  1. Biology Prerequisites

    Saysfaa replied to Clever Username's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which is harder is more dependent on the prof than the class. Also on what kind of material is easier for

  2. Biology Prerequisites

    Saysfaa replied to Clever Username's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I asked this exact question of various profs, adviors and students who had taken the classes (my school also offer anatomy and physiology seperately). The answer was don't take physiology without...

  3. Anatomy before Chemistry?

    Saysfaa replied to ktran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have a good plan. There is no chemistry in Anatomy. Perhaps your advisor is confusing Anatomy with A&P. The math in chemistry is not college algebra. It is fractions and conversions, adding,...

  4. Genetic Testing is an ethical issue?

    Saysfaa replied to Miley22's topic in General Students

    Screening can also take place in the school environment, particularly for learning disabilities such as fragile-X syndrome. This kind of screening is particularly difficult to justify in terms of the...

  5. Last minute advice and tips

    Saysfaa replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For example, if it is usually understanding the concepts fairly well but not sure what the question asked vs mixing up similar terminology. Different patterns have different remedies. The basics...

  6. Last minute advice and tips

    Saysfaa replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a pattern to what you miss on tests? I mean what kinds of

  7. I'm a little confused

    Saysfaa replied to futurestudent11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do they get many who haven't do the "guarenteed track Admission" where you take English, Math, A&P 1 and 11, Gen Psyc, Human Dev, and humanities elective? (very nice feature by the way, at least...

  8. Distraught college kid

    Saysfaa replied to devonbrower's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools count only the latest take of the class, do not care how many times you retake it, and do not freak out over a "w," and as long as the overall gpa is over a 2.5, do not care what it is....

  9. My situation, what should I do? :(

    Saysfaa replied to Band's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BSN programs require more gen ed classes than CC programs, so you could fill the year taking those if you think you might want to bridge to a BSN later. Although, in some schools that wouldn't...

  10. Ground rules for group projects?

    Saysfaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm trying to make group projects less frustrating. I thought if everyone is on the same page to start with, it would help. Some will have more than one answer... it is just a place to start and...

  11. finding schools - application due dates and prereqs

    Saysfaa replied to corykatt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't pay for it mostly because I wouldn't trust the accuracy. I've made charts like this of the schools in my area, and often find what you did - the info is scattered, incomplete, and changes...

  12. What prereq coures should I try to not overlap in a semester

    Saysfaa replied to mike0930's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with FL husker. Maybe better to take either Nutrition or Psych to the fall rather than both over the summer.... maybe see which makes the better schedule (by hours or by preferred profs) or...

  13. How can I get into a university for nursing?

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both paths start out the same way, so you don't have to decide now. If I were you, I would take whatever math you place into and the PHCC equivelent of Biology I over the summer. You will need them...

  14. How to survive Algebra and how to learn it before taking the college placement test?

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the other posters about placing into right level rather than trying stretching/cramming to place as high as you can. However, sometimes it is a simple thing to solidify a minor weak spot...

  15. Nursing Advice PLEASE!

    Saysfaa replied to mikixmouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know anything about either school but I've been reading the posts on allnurses about getting into California schools of nursing so tend to believe the *extremely difficult to change* I'd would...

  16. How can I get into a university for nursing?

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I keep asking that same question of everyone from college advisors to current nurses and anyone else I think might know. Best I can tell, there is as many nursing classes in one as in the other...

  17. How can I get into a university for nursing?

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sort of. It isn't quite that simple because different BSN programs have different prereq lists and different admission criteria for their nursing programs - which are always??? different than the...

  18. Did you need a stethoscope when taking the class?

    Saysfaa replied to can'tdecide's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I needed one. The CNA class didn't require it but it it took me a lot more practice than I could get in the half hour or so that we spent taking turns practicing taking vital signs in class. I...

  19. Pre-nursing students: What is your course/credit load?

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine has varied a lot in all the areas you mentioned. Credits from 3 to 17, work from 0 to 35 hours per week, no relationship to married with four kids (at home), no commute to a 50 min. commute....

  20. Taking Anatomy and Physiology 1 in the summer?

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked up your school. I was suprised that they don't have the summer classes out yet and that I couldn't find a way to look at last year's summer classes. I did find a calendar and confirmed that...

  21. Any good ideas for an ethical issue paper?

    Saysfaa replied to Miley22's topic in General Students

    Look along the shelves around R 724 . J69 of your school's library. The tables of contents of the books and journals there should give you a sense of the current issues in medical ethics (not nursing...

  22. Financially , would it be smart for me to do LPN first...RN? Considering finance aid?

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take the extra time and get an ADN. RNs make more than LPNs and in most areas have many more employment options. And having a degree tends to mess up financial aid grants.... although you should...

  23. Balancing family and career?! CONFUSED and paranoid and wanting to get my RN but ...

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Students

    You would be better off taking the extra year so you can spread the classes out and allow yourself a better chance of success in them. I do realize how much you want to go faster but 13 credits over...

  24. Is studying OLD editions of Nursing books a more hurtful than helpful?

    Saysfaa replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would graciously thank grandma but use more recent books. Either buy some from the list for next fall or check out libraries. Some things don't change but too much does change and you won't know...

  25. They're Their and There

    Saysfaa replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    I liked the owl site but it didn't cover "Let's"... that is a contraction of "let us." I had to google it, I am not a grammar or a punctuation nazi but my daughter is. I've been trying to fix some...
