  1. Unwise to get married?

    Melanie19877 replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just wanted to throw my opinion in. I have been with my fiance' for 4.5 years. After about three I felt the "urge" to get engaged and start planning a wedding. I have always wanted a long engagement....

  2. past chem takers

    Melanie19877 replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! That's awesome! I too passed with a C and I am never happy with a C, but for this class I was! It was such a relief for

  3. Repeating a course, what are the chances the exams are going to be the same?

    Melanie19877 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My anatomy instructor uses basically all the same tests each semester. He has several different tests for each of his classes (micro, physio, genetics, anatomy) and they differ a little but not much....

  4. past chem takers

    Melanie19877 replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry was extremely hard for me. I barely passed the class and ended with a C. The only thing to do is retake it if you don't pass it. Try not to stress over it. It's just one class. Study more. I...

  5. please give me motivation

    Melanie19877 replied to supaflyz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I attend NSUS in LA. Our school only does our GPA by our core classes. Meaning anything that doesn't count towards our degree doesn't count towards our GPA. We do not have to do community service but...

  6. Nutrition Summer 2010

    Melanie19877 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished this class. I found it extremely boring, and I love nutrition! The end of our book was a little more interesting but not much. It was an easy A for me. Keep up with the text and...

  7. How are you celebrating the end of Spring finals?

    Melanie19877 replied to letsseehere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just finished my semester last night. Not 100% happy with my first semesters grades but I know what I need to do to change that from now on. I have a week off before starting summer classes. Tonight I...

  8. NP vs. PA

    Melanie19877 replied to Den1978's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really just depends on what side you want to work on. NP is more on the nursing side and PA is more or the doctor side. I'm going to go for NP once I get my BSN. You can have your own...

  9. Is it better to take microbiology after anatomy and physiology?

    Melanie19877 replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter what order you take them unless your school requires it. (Which it sounds like your's does not) Anatomy may help a little with understanding phys but everything should be right...

  10. What does it take to be a CNA?

    Melanie19877 replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like some others said there are some places you have to pay up to 1000 dollars and others that will train you or pay for you to be trained. I did my CNA classes in highschool. My license has expired....

  11. High debt but want to change careers

    Melanie19877 replied to mmoton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that the debt will be there regardless... so why not do something that makes you happy and possibly makes you more money. I'm taking prereq's right now and I'm working. When I get into...

  12. First day of CNA Clinicals!

    Melanie19877 replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad you enjoyed your first day! I took the classes to become a CNA in highschool. I was so nervous my first day. I thought I was going to hurt someone or be completely grossed out, but my experience...

  13. A and P Drama

    Melanie19877 replied to Niki_lccc_Stluke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be so hard on yourself. If you look around on this site and possibly look around on google you can find things that can help you. Do you know how you learn? Are you a hands on person or a person...

  14. Have a BS in Biology now - what's next? ASN or BSN? HELP!

    Melanie19877 replied to Guest405338's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Above posts are correct. It basically depends on what you want to do with your degree. Are you going to further onto a masters? Is that even a small possibility? Def go for bachelor

  15. How many times did you have to take A & P to get your "A" grade?

    Melanie19877 replied to pipsi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't let anyone discourage you for wanting to go into this career. People with children do it all the time. Most of the people I socialize with at school have kids. This is one of the most rewarding...

  16. cheating classmates!

    Melanie19877 replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I heard this week that there were copies of tests flying around for my anatomy test. Someone even said to me "you didn't get a copy, I can make you a copy". I don't want a copy. Those people who have...

  17. I just got a 59% on my first Anatomy Exam....

    Melanie19877 replied to ZeroHour's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think someone has mentioned this but you have plenty of time to bring it up. How many tests do you have? I think our class has 3 or 4 and quizes every week that equals a test. Depending on how many...

  18. Major issues with Chemisry!!!

    Melanie19877 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking all of my prereq's for BSN degree. Chemistry happens to be one of them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to learn it a little better. (Any type of books, sparknotes, etc.) Any...

  19. Major issues with Chemisry!!!

    Melanie19877 replied to Melanie19877's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't given up. I really want to pass this class. When I said I didn't know what was giving me trouble..i just don't know what's it's called. I thought about dropping the class but we are...

  20. Major issues with Chemisry!!!

    Melanie19877 replied to Melanie19877's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't exactly know. I just cannot retain the information. I am hands on person and this class is just hard for me to understand without having anything hands

  21. Gum Chewing

    Melanie19877 replied to NinetyNine's topic in General Nursing

    I think it really depends on the area of the hospital you're in. If you're not working in a sterile or invasive environment. Go ahead. Just don't let everyone know you have

    Melanie19877 replied to The Bell Jar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now, this is just hear say, but at my university, online classes require much more book work. Our Anatomy class online is 16 weeks. They have 26 quizes 10 homework assignments and 4 tests. That's not...
