    I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a major dilemma. I've honestly put myself in deep. I really didn't think 3 science classes would be that bad since the past two semesters I've had VERY heavy loads and did awesome... but now...

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

    I've never even heard of physical chem.. lol no- this was a general basic chemistry 1 class. I know for a LOT of people this class is a breeze. Hopefully- when I take it by itself it'll click on and...

    Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    lifelearningrn replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know exactly how you feel in this respect. When my parents suffered from cancer (one after the other) they had such wonderful nurses. It really planted in me such a respect for the profession....

    TEAS V

    lifelearningrn replied to oliveiral1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I wasn't allowed a calculator.. and to be honest.. I don't think it's right at all if some places allow it and others don't, UNLESS it's being taken at a singular school and everyone taking for that...

    Dilemma

    lifelearningrn replied to funnygir's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why this is a dilemma... it's really none of your concern. What good would getting her kicked out do anyone at this point? And really- why do you think you should take it upon yourself to...

    Should I take chemistry just too impress?

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

    Yep and many people do and struggle big time! I took general biology 1 & 2 for my AA and I can honestly say it helped quite a bit! So far the only science prerequisite for another science has been...

    Should I take chemistry just too impress?

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

    Chem has not been a a prerequisite for any of my science classes and I cant say that it has hurt me much.. The small amount of chem we've touched on in these classes is simple! I think General...

    Should I take chemistry just too impress?

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

    Where I go to school, A/P1 was the pre-requisite for Microbiology... but Chem is required for all the BSN programs (but none of the ADNs I'm looking at)... Don't take 'em if you don't need 'em is my...

    Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    lifelearningrn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    This is where you lack empathy.. there are so many people out there that believe everyone else in the world should live by what motivates YOU. People don't realize that everybody is DIFFERENT. It's...

    Should I take chemistry just too impress?

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

    I don't think a pre-nursing degree is going to be any more impressive than any other pre-nursing degree/programs in the eyes of an employer. You're really only as good as your latest degree when you...

    How to interpret TEAS scores?

    lifelearningrn replied to sdrenfro32's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Does your school give you a 'minimum' composite score for acceptance? I'm pretty sure they are looking at your adjusted individual score. Out of the 2 universities that require TEAS in my area, one's...

    how did you study for A&P2?

    lifelearningrn replied to meghan91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First tests are always hard because you have no idea what they are going to throw at you! You've been studying the material so you should be good. I always feel like it's not sticking, ESPECIALLY with...

    how did you study for A&P2?

    lifelearningrn replied to meghan91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Muscle physiology is a killer. The nervous system is challenging in it's own right so having both on one test is going to be difficult. How much studying have you put into this before now? The exam is...

    lifelearningrn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing
