    UTMB Fall 2011 Applicants

    lifelearningrn replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

    I never heard from them. The girls from my classes that applied have all interviewed and were accepted. While I was pretty sure my chances weren't great, it's kind of an ego killer not to have at...

    So Fustrated!! Please help!!

    lifelearningrn replied to acollin6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see I just gave you some advice you've pretty much already got! Sorry about that. I hate it when instructors make tests purposely tricky and confusing. I really don't think it accomplishes anything...

    So Fustrated!! Please help!!

    lifelearningrn replied to acollin6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you say you've tried flashcards, are you talking about the premade ones or the ones you make yourself? I get nothing out of flashcards unless I make them myself. It reinforces the concepts when...

    pre-nursing vs. LPN vs. ??

    lifelearningrn replied to kellihope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is very unlikely LPN will fulfill the prerequisites.. I actually have had several LPNs in my prerequisite classes just to bridge to ADN. So I wouldn't take this route. You do not have to declare a...

    Scared and Giving up because of failed mathcourse!!!

    lifelearningrn replied to Moni1033's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some math concepts you get and others you don't. I took a quantitative math course and it all made perfect sense. It required the same basic maths that college algebra did. College algebra, on the...

    Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    lifelearningrn replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager has called you into the office for other reasons. You couldn't get to work because of a snowstorm. Your employer made you so nervous that you made a mistake. I see a lot of blame being...

    In what order should I take these classes?

    lifelearningrn replied to Aly529's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, chem is not a prerequisite to any of the biological sciences (I think it may be for physics).. In fact, the only biology prerequisite was A/P1 before microbiology. The rest you could...

    HELP! What Do You Do When You Lose Focus?

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a big A/P 2 exam on Thursday and no matter how hard I try I can focus on the material (cardiac/respiratory).. I really can't afford to bomb this test if I want to maintain an A in this class.....

    HELP! What Do You Do When You Lose Focus?

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

    This is one of those times where I am happy to be wrong! I got a 93 and though it's not the most convincing A I'm thrilled since I was expecting in the 70s range! Thanks again y'all for whipping me...

    HELP! What Do You Do When You Lose Focus?

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

    Thanks everyone for your great advice... I knew I could count on y'all to kick me into gear. I took the test today and I can honestly say I have NO IDEA where I stand with it. I knew a lot of answers...

    May have failed an Anatomy exam (unreasonably hard Professor)

    lifelearningrn replied to Nung's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That lab test sounds ridiculous. If you're learning on cats, what is the point of doing an overhead with pictures? I'd be complaining to the head of the department on that

    Anyone have an instructor that was TOO EASY?

    lifelearningrn replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My nutrition class was pretty much a joke. The teacher would review after every lecture with multiple choice questions. Those were the EXACT questions on the exams so if you recorded her lectures, you...

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi fellow prenursing students! I thought I would check in and see how everyone is doing in their classes the semester. Check in and let us know how your classes are going, what are you loving or...

    Stats ruining my life...and GPA!

    lifelearningrn replied to honeythetutor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand your issue with understanding complex math, my dyslexia makes it quite difficult for me too. College Algebra was my downfall.. however, I found Stats to be quite doable, and actually...

    Microbiology help?

    lifelearningrn replied to RHIA, RN's topic in General Students

    Krebs isn't nearly as scary as people make it out to be.. once it clicks, it clicks. And we didn't go nearly in depth into it as we did in A/P and general

    Microbiology help?

    lifelearningrn replied to RHIA, RN's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to remember any chemistry we've done in Micro and nothing is springing to mind.. Micro is definitely not like chemistry.. you're learning about microbes (mostly bacteria).. I actually LOVE...

    Retaking Physiology and accept an F?

    lifelearningrn replied to Jade8626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow- I need a teacher like that for when I retake college algebra.

    Online classes. Yay or Nay?

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

    I'm not a huge fan of online classes.. I've taken my fair share and only a couple were worth a damn.. I think they are a great option if you can not make it to a physical class, but I think one gets...

    Scared I won't get in

    lifelearningrn replied to samantham90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with the school's policy when it comes to repeating the science classes. If it is okay (meaning they will take the later score) you should seriously consider retaking AP1 and get an A. Also-...
