  1. Need some advice concerning nursing school....

    SerenePeach replied to Icemand18's topic in General Nursing

    I think it may depend on your school, but at my school, I was allowed to take Micro and A & P at the same time. They don't really cover the same material, so I wouldn't think that one would be a...

  2. Need some advice concerning nursing school....

    SerenePeach replied to Icemand18's topic in General Nursing

    I think if you plan on taking Microbiology and A & P 1 at the same time, that you should plan on studying alot outside of class. I would recommend it if you're going to be devoted to studying and...

  4. Can you get an "accelerated" BSN from any school w/ a nursing program?

    SerenePeach replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on the school. I'm doing that for one of the programs I'm applying to - TWU. They don't offer the traditional accelerated program at the Houston location, so what I'm doing is...

  5. Time Management for Prerequisites

    SerenePeach replied to Myrrh924's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Sometimes I get overwhelmed too. I'm only taking 12 hours, but I work full time as well. I find that it helps to make small goals every day, and as others said, having a planner to keep track of...

  7. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SerenePeach replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bhanson, Thank you for your comments. Yes, he did give us the answers for the upcoming test which is helpful. What I don't find helpful is when I do try to go to him for help, he usually ends up...

  8. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SerenePeach replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sure. Just off the top of my head - "What is used to determine the total percentage of the body burned? a)cause of burn b)areas of burn c)rule of 9's d)type of burn e)ABCDE rule" Of course it's the...

  9. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SerenePeach replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if I don't use the answers, I am still getting cheated out of a real education. 60% of the study guide questions are not found in the book nor are they concepts we learn in class. I am having to...

  10. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SerenePeach replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my A & P class, the way the test works is for our review guide, our prof gives us about 150 multiple choice questions from each chapter to study for the test. He doesn't give us the answers....

  11. Order/Combination of classes

    SerenePeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Why the HURRY to Get into Nursing?

    SerenePeach replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm probably one of those hurriers you're referring to. The way I see it, the sooner I get done with my pre-reqs, the sooner I get into nursing school. The sooner I finish nursing school, the sooner I...

  13. Are you able to put away money for your retirement?

    SerenePeach replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    I think you're never too young to start saving for retirement! I'm only in my mid-twenties, and although I'm not yet a nurse, I am saving for retirement by putting money into my company's 401k. I make...

    SerenePeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated from college and got my bachelor's in Liberal Arts back in 2007. However, I have one F on my transcript, and it was the only class I was taking in my last semester. It was a Senior Thesis...

  15. Explaining an F on your transcript

    SerenePeach replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LLG, Thanks for your insightful and very helpful response. Believe me, I very much regret taking that F, and you're right, it was young, irresponsible and foolish. I wish I could go back and change...

  16. Explaining an F on your transcript

    SerenePeach replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the replies. I was looking at the threads for the schools I wanted to apply to in the Region forums of All Nurses. Many people stated that for interviews for a certain program, the...

    SerenePeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, Has anyone ever tested out of an introductory Computer Literacy class by taking the CLEP exam? The CLEP exam is actually called Information Systems and Computer Applications. If so, did you...

    SerenePeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently taking Intro to Psychology as a pre-req for a nursing program at the local community college, and there are quite the interesting people in my class. Most of them are very annoying to...

  19. UT Houston Summer 2010 Accelerated Program

    SerenePeach replied to LoveTexas's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have a question - How many of you had volunteer experience or outside activities? I plan to apply, but I don't have any extracurriculars since I work and go to school full time. I hope it doesn't...

  20. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    We haven't gotten to tissues or any real anatomy yet. This is our fourth week and we're still doing chapters 1-4 which is basically cellular chemistry and general

  21. Too late? The repecussions of bad decisions earlier in life

    SerenePeach replied to Ashaka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take the nursing pre-requisites over again (A & P, Micro, Chem, etc) to get a better GPA. Although you already have a bachelor's, lots of work experience and are taking the GRE, schools...

  22. Taking A & P without previous biology experience

    SerenePeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, Have any of you taken Anatomy & Physiology without previous biology experience? The reason I ask is that because at my community college, they "strongly recommend" taking an Introduction to...

  23. Taking A & P without previous biology experience

    SerenePeach replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all the replies! I think I will stay in A & P for now and prepare to study really hard. Lilago02, I'm taking my classes at HCC. I consider myself a really good student and I can learn...

  24. I'm a smidge guilty

    SerenePeach replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting financial stability. You shouldn't feel guilty about that. Realistically, to live an average, somewhat comfortable life, it is a little bit about the...

  25. Is there a Waitlist for Houston programs?

    SerenePeach posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello, I was wondering if you guys knew if the Houston-area programs had waitlists or not. I know Lonestar College is based on a point system. What about TWU, UTHSC, UH-Victoria or HCC? If you fulfill...
