    Help me understand...

    lifelearningrn replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is my opinion when the class average is below 50%, something is wrong with the instruction. Summer science classes are hard... I took general biology last summer (first science class in 15+ years)...

    Are we a dime a dozen?

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

    I'm really sorry you were treated that way. I found that when I took night and weekend classes, I was with people my age but day classes were mostly people in their teens or early 20s. I feel like I...

    Grades... bad

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

    lifelearningrn replied to wishingupon's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You'll know.. and if you have a conscience you'll be worried about it every step of the way. It's always better to do the right thing from the beginning.. be honest.. keep your conscience clear. Lots...

    Are we a dime a dozen?

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

    Well, I'll argue that 'older' students generally have more than just a perceived maturity. Maturity comes with age and experience. There is no substitute for time. :) However, I don't think that...

    Are we a dime a dozen?

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

    I really don't think your age puts you at a disadvantage at all. There are some separate programs for second degree candidates.. but you getting your prerequisites done will put you in the same boat...

    I was actually hoping you weren't just being mean spirited. Apparently I was wrong. I was merely pointing out your writing skills are less than professional as well. Congratulations on your terrific...

    lifelearningrn replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seriously? This sentence has more than one problem. I've put in bold some of your own misspellings and abbreviations. I also want to point out that you have plenty of sentence structure and...

    I'm registered in the fall for A&P1 w/lab, Lifespan, Stats and Nutrition. With out-of-district tuition, lab fees, and all the other added fees my total for the semester is exactly $999.00. This is...

    Science/Math isn't your thing, but you're doing it

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

    Science and math do NOT come naturally to me. I struggled through the concepts of biology 1 even though I loved the class and found it fascinating. Biology 2 came a little easier and I loved it even...

    Why does BSN take longer than an ADN?

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

    They are two different degrees. The "2" year ADN (is really three with the prerequisites) is an associate's degree. The BSN is the more advanced bachelor's degree and requires quite a bit more general...

    lifelearningrn replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    How far into your 30s are you.. if you don't mind my asking? 31 is a completely different story than 37 when it comes to fertility. To answer your question, I don't think you should try to do both at...

    lifelearningrn replied to mamacashew's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't know if things have just changed over the years but there are 2 semesters of prerequisite classes before one can even enter the "2 year" nursing degree program. It really takes 3 years for an...

    Microbiology and A&P 2 online?
