That's not true. If you don't renew your Skyscape software after a year, you still can use it, just won't be able to get any updates.

This is my first semester in ADN program. We have 4 hours of lectures, 8 hours of labs/clinicals, plus 3 credit online pharm class. Next semester it will be 5 hours of lectures and12 hours of labs/clinicals next semester.

GCC, Genesee Community College, it is about 30 miles east from Buffalo.

Have you checked ECC and GCC? They both have LPN to ADN bridge programs.

According to my handouts: 1) Checking the meds against the MAR after taking them out of the drawer. 2) After doing the calculations, before you pour the meds into the cup. 3) Before returning the medication bottle to the drawer and walking away from the med cart.

I got an international edition of my A&P book from eBay, the only differences were a different cover and the price - only $84 comparing to $215 for a book from the college bookstore.

Our A&P I professor was fine with students using previous edition textbook. As she said, nothing had changed in human anatomy since last year...

My A&P book is an international edition. It is absolutely the same as the US edition, including access code to the site. The only differences were the pictures on the cover and the price!

Anatomy was fairly easy for me. All you have to do is just memorization :) If you have a good memory, Anatomy should not be too hard to study.

Don't worry, you will be fine. Your "problems" are not problems at all. 1. Your age is not a problem at all. There are many people in my NS who are in their 40s and 50. 2. I moved to the US less than 10 years ago, and I do have an accent. But I am not the only one person in my class who was born abroad, later moved to the US, and speaks with accent. 3. Many of my classmates have kids, some of them are single moms. 4. I went straight to an RN program, but some of my classmates become CNAs or LPNs first. And by the way, at least one of them is a non-native speaker and has two kids. So if you really want to become a nurse, you can do it like everyone else. Good luck :) Vse poluchitsya :)

Oh, I was about to ask the same question :) Also, I have another question. If you bring drinks from home, what is it, and what kind of container or cup or bottle do you use? I don't want to buy any unhealthy overpriced ice tea or soda from a vending machine.

Exactly :) I bought some of my books from Half.com, and if the description of the book said it would come with a CD, the book did come with a CD.

I would pick chicken. Peanut butter is too thick and too sweet, it sticks to your teeth and to your mouth. If there are any sores in your mouth, it is very very painful to eat a sticky food. So, I would say that chicken meat is a better choice.

In my school A&P has a prerequisite, you can't take A&P before you are done with bio. Also, it might be hard to learn anatomy and physiology if you are not familiar with the biology. The same is with chemistry, A&P requires you to have some knowledge of chemistry. So, I would recommend to take Bio and Chem first, and A&P and Microbiology after that. Math can be taken any time, but since some math is used in Chemistry, it would not be a bad idea to take Math before Chemistry.
