  2. Which pre-nursing classes did you find the most useful?

    math for meds hands down. I wouldn't retake anything else. although I did because they were easy A's at my "nursing" school and I had c's at my division I university. trust me. You can make it without...

    3.5 oz of chicken is nothing. It's literally the size probably of the palm of your hand. that's all i have to add cause I'm curious to know whether it's c or d.

  9. Atlanta Medical Center

  10. Mean nursing instructors

    I'm sorry. I don't see anything wrong with what the instructor did. Instructor's have the right to give a make up exam in any format - at least at my school they do. They typically don't, but they...

  15. How to keep the balance?

    I typically do what KeeperMom does. I'm visual/tactile as well except for I hate flashcards and go with the "magic notebook" idea. Any reading, powerpoints (I re-write them in my own handwriting),...

  17. How to keep the balance?

    My question would be what are you taking and HOW are you studying? My guess is that you are studying wrong for whatever you are
  18. ok. I might be out of the norm here. But nursing is not the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. With that being said, I do find it difficult. NOT because of the work, it's because of the PACE....
