  1. Do you think this is too much to do?

    LorilouRN replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I in an 8 week course this summer and am currently taking A&P II and Microbiology together. Unlike the last poster, mine is flipped, my A&P professor expects the high level of...

  2. My thoughts on becoming a nursing student

    LorilouRN replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel your pain! Back in June or July I was told there were already 150+ applicants and there were only going to be 36 chosen. Our deadline was Aug 1 and I just found out last week I was granted...

  3. What is more difficult? AP or Microbilogy?

    LorilouRN replied to sueelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is easier than A&P at my school. In fact, a lot of it is from A&P I which I already took, so it feels like some new facts plus review since I already had to learn it in every unit so...

  4. Help With Protein Synthesis

    LorilouRN replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, I remember many an essay question on these! We had to remember the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA---->RNA----->Proteins (with transcription, aka RNA synthesis, occurring over the...

  5. Passed out - HELP!

    LorilouRN replied to cjohns889's topic in General Students

    I used to be a veterinary technician and some days were worse than others during surgery. The doc told me to go sit down and eat something like a granola bar. It works! I was told some people can...

  6. Military Husband:Are Nursing CreditsTransferable To Different Nursing Schools?

    LorilouRN replied to Care215's topic in General Students

    I assume he's doing some training, so if you can find out where his follow on is, I might start looking at colleges there. 6-9 months isn't giving you much time where he currently is. If you still...

  7. Balancing school with motherhood & a deployed husband.

    LorilouRN replied to ashleighannb's topic in General Nursing

    I am also an AF wife. The good thing about school is that it will keep you busy! I've got 2 boys and, if I make it in, will be starting nursing school when my hubby deploys again. Mine are older,...

  8. I got my acceptance letter!!!!

    LorilouRN replied to rntobe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!!

  9. waiting on admission or rejection (oh my nerves!)

    LorilouRN replied to scrubasaurus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes! Our deadline was August 1st, then they had us take the entrance exam at the end of August and they said they would notify everyone by the end of September. There are 7 days left in September and...

  10. Microbiology with A&P I OR II?

    LorilouRN replied to JennL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I over the summer and am currently taking A&P II with Micro. So far, I find this pretty advantageous because in my first unit for Micro, which my prof says is the hardest, we are...

  11. Micro Fall 2010

    LorilouRN replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My book is Microbiology a human perspective by Nester. Our first exam is over chapters 1-3 and 12-14 and will be next Wednesday. Got 100% on first quiz but it was open book/open note, so not too...

  12. A&P ONLINE

    LorilouRN replied to KareBear0609's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really depends on your instructor! I've had many online classes and some teachers are just useless online. But I have an A&P teacher who is wonderful. He's supposed to be the most...

  13. First A&P 1 test tomorrow--any advice/tips?

    LorilouRN replied to pixiesandpolkadots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I did A&P I (this past summer semester), my study partner found a website called anatomyarcade.com. I used it to study things like muscles and bones. It starts out easier and as you get...

  14. Spring 2011 Hopefuls!!

    LorilouRN replied to Noel1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm waiting to find out if I got in for Spring 2011 too! I've applied at USD (South Dakota) and have already taken the entrance exam and now the waiting game begins! Our apps were due Aug 1st and we...

  15. Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam

    LorilouRN replied to ndb0001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi ndb0001, No, all the math problems I saw on the exam were covered in the study guide. Nothing unexpected and nothing as in depth on my test as I saw in the study guide either, so the test was much...

  16. Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam

    LorilouRN replied to bonnevie13's topic in School, College Programs

    I've heard each test is different. As far as the science, as I said, I didn't feel the study guide covered what was on my exam and I think studying the A&P book would have been more helpful, but...

  17. Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam

    LorilouRN replied to ndb0001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I posted on another thread about my experience with this exam. I was frustrated because I couldn't find any information on this exam either and in fact, I thought I was studying for the NET until the...

  18. Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam

    LorilouRN replied to bonnevie13's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree with bd22. I took the test week before last and I found the writing, reading, and math to be basic and much easier than in the study guide. However, the science I felt was much more specific...
