  1. A&P 1 Spring 2010

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

    I can't believe the number of people that have dropped out of my A&P class. We had a full class of almost 40 students and now we are down to almost

  2. A&P 1 Spring 2010

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

    I had my mid term lab practical today. We don't get our grades back until Wednesday but I think I did really well. Thats a big chunk of my final grade so I'm happy that it went well for me. No rest...

  3. I just got a 60 on my first AP! lab practical, which was bones.... How do you study?

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

    My lab prof gave us our bones list on the first day of class. She told us to get a jump start learning them on our own even though we would not get to the skeletal system for a few weeks. So glad she...

  4. Finally applied

    mangopeach replied to yooper13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have a spare room to do it, get a room mate. Also look into local scholarships. Sometimes they are for very small amounts, but if you get them, they really do help. Even if its $50 here or $100...

  5. Anyone applying in 2011

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

    I'm applying for Spring 2011. I'm feeling good. I just need to finish A&P and then I can submit my application. My school just changed its policy for taking the TEAS to invitation only. So first...

  6. Online Pre Reqs?

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

    I don't live in San Diego, but have you checked to see if the local colleges offer online classes? Also make sure that the schools you plan to apply to will accept credits from wherever you plan to...

  7. A&P 1 Spring 2010

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

    Teapot, just keep studying. If you feel you've mastered this section, move on to the next. You don't have to wait for the Prof and the rest of the class. This might actually be an advantage for you....

  8. Wonderlic?

    mangopeach replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An IQ test to play football? Geez,

    mangopeach replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm only planning on applying to the school I currently attend where I'm finishing up my pre-reqs. My confidence is riding high that I will be accepted. I have As in almost everything, I just need to...

  10. A&P 1 Spring 2010

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

    No problem Cassie, his illustrations were a big help to me, hopefully they help you as much. Yes, I agree those tutorials on youtube are great. They have been a big part of my study strategy. I'm a...

  11. How many times did you have to take A & P to get your "A" grade?

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

    I do the same. There are some really great videos on Youtube. Berkeley has a full semester of A&P on youtube. The professor is great. I pick up things from her that I may have missed in my own...

  12. How many times did you have to take A & P to get your "A" grade?

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

    I'm taking A&P now and the semester does not end until May but I'm an A average so far. I'm a career changer and I pretty much avoided science in high school and my first time around in college...

  13. If you had a choice between 2 year community, or a university....

    mangopeach replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not doubting that many schools require you to have a bachelors. That is why I said one should check with the programs they are interested in. The program I am interested in does not require you...

  14. If you had a choice between 2 year community, or a university....

    mangopeach replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is typical here too from what I've been told. The BSN only makes a big difference in salary later on in your career if you want to advance. In the early years, most places here that hire ADN and...

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

  16. Anyone volunteering at a hospital?

    mangopeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, is anyone volunteering? What do they have you do? I applied at 2 hospitals and have interviews coming up soon. I know every facility is different, just curious about some of the duties that...

  17. Anyone volunteering at a hospital?

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

    Thanks a bunch for all the replies! One of the hospitals had a check off list of preferences on their application,so I think I would have patient contact there. The other one did not so I'll just...

  18. Words of encouragement

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

    This is a great thread Jennybrie:starornament: I'd like to add one of my personal favorites "Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a...

  19. A&P Coloring Book

    mangopeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    is it worth it to get one? if you use/used one, how do you rate its usefulness? do you consider it a must have study aid? i'm doing great in a&p so far, but i'm always looking for stuff to...

  20. A&P 1 Spring 2010

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

    I have to draw too Remilekun. I suck at drawing. It freaked me out at first but now I'm ok with it. My drawings don't look as fantastic as some of my classmates but my prof is not looking for works of...

  21. cheating classmates!

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

    I'd leave them to fate. I think its almost impossible to cheat your way through pre-reqs,nursing entrance exam,nursing school and the NCLEX. Sooner or later its gonna bite them in the butt. I'd just...

  22. A&P Coloring Book

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

    Thats what is appealing to me. I like to switch up and do other things other than reading. These other things seem to be working for me so I'm always looking for something to enhance my studying. I...

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

    Perhaps a family meeting might be in order to get everyone on the same page? Now for school. Just breathe, I know its disappointing to not do well on your first exam, but you have time to recover....

  25. histology helps??

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

    I spent as much time as I could in open lab looking at them. As well as pics online and in the atlas. Learning the different features made it much more easier for me to recognize them and know where...
