myself

    I think that taking classes has made me more aware of my body in a good way. One of the things I like about class and volunteering in a hospital is being able to talk to other people when I ~am~...
