  1. Taking pre-requisite classes vs CLEP test

    Copperismydog posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Copperismydog posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey everyone! I'm finishing my CNA course next week and will be looking for a job soon. I'm not sure if I want to work in long term care, home care or a hospital. I start RN school in September and...

  5. Will you still have pre/co-requisites to take while in NS?

    Copperismydog posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, I was wondering how many people who are in nursing school or starting soon will still have some courses to take besides nursing classes? Is it very difficult to take other classes while...

    Hi Everyone, I'm a Canadian citizen but am now living in the US as a permanent resident and am about to start a 2 year associate degree RN program in the fall. I will probably work as an RN in the US...

  7. Should I get a summer job before I start NS in the fall?

    Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I might look for a nursing assistant job after doing the CNA program in July. I'll only have a month to work before school starts, but I suppose I could work...

  9. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    Copperismydog posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Today in my A&P1 class the students managed to convince our professor that our last exam of the semester should be a take home exam! My professor said that she wont change the format, so it will...

  10. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    So my teacher ended up deciding to give the exam as a take home after all. However, now she is only giving us 2 days to write the exam instead of 13. She admitted that she wasn't thinking clearly...

  11. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    Yep, I know that my science background is making the class easier than it would be without it. However, I think the class is still pretty easy for most people to do well in. We get to drop our...

  12. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    I haven't found the class to be all that hard. I do put in effort, but the work isn't terribly overwhelming. I felt that a take home multiple choice exam would be ridiculously easy and wouldn't be...

  13. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    At my school grades ARE all that admissions looks at. And this is the only school I'm applying to. That's why I feel it's so important that the tests are an accurate reflection of each student's...

  14. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    Well the school I'm attending is the community college where I plan to apply for nursing. So at least most of the students applying for nursing will have taken the pre-requisites at the same school....

  15. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    THANK you!! So nice to hear that someone agrees with me. I don't want to be that obnoxious student that has to do better than everyone else, but when more than half the class is going to end up...

  16. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    Well the averages on the last 3 exams have been a low B. But my professor gives extra credit essays that bring everyone's score up by 6 points. So it is already very easy to get an A. I'm a little...

  17. ASN program and taking science classes at the same time

    Copperismydog posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone! So this year I am doing pre-requisites for nursing and will be done all of them by the end of next semester. I am getting As in all my classes and hope to get into nursing school next...

  18. ASN program and taking science classes at the same time

    Copperismydog replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for your reply. I agree with what you're saying about the ASN program taking away from focusing on my pharmacy pre-requisites. However, right now I'm more leaning towards getting my...

    Copperismydog replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The university where I did my undergraduate degree and the community college I'm planning to do my associate's in nursing have completely different grading scales. At my old school, and A was 80-100,...

    Copperismydog replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I usually do 3 hours of studying outside of class/week for classes that I find easier such as Human growth and development or math. I do more like 6 hours for classes that I find harder like A&P...

  23. Pre-Req's

    Copperismydog replied to Krystalia's topic in General Students

    I'm taking A&P 1 right now and I don't find it that difficult. It does help that I have a strong background in bio and chem going into it. I think it's really important to take these classes...

  25. "prereqs" or "coreqs"?

    Copperismydog replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also notice at my school that the classes are actually called "co-requisites", yet it seems like everyone finishes most of these classes before starting the nursing program. I think that students...
