    :ancong!:

  2. I Don't Know Where To Go From Here...

    KristeyK replied to Pyrai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get a tutor and retake the math portion of the tests. Also, I asked my advisor about the grades and the testing. Long story short, they want to see that you've put in the EFFORT, as being a nursing...

  3. Pima CC Tucson- is the amount of tuition different for nursing students?

    KristeyK replied to randy77's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Tuition is the same no matter what your major is. However, it's the fees that will cost

  4. I am a little bit concerned...

    KristeyK replied to aabdelhadi88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can tell you that the U of A is every bit as competitive as ASU. I wanted to try to get into the program there, but my grades from 20 years ago will still be held against me. (UGH...even though I...

  5. Did you do your research BEFORE you became a nurse?

    KristeyK replied to Tyler77's topic in General Students

    Some of you missed my point entirely. I was saying FINISH...get A degree. For instance, I have a friend with a degree in Meteorology, she has nothing to do with that field now, she works in...

  6. Did you do your research BEFORE you became a nurse?

    KristeyK replied to Tyler77's topic in General Students

    I tell people not to quit because even though they will graduate with whatever degree in nursing, there are jobs out there where an employer just wants to see a degree. Heck, there are some...

  7. Central Arizona College nursing program

    KristeyK replied to sophia'smom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have a friend who was JUST accepted into this program. I'll ask her about it. The only thing I can tell you for sure, you already know about. (The CNA requirement and Pinal Residents getting to the...

  8. Questions and concerns going to school at 36

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

    Hello. My name is Kristey and I was a Math phobic. I had to take high school Algebra three times to pass it. I got a mercy pass in college Algebra and Trigenometry. Fast forward 20 years.... I wanted...

  9. Celebrate Your Fall 2010 Acceptances Here!!!

    KristeyK replied to starmickey03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would. I was cconsidering a two hour commute to a school up in Phoenix until I got my acceptance letter. It'd stink to high heaven, but you and the person you carpool with could spend the extra time...

  10. Celebrate Your Fall 2010 Acceptances Here!!!

    KristeyK replied to starmickey03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, I am a little late to this party, but the school I applied to doesn't send out letters until late June. I GOT IN!!!!! YAY!!!!!! (Just got my letter

  11. Which education path to nursing should I take?

    KristeyK replied to thomascgty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get your BSN first and foremost then. At the very least get your RN then complete a BS in Healthcare Administration. (That is the BA I will have in a few months here, just as I start my RN program.)...

  12. A & P 1 2010 sticky thread?

    KristeyK replied to GavinsMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cannot STAND cats...wish I was in your program! lol. (Mostly j/k.) We use a CD from Anatomy & Physiology revealed that is a human cadaver, so I get to see all the veins, nerves, vessels,...

  13. What should i do?

    KristeyK replied to CheyanneMarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't sweat too much over A&P. I was FREAKED out about taking it and it has been well over 20 years since I had Biology. I have to study my rear end off, but it is coming to me quite quickly....

  14. Flashcard Suggestion for A&P class

    KristeyK replied to MacMaster's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Honestly, if you REALLY want to get a head start, get the materials you'll need for class and start memorizing everything, or at least reading the book. There is indeed a LOT to learn, but if I can do...

  15. A & P 1 2010 sticky thread?

    KristeyK replied to GavinsMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good job!!! I'm getting mad at myself because I get 99's and 100's on the quizzes and I got an 82 on my first exam. ACK! But dangit, I know the skull, vertebral column, thoracic bones and upper limb...

  16. Online - not completely a "memorization" class

    KristeyK replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P online myself. I make sure I memorize everything. I know for a fact that my future classes won't be open book like the online class is, and the more I have in my head now, the...

  17. What should i do?

    KristeyK replied to CheyanneMarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have the opportunity to get into an RN program right away, I'd do it. You won't be in school THAT much longer and you'll have what it is you wanted in the first

  18. A & P 1 2010 sticky thread?

    KristeyK replied to GavinsMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you able to take your English class online or in a self-paced course at the campus? I know my CC does that. English is DEFINITELY easy enough to take online. (It has the added benefit of not...

  19. A & P 1 2010 sticky thread?

    KristeyK replied to GavinsMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel your pain. Jack keeps wanting to spell his name and push all the buttons to find out what does what. Unfortunately, this is a new laptop and I have NO IDEA what some of these keys do

  20. A & P 1 2010 sticky thread?

    KristeyK replied to GavinsMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're not crazy AT ALL! I just happen to be "lucky" in the sense that I lost my job, so I have a LITTLE more time for the studying. Although having to watch video lectures online with a VERY...

  21. A & P 1 2010 sticky thread?

    KristeyK replied to GavinsMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a son who'll be four in a few weeks. Actually having to GO to class in August is going to suck. I've been going to school online for over a year now when I finally got the opportunity go get...

  22. Laptop vs. Pen/Paper

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

    For me, there's nothing like good old-fashioned pen and paper. I have to write something down in order to really learn it, so if I use the laptop in class, I won't learn. (Plus, I'll tempted to check...

  23. A & P 1 2010 sticky thread?

    KristeyK replied to GavinsMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Class is really cool so far. We just started chapter 3 today, so it's going FAST. It's also not too difficult yet, but I've had my book for about 5 weeks and started working ahead so I wouldn't feel...

  24. A&P Links?

    KristeyK posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, I did do a search and WOW there are a LOT of posts about A&P here. I was hoping that someone could point me in a direction to find references for A&P online. I ended up having to take...

  25. A & P 1 2010 sticky thread?

    KristeyK replied to GavinsMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just started my online class on Tuesday. We're using Hole's, and then a workbook called Anatomy & Physiology Revealed. (It came with a REALLY cool DVD, where we can "dissect" a
