  1. I'm applying to ABSN programs but I never took an A&P lab!

    chicagoing replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely check with the admissions office. I just believe you gotta do what you gotta do to get to the end result you are seeking. So if the programs that you are interested in require a lab...

  2. I'm applying to ABSN programs but I never took an A&P lab!

    chicagoing replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This may be a silly question, but why not enroll in a community college A&P course with a lab

  3. Resurrection University vs St. Xavier

    chicagoing replied to galenanurse's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Undergraduate Nursing School of Nursing Admission Requirements Students admitted to the University as pre-clinical nursing majors must comply with the School of Nursing admission requirements in order...

  4. Pre-Nursing Classes

    chicagoing replied to CASM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pre-reqs: one semester chemistry (either general, or college-specific "Contemporary") and anatomy and physiology

  5. What should I do?

    chicagoing replied to jballa34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the OP's response was appropriate. Jballa has presented him/herself maturely in this thread, and it seems to me that Jballa's response was tinged with exasperation, but not immaturity. I would...

  6. Get the question right and lose a point!!

    chicagoing replied to cutenurse2b_1's topic in General Students

    I understand your frustration, and yes, one point can make a difference. However, if the question covered material that had not yet been presented, I can see why it would be thrown out in order to...

  7. nursin school/vent

    chicagoing replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    You'll find stress everywhere you go. If I were you, I'd take a good look at myself and figure out what it is you can change from within so you don't go down the same path later on in xyz

  8. instructor may be racist?

    chicagoing replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    What has she said or done that would make you believe she is a racist? Lack of patience with a self-proclaimed "spastic goofball" who tries to make the class laugh doesn't sound racist to me. If you...

  9. Physiology Vent

    chicagoing replied to princsheather's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Retarded"? Would it be possible to approach the "geniuses" to find out what they are doing to get those

  10. instructor is out to get me

    chicagoing replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

    If you feel as though the instructor is "out to get" you, then document any and all instances in which you were treated unfairly. Unfortunately, claims of being "blind-sided" by an instructor,...

  11. instructor is out to get me

    chicagoing replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't approach either instructor again regarding this situation. Any further discussion/complaints/vocalized frustrations on your part will only add fuel to the

  12. clinical prof, too strict

    chicagoing replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    If a student doesn't "get along" with her instructor, said student should put on her big girl panties! (The same goes for

  13. College refused to refund my fees

    chicagoing replied to Dream Girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It does seem odd that they refused to refund your tuition fees, even though you were eligible for a full refund. I read the following on their refund procedure page: Refunds are not automatic. All...

  14. Can A&P plus working a full time job work for me?!

    chicagoing replied to cmbrown06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is definitely doable. I took A&P I the for the first time many years ago when I was also working full-time (on my feet, carrying heavy material, walking at least 7 miles every day). I studied...

  15. Do you need to take the exact class?

    chicagoing replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've taken on-line (internet) classes as well, and when checking my transcript, there is no differentiation between the online and traditional

  16. Do you need to take the exact class?

    chicagoing replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd definitely check with the admissions office. It doesn't seem as though lifespan psychology can have acceptable substitutions (child psych, abnormal psych, etc.). However, I can say that the...

  17. Anyone else taking A&P 1 this fall? Study group?

    chicagoing replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I received an 86/100 on the lecture exam and 50/50 on the lab practical. Our lecture exam grades were curved. I know that I need to study more (a 2 night review won't cut it). But I am not

    Hi, would anyone mind sharing how many total semester hours your "overall GPA"

  19. How competitive are CC's?

    chicagoing replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My question was directed at

  20. How competitive are CC's?

    chicagoing replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How does one define "smartness"? I am not trying to be facetious, but am genuinely

  21. Should I pursue nursing?

    chicagoing replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think anyone's ignoring the fact that at some schools, pre-reqs are the same for both nursing and medicine. However, the OP stated that he is interested in medicine first and foremost. When...

  22. Should I pursue nursing?

    chicagoing replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read and re-read your post twice, and didn't see any mention of your desire to actually be a nurse (unless it is lumped in with "multiple factors" and "other considerations"). If nursing interests...

  23. Anyone else taking A&P 1 this fall? Study group?

    chicagoing replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks. Our class has not covered the definition of pathological anatomy. As for saying it nicely..if all you are doing is making a factual correction, then I see your comment as being neutral with a...

    chicagoing replied to frogkicker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a reason why you would need to retake the 3 classes at the same time? Why not break it up: retake psychology and Western civ. together and then math (or vice versa). If there is a deadline, I...
