  1. I pay for these classes and these people won't shut up

    moma8gma1 replied to happy2learn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Catch them before class, or the next time it happens, turn around and in a nice tone say this: "I'm sure you guys probably don't realize that your conversation is loud enough to distract others, but...

  2. Losing my superpowers

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

    I, too, am feeling a bit defeated. I'm hanging onto my B in A&PI but I can sense it slipping away (I know I did poorly on our muscles exam -- still waiting to get our scores, but when you have...

  3. Nursing School- talk me down from the ledge :P!

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

    Is there any way you can move closer to the campus to cut down on that commute? I'm not even in a nursing program, yet but this is what I'm moving forward with, and maybe it will help you: keep...

  4. Late career choice @ 35

    moma8gma1 replied to blessed_2Bhere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeay! So glad you've been inspired; the posters on this board inspire me, too! A piece of advice I wish someone had given to me when I started in college: take a Study Skills class. It really taught...

  5. is a change to a nursing career even an option?

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

    I thought I'd edited my post, but apparently it didn't "take." I meant to say: "since your vision is fine in your other eye"... and I'd worded the first paragraph more coherently. Sorry my edit was...

  6. Switching career to nursing - how to get started?

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

    Great advice here on the board! The only other thing I can add is to make an appt. with a counselor at a school that has nursing programs. Bring a copy of your transcript, explain your goal, and see...

  7. ugh! bone overload!!!

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

    Mnemonics!!! VERY helpful with the bones! Look some mnemonics up on the internet. ("She's too pretty, try to catch her." And the x-rated ones my classmates found were easier to remember, too! ;-)...

  8. is a change to a nursing career even an option?

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

    I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm wondering if posting your question on a board where there are nurses (instead of us students) where it might elicit responses from those who can speak...

  9. Taking Anatomy and Physiology I this summer, should I be so nervous?

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

    Good luck to all of you motivated summer students! One bit of advice: get a candy bar-sized voice recorder to record the lectures. It might help the info "stick"

  10. What would you do if you were me?

    moma8gma1 replied to Britt7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And one more thing I neglected to add: if it was one of my posts that offended you, I'm SO sorry. I only want to help and encourage everyone here, and get encouragment and advice when I need it --...

  11. What would you do if you were me?

    moma8gma1 replied to Britt7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on deciding, and good luck to you, Britt7! :) I hope it all works out well for you and your daughter. I really respect that you want, and are willing to work hard for, a good future for you...

  12. Late career choice @ 35

    moma8gma1 replied to blessed_2Bhere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "So, I withdrew, very much in shock and awe. I felt like I had been chewed up and spit out. This program does not want you to succeed. They just took my money and I left. Oh I did get some of it back....

  13. What would you do if you were me?

    moma8gma1 replied to Britt7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Thanks for all the input. Just to answer a few questions....my GPA from my bachelor's degree is what disqualifies me from many colleges in my area and in the country, really. :uhoh21:(I was too...

  14. Taking Anatomy and Physiology I this summer, should I be so nervous?

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

    If you don't have too heavy a load currently, you can make things a LOT easier on yourself this summer by getting a head start on your A&P now. Can you find out what text book you'll be using and...

  15. Curious to know

    moma8gma1 replied to kb514's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My experience: I haven't taken the TEAS, yet, but regarding Chemistry: I didn't prepare at all. I'd already had all of the math in my 30's. Last year at 46 I just took Chem and jumped in. It was...

  16. What would you do if you were me?

    moma8gma1 replied to Britt7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could never leave my child. That first year or so of brain growth is INCREDIBLE and nobody is going to interact with your child (and be COMPLETELY delighted/smitten by her smiles and respond like...

  17. Late career choice @ 35

    moma8gma1 replied to blessed_2Bhere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After being at home for almost 25 years, raising 8 children, I am finishing up my prereq's at 47. I know I'll be in my 50's by the time I'm a nurse, but I'll be in my 50's in a few years, anyway...

  18. Losing my superpowers

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

    Those of us who slay the A&P 1 dragon (or 2, or Micro or Chem...) deserve it! Celebrate your victories, sister pre-nursing students!!! This is a challenging road, and we ALL benefit from...

  19. Losing my superpowers

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

    Well, here is something the other gals in my study group and I have planned: a celebratory dinner party at the conclusion of the course! If any of us drops, that person can't go to the party. It's...

  20. I hope i make it through these pre- reqs

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

    Yes! That was me -- fresh out of high school, heart not in it at all. I got a C in Micro my first semester in college. I was living on my own for the first time, (and dealing with roommates),...

  21. I hope i make it through these pre- reqs

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

    The best thing I ever did was take a simple 1-unit Study Skills class years ago. (I took it because it was an easy way to get a credit -- was self-paced using workbook and videos.) After that class,...

  22. Low GPA

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

    I, too, thought in the end the program only cared about what grades you received on the science pre-req's. I'd make an appt. to speak with the program's administrators or counselors to see where you...

  23. Mailbox Surprise...

    moma8gma1 replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YEAY!!! CONGRATS to both of you! SO exciting! Fun to imagine you screaming and running to your neighbor, too! (Thanks for the visual!) I hope most of the rest of us will follow.

  24. Losing my superpowers

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

    I'm feeling the same -- kinda losing steam... Trying to "get happy" again,

  25. cheating classmates!

    moma8gma1 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any of you encountered cheating classmates in your pre-req classes? There were cheaters in my Chem class, and now in my A&P class. REALLY angers me! I reported them to the instructor....
