  1. Nutrition Class

    Saysfaa replied to smtha620's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on what area of nursing you will be in. Some use it very little, some use it quite extensively. It also depends on how you look at it.... you may never need to know what vitamin A does on...

  2. Failing at Comp 2

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

    I've been staring at my homework for 2 days. I've rewritten it about a hundred times. We're supposed to identify the thesis statement and evidence for the argument, but I swear there are 3 different...

  3. Bodies Exhibit....have you been?

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

    It came to a city near me. I was interested but did some research on it. The bodies come from China and I know too much about their record on human rights issues and on the other types of rights...

  4. Rough start.. Study tecniques?

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

    I do that too, except it doesn't matter what I write it out on. The act of writing it out works and the act of sorting out what is really important works even if I type it out. Number wouldn't work...

  5. Rough start.. Study tecniques?

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

    Start early, take care of yourself (get enough rest, eat right, exercise). Study when/where/how you think the most clearly. Give yourself cues that *this* is time to get serious. There are many...

  6. I am a nursing major and i want to minor in something

    Saysfaa replied to 3ponceboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take useful classes like micro- and macro-economics, basic accounting, technical writing, research writing, any class with a research component... or look up the common prereqs for masters...

  7. Feeling lost

    Saysfaa replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you can have both... keep the job you love and is the perfect fit for your situation and plan on doing nursing when your situation changes - as it will. That is what I did... worked and is...

  8. Retaking Anatomy at another college?

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

    Some schools replace grades rather than averaging them, at least for the certain list of pregram requirements. You probably want to check out which way the schools you are interested in do it. The...

  9. Information about nursing schools

    Saysfaa replied to tbrown234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only place I know of that has all the accredited schools, is the Nclex pass rates from the state nursing associations. It doesn't tell much beyond the pass rates but it is a place to start. I...

  10. Is it just me???

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

    Nope. Intro to psychology isn't much fun in this way either. Last week, the professor of my abnormal psych said the correct term for it is "med student

  11. Is this what it's all about?

    Saysfaa replied to Gilead86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "I saw a senile woman on a wheelchair who kept asking where she is and how she needs to go home, yet nobody offered her any help, consolation or assurance... heck didn't even speak to her!" I do. But...

  12. diversity application question

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

    They mean race and gbtl mostly and poverty, single parenthood, gender (male in this case because nursing is a female dominated profession), national origin (if it is something other than western...

  13. Vent! Difficult ex-group project member!

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

    I don't think you should feel very guilty - I think he has a point (sort of) but only one point out of many. I agree he should have been more proactive in quite a few ways - not the least of which is...

  14. What qualifies...

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

    I would ask the schools, I think some will think that qualifies and some

  15. Admissions Packet

    Saysfaa replied to snc0429's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about the school resume but you need to cut your essay down to 1/3 its length. Not only will they not read it all but they may not read any of it because sometimes they figure if the...

  16. Please help! I am kind of torn, nursing or sonography

    Saysfaa replied to dalman97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hm... 8 nursing to 1 sonograph... and how many nursing students graduate from nearby schools every year vs sonography graduates? Otherwise.... sonography isn't necessarily easier on the body. Less...

  17. Vent! Difficult ex-group project member!

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

    Did you keep the same group members other than him? And did the rest of the groups in your class keep the same members? If so, then he's got a

  18. What studying routine works for you?

    Saysfaa replied to Rayray13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I make "cheat sheets" I don't cheat with them but don't know what else to call them - I took the idea from a chemistry class that allowed us to take one of the tests with one 3 x 5 card of whatever we...

  19. Remembering Pleura vs. Peritoneum!

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

    It is not very fun but pleura has an "L" in it and goes with

  20. Need a reality check

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

    With a 3.9 gpa in Engineering, you have a vastly different scale than the people who find nursing school "insanely difficult". The drama is fairly normal. It is more than who is in the field and who...

  21. Taking Notes HELP!!!! Please? :)

    Saysfaa replied to steph0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Notes fromtextbook… focus on vocabulary words. I’ve discovered if Ithoroughly understand the vocabulary of any field, then I’ve got about 90% ofthe concepts. I do the thorough...

  22. Nursing vs. Rad. Technology

    Saysfaa replied to tiffany2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shadowing a rad techs in a few different settings would be a good place to start. Best advice I've gotten about it is to do at least ten hours per place (whatever type of career/job it is). I see...

  23. College Math

    Saysfaa replied to sdunn72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me. I found khan academy a very great help.... he explains things very, very well (especially the breaking things down so you can understand how they relate to other mathy things) and you can replay...

  24. Pre reqs for nursing !!! HELP

    Saysfaa replied to Agreen911's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Four years (9 terms), one more year to go. I deliberately took that long because I don't want to go full time until next year, in either nursing school or

  25. GPA worries

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

    We can't calculate it because we don't know how many credits are in your current gpa. You can calculate it: multiply the points earned in each class by the number of credits in that class - for each...
