  1. Biology 100 2012

    Saysfaa replied to Nursing0929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine is 16 week class so we should finish up about the same time. We didn't do measurments at all. We started with very basic chemistry. We are currently finishing up cell division and getting further...

  2. Retaking Anatomy

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

    A&P won't stand in for anatomy because A&P will cover the anatomy and the physiology of only some of the body systems and not cover others at

  3. Biology 100 2012

    Saysfaa replied to Nursing0929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    oops, sorry. I'm taking it (general biology) now. I'm not liking it very much. I do really like watching the choloplasts move around in the pond weed cells, though. I'm half way through a hybrid...

  4. Two Failed Anatomy Tests :,(

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

    If your school has an anatomy or a science lab, make a point of going in regularly to play with the models... don't just look at them, take them apart and put them back together multiple times as you...

  5. Online Anatomy Class, am I crazy?

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

    Anatomy is a very fast paced class even over a full semester so if you are taking it over the summer you won't have flexibility in pace no matter how you take

  6. W on my transcript or a failing grade?

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

    If I was very sure I will finish my degree at that university and/or if I was fairly sure and know they really don't like Ws then I'd go with the failing grade and still try to get the C. Otherwise...

  7. Biology 100

  8. Biology 100 2012

    Saysfaa replied to Nursing0929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is a good idea but you might want to reword the title of the thread. Biology 100 at my school is general biology rather than

  9. Not doing so hot what should I do about my classes.

    Saysfaa replied to kaysmom2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. Will the program look at my w's when I apply? 2. Is it better to stay in a course (even though it will affect my gpa) retake it again next semester to keep from getting a withdrawal on my...

  10. Have you taken a BLS class?? or CPR??

    Saysfaa replied to missie1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with IEDave... that is how it is here also (not Kalifornia). You might look around for other places giving the BLS class - sometimes the Red Cross offers them or hospitals or private companies...

  11. Which road to take?

    Saysfaa replied to Chelsea.ann1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Around here medical assistants basically pass out meds and not much else. One gets much more patient contact as a cna or nurse tech which tends to be a cna working in a hospital or rehab center. A...

  12. Microbiology: first exam. not so hot. :(

    Saysfaa replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To answer your questions.... the rule of thumb for all college classes (not just the hard sciences) is two hours of study time outside of class per credit hour. I'm assuming each of your classes is a...

  13. Is anyone else in this boat? (and has anyone gotten out of it?)

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

    My school doesn't care how close to the bare minimum the overall gpa is or how often you've retaken classes. (That sounds like a mediocre school as I write this but it isn't.... it has a very, very...

  14. Online courses for Psychology, Sociology, (maybe Speech?)

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

    I took speech as an online class. How it works is you get assignments from the book, take tests, participate in class discussion, and submit various preliminary work like topic choice and outline all...

  15. Good reasons for re-taking a course. Any suggestions?

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

    If your purpose is to learn the material, you can probably audit the

  16. CLEP or AP Exams for Pre-Nursing Student......?

    Saysfaa replied to Kendel.G's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school is different. Of the schools I've looked into extensively in this area: one allows an unlimited number of those they accept but their list is somewhat limited, another doesn't have a list...

  17. I found another way to get my foot in the Health care door

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

    Yes, you can take the certification test after the similar program here. But you can also take it without having taken the

  18. I found another way to get my foot in the Health care door

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

    Another thing to check is whether the employers in your area care whether you have the course or not. Sometimes schools offer it because students are willing to do it but employers don't...

  19. I really need some advice......may be in trouble

    Saysfaa replied to hlr2752's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school that wants the algebra probably needs the algebra to be college algebra. Algebra taken in high school won't do unless you actually got college credit at the time. In one state I've lived...

  20. I could really use some advice and opinions

    Saysfaa replied to mandie77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you tripled your gpa in a year... from .8 at the first school to 2.4 at the end of LPN school, with some B's at the LPN school... I think you could have a reasonable gpa by the time your are done...

  21. Anatomy and Physiology I

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

    "It was taking me HOURS to write notes and I find them useless really. I feel better just highlighting the important parts..." Don't waste your time doing what doesn't work for you. However, you...

  22. Advice Please!!!

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

    I'd look for a different one, if they are this inconsiderate/incompetent about these things it is too likely they will be so about other things. This is not how they are all

  23. A&P 1

    Saysfaa replied to keeithh01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are not learning the chapters for that little quiz. You are learning it so that your nursing classes will make sense (and/or so you don't have to learn it later - esp as nursing classes are also...

  24. Repeats???!!!!! Help!!!

    Saysfaa replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking prereqs at two schools. At one, it would be irrelevent because they look at only the last time you take the class. At the other, it would be relevent because they average all classes ever...

  25. are nutrients only absorbed in the small intestine?

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

    What exactly did you ask the professors? That might account for the different things from different professors, especially if you worded it differently to different profs. Not all nutrients are...
