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

    Ncbutterfly - just jump right back in! We had our muscle/nervous system(overview, CNS, brain) lecture test on Tuesday. I got a 94 which is my lowest grade yet. There was a lot to study and I made a...

  3. A&P....love it or hate it?

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

    I really loved Micro, more so than AP. I thought the labs were interesting and you get o grow things. You also get to do detective work to figure out what microbes you are given. It is pretty...

  4. A&P....love it or hate it?

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

    I really like my teacher or AP and enjoy the classes. I think though it seems a bit slow. I was looking forward to taking AP 2 in the summer for the increased pace but I won't be able to do

    leenak replied to MsFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you reading your book as well? I find that my book tends to highlight the important points. I go through my book and make notes of the important points, write them down and review my notes. Are...

  6. Pre req Tuition

    leenak replied to St07fwd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will have to check with your school. I go to a local community college and my science classes are about $540. My non-science classes are about $420. That doesn't include books or anything, just...

  7. How competitive is it "really" to get into a Accelerated BSN?

    leenak replied to whattodo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to one, 4.0 in my pre-reqs with a GPA of a little over 3.0 in everything total. I didn't get in. For many ABSN programs, GPA isn't the only factor though. They will say things like the...

  8. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

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

    We still have a little over a month to go in our class. We still have a paper to write, 1 lecture exam, 1 lab exam and the final. The good news is that I got my muscle lab test back and got a

  9. Nursing Essay 2012

    leenak replied to stacey25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since I know this is important to you, I'm going to nitpick a little. Feel free to ignore any advice you disagree with :) Each sentence should stand on its own, I know this sentence is referencing...

  11. Intro to Computer Science... Online?

    leenak replied to AaronsMommyxx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I'd say be careful. My first undergrad degree is Computer Science and I'd be surprised to see potential nursing students take an Intro to Computer Science course. If you need a computer...

  12. Tips on getting an A in A&P1?

    leenak replied to avalee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a test today and as I'm studying for the test, I thought of something else I do. I try to remember things in a way that it is meaningful to me. It may sound totally unscientific but that it...

  13. Tips on getting an A in A&P1?

    leenak replied to avalee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I wouldn't be too intimidated. Anatomy builds on itself though. So when you learn the areas of the body, it helps you learn the bones. When you learn the bones, that and the areas of the...

  14. Tips on getting an A in A&P1?

    leenak replied to avalee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm getting an A so for in A&P. (Out of 4 tests, my lowest score is 97)I'd say find your own study techniques that work for you. Honestly, I don't study a lot. I go to every class and every lab...

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

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

  17. Nursing Essay Question

    leenak replied to stacey25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with others, tell us what the question is for the essay. As others have said, lots of people work and go to school and receive good

  18. I've Failed The NCLEX 8 Times & Now I'm about To Take It 1 More Time...

    leenak replied to eutawville11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you should take an honest look at your options and I don't think that means giving up nursing. 1) Refresher course - You have been out of school for 8 years. A refresher course could help...

  19. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    leenak replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked into the peace corps? I think you have a good idea of what you want. You are still at the exploration phase though and it can change somewhat as you get older and get more...

  20. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

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

    Been too busy studying! We had our lab exam last night and I kicked butt. There was one slide (spongy tissue) that I wasn't positive about and I should've checked my lab notes prior so I might've...

    leenak replied to AaronsMommyxx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Rejected. Now what?

    leenak replied to MK84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to one school and also wasn't accepted. I know the general reason was my lack of recent experience. I am looking into volunteer activities to bolster my experience. I've also been looking...

  24. Math Pre-reqs for Nursing School

    leenak replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am mathematically inclined so my opinion is somewhat biased. I've never taken College algebra so I have no opinions on it. As for statistics, the classes vary widely. I took a statistics class in...

  25. What is going on with funding at UCSF?

    leenak replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I wish you the guys the best of luck and I don't know if it is helpful or not but I went to a UC for my undergrad quite a few years ago. California has been struggling on funding for major programs...
