  1. Advice on how to beat procrastination.

    mangopeach replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about anyone else, I can cram for most classes, but thats not something that I can do with Science and I doubt most people can. Once you start those classes and realize how much material...

  2. Going for ADN - take BSN courses now or later?

    mangopeach replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can fit them into your schedule, I'd take them now. That way, you'll have less to complete when you get your ADN. Thats pretty much what I did. I plan to go for the NP program so I've been...

  3. Georgia Perimeter Application for spring 2011

    mangopeach replied to an2on's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied for Spring. The letter I received after my TEAS said that decisions will be sent out by Sep 30th. You might hear something before that but I doubt it since they are still testing. I know...

  4. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

    mangopeach replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sucks. I had to take A&P again as well. Took it 10 years ago for my paralegal degree. But I'm glad I took it again because this time around it was far more detailed. My para program just...

  5. Anatomy and Physiology distinctions.. together? separate?

    mangopeach replied to pennyep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats pretty much how we do it at my school. Except we started A&P II at Ch 23! and jumped around all over the place. Made no sense:uhoh3: I think I would have liked to do Anatomy separately from...

  6. Has anyone taken biol 224 and 251 during a summer semester?

    mangopeach replied to Januaryblue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its doable. Just completed my 8 week A&P II - Personally If I had to do it all over again, I would choose not to. I made As in A&P I for lab and lecture. Bs for A&P II lab and lecture. I...

  7. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

    mangopeach replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Looks like I was a bit too over confident about my lecture final. Thought I aced it and got an A but I got a B. Well on the bright side, I also got a B for my lab final. I was worried it was going to...

    mangopeach replied to jeanette_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Least favorite pre-req: Political Science

    mangopeach replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved Pol Sci- That was an easy A for me. Honestly didn't even study for that class. Our prof was great though, he made the class interesting and fun. I took it during the 08 election so we had a...

  10. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

    mangopeach replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Anne, don't give up! I know how you feel though. I was extremely frustrated with lab. Our prof was like that too, asked a lot of physio questions for the midterm. I was not prepared for that. Then...

  11. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

    mangopeach replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Took my final for lecture today. Whew, it went better than I expected. Much better than my lab final. I think I'll make an A in lecture but I'm not sure about lab. In fact I doubt it unless he curves...

    I've had a lot of setbacks in my life but I was never ever this hopeless and

  13. Struggles with finding a nursing job....

    mangopeach replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry you feel that way. My plans have not and will not change. As others have said, the economy sucks for everyone. I'm not worried. This is my 2nd career, It took a while to get my first job as a...

  14. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

    mangopeach replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think its hard at all. Its just a lot of material and you have to put in the time to learn it. If you put in the time, its not difficult material to grasp. But its not the kind of thing that...

  15. A&P I ......3x!?!?!?

    mangopeach replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Contact the schools you are interested in.At my school, repeated courses may count against you. Not that you can't get in, but weighing your transcript against someone else that did not repeat the...

  16. Help! Having to take COMPASS Math placement test

    mangopeach replied to S. Braden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't sweat it too much. I don't know if your school does what mine does, but they use the Compass to place you in the appropriate level of Math - so its a good thing, even if you don't pass the...

  17. Fail the teas need HELP!!

    mangopeach replied to Femlatina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you remember any of the questions that you struggled with? Was it Biology? Chemistry? Earth Science? - My test was all over the place. I'd suggest that you brush up on basic concepts in the...

  18. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

    mangopeach replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have more stupid histology drawings to do. Ugh! Good thing that its only 10% of my grade this time instead of 15% like last semester. I suck at

  19. College Algebra or Equivalent?

    mangopeach replied to *Muffin*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with your school. I took Math Modeling - which I was told was the better option for nursing majors- Math modeling is under the umbrella of Finite Math. I did not find it easier than College...

    Congratulations!!!

  21. question!

    mangopeach replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't forget the fees. Most schools have other fees besides tuition. So if the tuition is 1000, there will be additional charges for miscellaneous fees. Administrative fees, Lab fees, technology fees,...

  22. question!

    mangopeach replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't get enough to cover all that. I never said that. That is not the point I am trying to make here. I was trying to explain to the OP, why she would be getting a refund. Cost of living and...

  23. question!

    mangopeach replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes you will get a refund. But remember that Financial Aid does not only apply to tuition and books. And books can be pretty expensive so if 1500 is tuition - depending on how many classes you are...

  24. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

    mangopeach replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand Anne. My dad is coming this week too for business. He was here 2 weeks ago and it was really a distraction for me. I'm glad that its at least after I take my TEAS tomorrow. But I still...

    mangopeach replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I intended do PA before I settled on doing RN. One of the things my advisor used to tell us was in the interview, they often ask how you plan to support yourself during school. She always told us...
