  1. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Meesterjojo replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Just checked this thread due to notification- someone responded after 2-3 weeks! Anyway, I'm not allowed to- I believe I had it in my OP, but when my thread was moved to this forum, I was told, in...

  2. Texas WIA and school?

    Meesterjojo posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Howdy! I'm heading back to school this fall, full time, and eventually aim to get into UT SON here in the Med Center (Houston). My question is does WIA (workforce investment act) help pay for...

  3. UT School of Nursing- Houston pre-req questions

    Meesterjojo posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought I'd post this here in the hopes of garnering a response rather than in my existing thread about going back to school. I'm going to UofH Downtown for these first 2 semesters, and I see that...

  4. UT School of Nursing- Houston pre-req questions

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

    What was your experience with A&P I? I'm presuming you've taken it? I'm enrolled for this Fall. I'm curious as I see there is only 1 teacher, and I read iffy things about her on

  5. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

    Meesterjojo posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, really, in your experience how bad is it. What school did you take it from, and what supplements did you use (if any) to help you with the course/lab? What are the labs like? I'm enrolled in...

  6. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    Yeah, I reckon the first day or 2 of A&P 1 is going to determine how I study. I have classes, mind you, on Mon/Weds (Math and English), then A&P+Lab and Into to Psych on Tues/Thurs. Hopefully...

  7. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    It's not that I won't have time to study, I'm more worried about my ability to study. Despite making high/perfect grades on my entry exams (except math) there is a part of my that feels...sluggish....

  8. Almost 30 & starting Pre-Nursing. How long is school?

    Meesterjojo replied to wifeandmommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's terribly stressful now that I'm entering my pre-reqs. Having to maintain a 3.7 or higher. What school are you looking to get into? I'm interesting first in UT Health Science School of Nursing...

  9. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    Right on, very detailed. Much thanks. Curious- so my A&P is a 4 credit course, which I take to mean that I get 1 grade for both lab and lecture. Hmmm. Additionally my school doesn't break-down...

  10. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    So a lot of people keep mentioning bones- I'm guessing that whatever exam is based on the bones is hell due to the 206 bones in the body, and you have to know all of them? What was the worst section...

  11. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    That is interesting as I had the same thought for just this course, re: taping the lecture and typing up the notes. However, I'm reading that many times taping isn't allowed, and most sources claim...

  12. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    The Kaplan Flash Cards- right on. I've got a list of study aids saved on Amazon along with textbooks to buy. This is the class I'm most anxious about, but since there are no science or math pre-reqs,...

  13. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    They have an "Atlas" and an interaction CD/DVD which, so everyone on amazon says, is better than the coloring books for studying. Sound similar to your practice site. In your opinion do you think it's...

  14. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    All I've been able to discern is that it's heavy

  15. Almost 30 & starting Pre-Nursing. How long is school?

    Meesterjojo replied to wifeandmommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    John Hopkin's requires a 3.0 Duke requires a 3.0 (but 3.4 to exempt from GRE) UCSan Fran doesn't have a BSN but only asks for 3.0 UT Health Science/SON requires 3.0 The #1 ranked nursing school...

  16. Questions and concerns going to school at 36

    Meesterjojo posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Granted, not old by any means (well, perhaps a few might say I am), but as the Fall semester gets closer to starting, I'm becoming more aware of this growing anxiety in me. A few details: I'm 36 years...

  17. Questions and concerns going to school at 36

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

    Right on! I just, literally, got home from my final day of orientation, and registering for my fall classes. Anatomy & Physiology I + Lab, English I, Intro to Psych, Developmental Math...and...

  18. Questions and concerns going to school at 36

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

    Except that to qualify for full-time status, for aid and such, I have to be enrolled in 12 credit hours of class. So yeah, I do have to take 4 courses + developmental math it seems. Also- I'm going...

  19. Questions and concerns going to school at 36

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

    So I'm reading more horror stories about A&P, which I'm going to take A&P 1 my freshman fall semester. Is this wise? No other science course, just a cultural anthro course, english, my...

  20. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Meesterjojo replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You seem rather...heated. Sorry to encourage such on here I could be mistaken, and hope I am :) As for the 'requirement'- again, my mistake. Looking at the AACN website...

  21. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Meesterjojo replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    True, but these groups also oppose ANPs also. Pretty much NPs, period. But what concerns me is all these med students holding these beliefs, which will only grow deeper and stronger, then going into...

  22. Diabetic Neuropathy

    Meesterjojo replied to RNroyce's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Just curious about your treatment. I'm still in school, granted now later in life, but years ago after diagnosis I discovered Dr. Bernstein. His books changed my life, and his story is simply amazing,...

  23. Is healthcare a right or privilege?

    Meesterjojo replied to Treat et Street's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's a right, or should be, as a U.S. citizen. I believe that the very reason we form governments is for our mutual benefit and protection. Medical care seems like a basic right- something that...

  24. Patient made me feel like low life

    Meesterjojo replied to FiduciaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it has less to do with the need of the patient to 'criticize/humiliate' strangers, and more to do with social standards. If you're interacting with folks of an older generation, especially,...

  25. Questions and concerns going to school at 36

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

    I'm hoping to get into UTHSC BSN program- they have a list of pre-requisite courses from other Texas colleges, including the one I'm enrolled in now. Sadly we don't have an option for Organic Chem as...
