  1. Micro or AP1.... WWYD?

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

    It sounds like a differently-structured program. Look at the other classes she has listed that they expect her to take at the same time: "college math", psychology, etc... stuff that was part of my...

  2. just looking for a little encouragement :(

    moma8gma1 replied to naenae1979's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kudos to you for jumping in! Now you know what the TEAS is like. I recommend buying a TEAS study guide -- there are several out there, and some of them allow you to test yourself a few times....

  3. Micro or AP1.... WWYD?

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

    I vote for taking Micro over the summer. Like everyone has said, A&P involves a LOT of memorization. Best to give yourself time during a semester instead of trying to cram it all into your head...

  4. cheating classmates!

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

    To those of you who are blowing this off: Academic dishonesty isn't something ANY worthwhile educational institution tolerates. At all. And further, NO instructor wants their name behind a student...

  5. Still Seeking Advice on route to take

    moma8gma1 replied to bigdreamsstartinSF's topic in General Students

    I may be wrong, but my perception is that you'd have a better chance of getting into a program that is tailored to those who already have a Bachelor's degree. You'd still need the science prereq's at...

  7. cheating classmates!

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

    I agree with CaffeineRX -- an e-mail alerting the prof to the situation sounds like the way to

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

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

    Our prof kinda warned us the same after we were smarting from the first exam, but encouraged us with this memory from his past: he had an older woman in the class who absolutely tanked on the first...

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

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

    Great advice from so many who've gone before you! The first test is sometimes a throwaway, because you are getting used to your teacher's style. Now that you know, it's all on you -- you now have a...

  10. cheating classmates!

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

    I agree with CaffeineRX: well said, Paco! :) I, too, love learning, and at 47, I don't have time to waste. I'm serious about my studies, and I'm happy to help my fellow classmates as we figure this...

  11. Have you ever cheated?

    moma8gma1 replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    Whoa. Kinda

  12. What would you do?

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

    Nice to have this dilemma solved for you, in a way, eh? My own outlook: God has a plan -- just be as available/ready for all the possibilities He has for you. :) Can't go wrong if you're in line...

  13. cheating classmates!

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

    "I'd rather just let it be. I know what I have to do and I don't butt into other folks lives." But their cheating, possibly resulting in affecting the grading curve, may butt into YOUR life with a...

  14. cheating classmates!

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

    I disagree. I think this must be precisely how some ditsy nurses became nurses. (Ever have one of those?) I do not police my classmates, but if I notice cheating, I will notify the instructor as...

  15. cheating classmates!

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

    Not talking about homework at all. It is smart to get/give help with homework. I'm talking exclusively about

  16. cheating classmates!

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

    Yes, during quizzes and exams. One woman in my Chem class wrote down formulas and stuff on her desk in pencil before the exam started. Another classmate told the prof about it after class and he...

  17. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    moma8gma1 replied to studentdan's topic in General Nursing

    Typos are not necessarily indicative of a bad speller. This is my latest rant: cheaters! Someone who cheats his/her way into/through nursing school will cost lives! I'm a pre-nursing major and...

  18. Am I to old to complete this?

    moma8gma1 replied to Sandpit3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be 48 this semester and have just one more class next semester left to take before my prereq's are finished. There is a 52 yo woman in my A&P1 class in the same boat, too. She told me it's...

  19. What would you do?

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

    People leave jobs after just a year (or less) all the time and for a variety of reasons. I wouldn't let that alone stop you from applying for the job. I WOULD be concerned, though, about getting...

  20. I'm so dissapointed in myself; not doing great in Chemistry

    moma8gma1 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was my experience that many of the students in my Chem class were doing really well because that was the 2nd time they'd taken the class! Yes, talk to the teacher. Also, if there is a Chem helps...

  21. Abortion in nursing school rotations?

    moma8gma1 replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    Regarding taking pictures of stillborn babies: A friend of mine lost her first child during a home birth. She told me the umbilical cord was wrapped around her son's neck and he died during the...
